The Elipta Smoothie Eyelid Light (copper) is a stylish 240v recessed light for illuminating steps or patios which can take a choice of GU10 3w or 5w led lamps. Order lamps separately. Smoothie is fitted with a frosted lens as standard to diffuse the lighting and the eyelid hood hides the lamp from above when walking past. The natural copper will weather to a nutty brown clour with some verdigris patina after a few months.The light is located by an "O" ring on the body into a sleeve tube so that no external screw fixings are visible. Remember that recessed steplights are in effect recessed spotlights - avoid using them facing viewpoints. Order GU10 lamp separately.
Colour/Finish:
Natural copper weathers to a mottled brown finish which blends well with red brick and timber

IP65
Construction:
Front bezel with eyelid is attached to tubular aluminium body which unscrews into 2 halves without tools for easy lamp changing. 2m cable via rear entry cable
Input Voltage:
240v
Lamp Type:
GU10 3w or 5w led lamps. Order lamps separately
Installation:
The plastic sleeve is built into the wall during construction or retrofitted into a hole cut with a coring bit: the light pushes into the tube, where it is held firmly in place by an o-ring, leaving a front plate with no visible fixing screws.
Using a single RCD for large numbers of 240v fittings is not recommended due to the risk of nuisance tripping. We advise the use of separate RCD protection for each circuit and a maximum of 12 fittings per RCD. Where a garden lighting installation of more than 12 spike mount or recessed lights per circuit is proposed, we suggest the installation of 12v units with transformers, which results in a significantly higher fault tolerance and reliability in the total installation
