Aluminum Step Lights

Measure the width of each riser and then mark the center where the fixture will be placed. Remove the screws and front faceplate from the fixture.

Hold the fixture up into its approximate final location and measure down about a half-inch below the tread. This is where the fixture will sit. Use a level to make sure the fixture sits level underneath the step.

Make a pencil mark across the top edge of the fixture.Measure the inside portion of the fixture that gets recessed into the step riser. This determines how big of a hole will need to be cut.
