Help finding lighting

[brother]

Ive been searching the internet for some ideas on some lighting that needs replacing. This is outside lighting that is a 'step' lighting encased in concrete. the present lighting has been completely corroded and filled with water. So it looks like we might have to run it on the surface (conduit etc.) to cover the hole where the old ligting was.

Any other ideas you have would be appreciated. I found only 1 that might work, but looking for other ideas. It just seems that these type of lights couldve been made more durable.

I hate those step lights. Most are wired incorrectly and they are problems forever. Unfortunately most outdoor lights are problems.

You may be better off leaving those lights and adding some other low voltage lights.

Vista makes some nice lights but I doubt it will fill the hole.

I would only consider low voltage.
I had some HID ones that were so poorly made that I ended up drilling a drain holes in all of the covers.

Thats basically what we had to do here, drill a hole so the water can drain. But now its gotten so bad that its rusting them out and the conduit is full of water

Outside lights are the pits because they require to much maintanance for the average homeowner. Retrofitting into an exsisting concrete hole and having it finish off nice seems unlikely without getting into custom manufacturing.
Is the conduit in good enough shape to pull LV cable through or does it have to be abandoned as well? Anything I can think of seems like an expensive fix if you want to fix it up nice. There are a lot of nice recessed LV stair lights available. Perhaps there is one that might fit into the exsisting hole, you could then get a concrete finisher to fill the hole to fit the new fixture. Hard to say without knowing the finish of the wall and such...

You might take a look at these

Not sure what size openings you are dealing with so these may or may not work. Either way, if it's step lighting I'm installing, I wouldn't do anything but LED's.

I like those...
Just as a quick link fix-

One issue might be the integral transformer rather than being able to just rope all the lights with LV cabling. But maybe you could just order the housing and light minus the X-Mer at a discount.

the L at the end musta got cut off when you copied/pasted
