## 5cento, surface mounted step light for back boxes

MORE INFO

**[5Cento](https://www.simes.it/en/catalogue/famiglia.php?idM=171&fam=5cento)**is a versatile step light with limited dimensions and a slim design that can be easily installed in common electrical back boxes for plasterboard or masonry.

 

 

With only **22mm of protrusion**, **[5cento](https://www.simes.it/en/catalogue/famiglia.php?idM=171&fam=5cento)** has been developed in two different components:

- **the body of the luminaire** to be mounted on the wall or on the back box thanks to a modular installation system; 

-  **a magnetic plate** that fixes perfectly onto the body of the luminaire.

The union of the two parts makes the luminaire **totally free of visible screws.**

5cento **can be fixed to the traditional electrical back boxes** for plasterboard or masonry which are common in Italy (from here comes the inspiration for the name 5cento), but also for other European standards such as France, UK and Germany.

**[5cento](https://www.simes.it/en/catalogue/famiglia.php?idM=171&fam=5cento)** has been developed in **3 different versions: square, rectangular, rectangular long.** In the two rectangular versions, the driver can be housed directly in the back box. Because of reduced dimension in the square version the driver is  installed remote.

For maximum flexibility in installation, [**5cento**](https://www.simes.it/en/catalogue/famiglia.php?idM=171&fam=5cento) has been conceived with a **modular installation system**, so that the larger versions can be installed on the smaller electrical back boxes.
