The Elipta Smoothie Eyelid Light (stainless steel) is a stylish 240v recessed light for illuminating steps or patios which can take a choice of GU10 3w or 5w LED lamps. This garden light is a frosted lens as standard to diffuse the lighting and the eyelid hood hides the lamp from above when walking past. The light is located by an "O" ring on the body into a sleeve tube so that no external screw fixings can be seen. Remember that recessed steplights are in effect recessed spotlights and we recommend avoiding using them facing viewpoints. Order lamps separately.

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
