Alumilux Step Light Rough-In Box, 4 x 4 in Wall Accessory, by ET2

The ET2 Alumilux Step Light Rough-In Box is a wall accessory for the Alumilux Step Light family, 4 in by 4 in with a 2 in projection. It is the part that goes into the wall before the finished step light, so a stair, a landing or a garden wall can be wired during construction and finished later.

The box is a small unit that weighs 0.44 lb, or 0.49 lb packed, and it does not include a bulb or an LED. Think of it as the structure behind the fixture: the wiring is brought to the box at the rough-in stage, and the step light is added at trim-out. The 2 in projection tells you how much wall depth to plan for, so check the framing, masonry or retaining wall before you set the box. Plan the spacing of step lights along the stair run before you set each box.

Where it works best

Use the rough-in box when you are building a new stair, a retaining wall, a patio step or a garden wall and want step lights set into the surface. It is a good fit for contractors and designers who want wiring in place before finish materials go on. Set the boxes at an even spacing along the run, and keep the height consistent so the lights read as a line.

Who this is not for

This is an installation part, not a light, so it is only useful with a matching Alumilux step light. It does not include a bulb or LED. The location rating and exact fixture compatibility are not listed here, so confirm both against the step light you plan to use. It is meant for new work or open walls, since it is set at rough-in stage.

Why we carry ET2

We carry the rough-in box because a step lighting plan depends on getting the wiring right before the wall is finished. It is a small, inexpensive part that prevents a costly rework later.

Care and installation

Keep the box clean and free of debris during construction, and cover the opening until the step light is installed. A qualified electrician should wire the box, as ET2 recommends.

Frequently asked questions

How big is the rough-in box?

The box measures 4 in by 4 in and projects 2 in. Plan for at least that much depth in the wall, and check it against the framing or masonry before you set it.

Does the box include a light?

No. The box does not include a bulb or an LED, so you need an Alumilux step light to complete the installation. Order the two together so they match.

When is the box installed?

It is installed at rough-in, which is the stage when the wall and wiring are built and before finish materials go on. The step light itself is added later.

How much does it weigh?

The box weighs 0.44 lb, or 0.49 lb in its package. It is light, but it still needs to be fastened securely to the wall structure during rough-in.

Where can I use it?

It suits stairs, landings and garden or retaining walls where a step light will be set into the surface. Always check the wall construction first.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes. ET2 recommends a qualified electrician, and the wiring should follow local code for outdoor and step lighting.
