Common Questions
Answered by the Nora Furnish team
About this piece
How does the sensor work?
A PIR sensor above the light slot detects movement. The light turns on as someone approaches and switches off about 30 to 50 seconds after movement stops.
Does it need a bulb?
No. A 3W LED is built in, in warm 3000K, neutral 4000K or cool 6000K white.
Can it go outdoors?
Yes. This is the waterproof version, for indoor stairs, hallways and outdoor steps.
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?

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

The idea
The best step light sits where your feet go.
Low light set into a stair or deck shows every edge without glare, and turns the route into a quiet line of light.

- PIR motion sensor
- Built-in 3W LED
- Auto off when clear
The diagnosis
Why most steps
are hard to read at night.
Three things that make a deck, a stair or a terrace edge harder to use after dark.
A tread you cannot see.
Without light at foot level, the edge of every step is a guess after dark.
Light from the wrong height.
A light overhead throws your own shadow onto the very steps you are trying to see.
Fittings that break the line.
Bulky fixtures on a deck or stair interrupt the clean lines you designed.
The Gradone was chosen to answer all three.
See how it answers themThe solution
How the Gradone
lights every step.
A clean line of light
A slim vertical step light that sits flush in the wall and lights a soft beam across the tread when someone approaches.
Warm, never harsh
Light in 3000K warm white, flattering to stone, brick and planting.
Made to live outdoors
Aluminum body and faceplate with a painted or brushed finish. Offered in black, white, gray, gold or silver.
Lights as you arrive
A built-in motion sensor switches it on as someone approaches, and off again once the area is clear.
The Nora Furnish standard
Three promises,
in every piece we carry.
What we look for before anything earns a place in the collection, and what you can count on once it is yours.
01
Real materials, honestly described.
Travertine, alabaster, brass, glass and linen, chosen for how they hold light. Materials, dimensions and care are written out on every product page.
02
Warm light, by design.
We favor warm 2700K to 3000K light and finishes that look as good switched off at noon as they do lit at midnight.
03
Delivered free, and backed.
Free standard shipping across the US, 30 days from delivery to decide, and a 30-day warranty. Questions go to a real person at info@norafurnish.com.

NORA FURNISH
A PIR sensor above the light slot detects movement. The light turns on as someone approaches and switches off about 30 to 50 seconds after movement stops.

NORA FURNISH
No. A 3W LED is built in, in warm 3000K, neutral 4000K or cool 6000K white.
QCan it go outdoors?
NORA FURNISH
