Default Step Lights

I am not sure what these are called. I think they are called step lights.

From the driveway, I take three steps up to the landing that leads to the
front door. On each side of the steps is a 32" wide 24" tall concrete
"block". There is a pole light on top of these block, and in the front of
these blocks is a recessed rectangular light.

These lights are falling apart. The glass were broken and I pulled the
cover plate off.

The cover plates:

There is a piece inside that the two bulb sockets are attached to:

If I pull the piece out the inside look like this:

Closer look:

They are step lights and they're toast now. Very typical for step lights in
masonry. There are some companies that make the housings out of plastic
now.
