A Solid Copper Eyelid Step Light for Low Voltage Circuits
This is Hunza's Step Light Solid Eyelid in copper, a recessed fitting with a solid metal eyelid hood cast over the lamp face. The hood curves down and forward so light spills across the step or path below it without ever throwing glare back up at anyone walking past. Once installed it sits flush in its mounting canister, leaving just the copper face showing against the brick, stone or timber around it.
Solid Copper Eyelid
The flange and eyelid hood on this fitting are cast from a single piece of solid copper, not plated or coated onto another metal underneath. Hunza gives it a smooth machined finish with no visible mounting holes, so the line of the fitting stays clean. Copper is a natural finish, which means it will gradually darken and develop a patina outdoors rather than staying bright. Most people choose it for exactly that reason, it ages in a way that suits brick, stone and timber settings.
How It Works
The eyelid hood covers around two thirds of the lamp face in a fixed position, so it cannot be aimed or adjusted after fitting. The shape does the work instead, directing light down and forward across a step tread or path while keeping the lamp itself out of direct view. The recessed body measures 63.5mm in diameter and 68.5mm in length, with a matching 63.5mm cut out. The visible flange is 88mm across and 7mm deep, and the eyelid adds a further 25mm of depth. It comes with a 1m cable ready to wire in.
This is the low voltage version of this solid eyelid step light, wired in parallel and run from a Hunza buriable transformer together with a Hunza approved MR16 LED lamp, both sold separately. If your project calls for a mains fitting instead, the same eyelid is also available as the GU10 mains version, which runs straight off the mains supply without a transformer.
Where It Works Best
- Recessed into brick or masonry steps to light each tread
- Fitted into retaining walls or low garden walls beside a path
- Marking a change in level on a patio, terrace or staircase
- Anywhere a discreet, glare free wash of light is wanted rather than a visible point of light
Our Own Installations
The in situ photographs on this page, showing the eyelid recessed into brick step risers, timber railway sleeper steps and curved garden walls, are Moonlight Design's own designs and installations. They are not stock imagery. One of them shows this copper finish fitted into a run of dark brick steps, which gives a genuine sense of how the copper reads once it is in the ground rather than in a studio shot.
Good to Know
- Usually ships within 2 to 3 days. If temporarily out of stock, allow 3 to 5 weeks for a fresh batch
- Returns accepted within 14 days if the fitting is unused, uninstalled and in its original packaging
- No bulb is supplied. A Hunza approved MR16 LED lamp must be used to keep the IP66 rating and warranty valid
- Requires a Hunza buriable transformer, sold separately
- Solid copper is a natural finish and will weather and patina over time outdoors, this is expected rather than a fault
- Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician
- Backed by Hunza's 10 year warranty
Questions People Ask
Is the eyelid on this fitting solid copper all the way through?
Yes. The flange and eyelid hood are a solid copper casting rather than a copper plated coating, which is part of why Hunza backs it with a 10 year warranty.
Will the copper finish change colour over time?
Yes, this is normal. Copper left outdoors will darken and develop a patina rather than staying bright, and Hunza's own finish guide notes this is expected rather than a defect.
Can I adjust the direction of the light after it is fitted?
No. The eyelid hood is fixed in position and always throws light down and forward across the step or path, it is not an aimable fitting.
Do I need a transformer for this fitting?
Yes. This is the low voltage version, so it needs a Hunza buriable transformer and an approved MR16 LED lamp, both sold separately.
