Amerlux weather-proof step light win Product Innovation Award
Text by Delta EMEA 2019/12

Amerlux weather-proof step light, which prevents water seepage, has been recognized as one of the most innovative solution in the industry by Architectural Products magazine.

The judging panel consists of 14 independent professionals from various industries such as architecture and media. They evaluated the architectural products based on their developmental and comprehensive innovation and recognized the companies that take sustainability, functionality, lifetime, and pricing all into consideration. Amerlux weather-proof step light, which prevents water seepage, solves the main cause of light failure. Along with the top-shelf aesthetics, the product adds warmth to any project.

Step light is usually used in steps, stairs and on the wall to illuminate the passage and provides aesthetic value for the building’s facade. Water seepage gives a headache to lighting designers, landscape architects and energy service companies when recommending step lights to users such as facility managers. Facility managers are responsible for addressing the ongoing maintenance issues and safety problems associated with fixing devices.

Weather-proof Passo step light has an independently-sealed LED optical chamber, which prevents light failure and the associated manpower cost due to water infiltration. In addition, the advanced LED core technology has significantly lower energy consumption than traditional ones, increasing the return on investment. 

Passo step light has been successfully applied in Snowmass Village, a ski town near Aspen, Colorado. When the town wanted to redevelop its town center, it needed affordable wayfinding while preserving the area’s iconic alpine skyline and starry nights. The town chose Amerlux Passo LED step lights and a total of 125 step lights have been installed around the plaza and neighboring hotels so far. As more buildings are being constructed, it is estimated that 500 more step lights will be installed.
