LED Step well light
Yahoo Message Number: 135487
Hi Chris. That is the light. LPC-x-W2. The x is replaced with a B for black. I have a spare chromed brass one. I didn't like the chrome look, but the metal would withstand impacts better. The N goes in front of the W2 to specify  the color temperature of the light. I chose the brighter 6500k light for  visibility. Not reading or worried about color rendition. In comparing the old  light I removed to the chrome one, the screw spacing is the same. The body of  the LED is shorter and may not cover a large hole behind it as well as the old  fixture but the mothership hole for the wiring was small enough to not show. The  LED comes with a rubber gasket, not needed indoors, but there might be some  light leakage in the upward direction. The factory had two black wires, so I  used a meter to determine which was the 12v. to hook to the red and black wires  on the new light. RonB and Bluebelle a '99KB.

Thanks for the clarification, Ron.

I've ordered this one on eBay ($5, free shipping). . . haven't received it yet, but it looks to be good quality, powder coat over aluminum, and very low profile - - I'll probably spray paint them tan. It's wider than the LD light so hole spacing won't be an issue, nor will filling in a bit of original hole below the new fixture.

 Those might be the thing for lighting cabinet interiors or exterior storage bins. Being metal, they should be resilient to impacts. The IP65 rating means it can be used in wet conditions, an advantage for  exterior application.

Might be a good solution to dark corners. The label say 10-12V, wonder how they will handle 15V ? I think I'll order some also.

I scored ONE of these from a Wally clearance rack somewhere this past summer for $1. It is a perfect replacement for the night light
