About the Hillside
Key Features
- Acrylic and aluminum step bar
- Single bar or sets of up to 20
- Hardwired, steady through winter
- Sealed for permanent outdoor use
- Marks each stair edge at night
Exterior Step Light Strip gives a continuous line of light rather than a row of separate points, which is what makes a step or a deck edge read cleanly at night. It is wired in rather than solar, so the output stays the same through winter and on overcast days. Built from acrylic and aluminum and sealed for permanent outdoor use. Several sizes are offered, so it can be matched to a step, deck, railing or eave rather than forced to fit.

Common Questions
Answered by the Nora Furnish team
About this piece
Which length fits my steps?
Measure the width of a step. The bars come in 11.81, 19.69 and 39.37 inch lengths. Choose the length that sits comfortably within the step, leaving an even margin at each end.
How many bars do I need?
Usually one per step. Sets of five, ten, fifteen and twenty make it easy to order a whole staircase at once, so every step gets the same length and the same warm light.
What color is the light?
The light is warm, with a color temperature listed from 2700K to 3999K. That soft, golden tone suits decks, garden steps and porches, and feels welcoming at night.
Shipping, returns and help
Is shipping free?
Yes. Standard shipping is free on every order delivered within the United States, with no minimum purchase.
What is your return policy?
You can request a return within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in their original condition and in the original packaging. Email info@norafurnish.com before sending anything back.
What if it arrives damaged or faulty?
We send a replacement at no charge, and the return costs you nothing. Email your order number and a photo of the problem to info@norafurnish.com.
When will I receive my refund?
Once your return arrives and is approved, the refund usually shows on your original payment method within 5 to 7 business days.
Is there a discount when I buy more than one item?
Yes. Add 2 items to your cart and you save 10%, add 3 or more and you save 15%. It applies automatically, no code needed, and cannot be combined with other discount codes.
Do I need an electrician?
Hardwired fixtures such as chandeliers, pendants, flush mounts and wall sconces connect to your home wiring, so we recommend a licensed electrician for those. Plug in, battery, solar and rechargeable lights need no wiring.
Can I order it in another size or finish?
Every size and finish available is listed in the options above. For help finding the closest match in the catalog, email info@norafurnish.com.
How do I reach you?
Email info@norafurnish.com. The team works Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (CST), and replies within 1 to 2 business days.

Made to be part of the house
Wired in once.
Beautiful for years.
The Hillside is hardwired to an outdoor-rated junction box by a licensed electrician, for steady light every night on your own switch.

Three lengths, one idea
One design,

The same design in three lengths, each with its own measurements below. Choose by the space it will live in.
The idea
The best stair light follows your feet.
A quiet line of light along each tread shows every edge without glare, and makes the walk up or down at night feel calm and sure.

The diagnosis
Why most stairs
are hard to read at night.
Three things that make a staircase harder to use, and less beautiful, after dark.
A tread you cannot see.
Without light at foot level, the edge of every step is a guess at night.
A switch at the wrong end.
Hunting for a switch at the bottom of a dark stair is exactly when you need the light most.
Light from overhead.
A ceiling light throws your own shadow onto the steps you are trying to see.
The Hillside was chosen to answer all three.

Customer Reviews
QWhich length fits my steps?
NORA FURNISH
Measure the width of a step. The bars come in 11.81, 19.69 and 39.37 inch lengths. Choose the length that sits comfortably within the step, leaving an even margin at each end.
QHow many bars do I need?
NORA FURNISH
Usually one per step. Sets of five, ten, fifteen and twenty make it easy to order a whole staircase at once, so every step gets the same length and the same warm light.
QWhat color is the light?
NORA FURNISH
The light is warm, with a color temperature listed from 2700K to 3999K. That soft, golden tone suits decks, garden steps and porches, and feels welcoming at night.
QWhat are the bars made of?
NORA FURNISH
They are made from acrylic and aluminum. Slight variation in color and finish between units is normal on this kind of fixture, so bars in a set may differ very slightly.
QWhere should I mount them?
NORA FURNISH
On the riser for light that falls across the tread, or under the tread nose for a softer downlight onto the step below. Center one bar on each step for a tidy look.
QDo they need an electrician?
NORA FURNISH
Yes. They are hardwired, so plan the power route and connections with an electrician before fixing the bars. All required mounting hardware and instructions are included.
QCan I use two bars on a wide step?
NORA FURNISH
Yes. For a very wide staircase, place two bars side by side on each step to cover the width. Choose matching lengths so the staircase looks even.
QHow do I clean them?
NORA FURNISH
Switch them off and let them cool, then clean the lens with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away. Avoid abrasive cleaners, and dry the metal after heavy rain.
QWill they work in winter?
NORA FURNISH
Yes. They are hardwired rather than solar, so the light stays steady through winter and on overcast evenings, which matters most on steps in the dark months.
QIs there a white light option?
NORA FURNISH
These bars are warm only, with a color temperature listed from 2700K to 3999K. For cooler light, look at the other step and deck lights in the outdoor collections.
