Nowodvorski EYE is a family of tube spotlights built around one simple shape: a slim painted-steel cylinder with a GU10 bulb inside. The same tube turns up as a single surface spotlight, a pendant, a wall light, a floor lamp, a bar of several heads and a multi-head ceiling light, so you can light a whole flat in one consistent style. The series is made in Poland by Nowodvorski.
The EYE variants
-
EYE S, M and L – single surface-mounted spotlights and pendants in three sizes; the tube is about 5.5 cm across on the slimmer versions.
-
EYE TONE – surface spots with one to three heads, including a black-and-gold version.
-
EYE SPOT – several tubes on one straight bar, handy over a corridor or a kitchen run.
-
EYE SUPER – multi-head ceiling, wall and floor lights with the tubes grouped in sections; the six-head ceiling version spreads from about 60 to 192 cm.
-
EYE WALL and WALL CUT – compact wall lights; EYE FLEX – wall and floor lamps with a switch and a plug.

The main finishes are white (RAL 9003), black (RAL 9005) and brass, with graphite, silver and black-and-gold versions on some models, which lets the tubes either vanish against the ceiling or stand out as a design feature.
Bulbs, installation and care
EYE lights take a replaceable GU10 R50 bulb, which is not included. A 4–6 W GU10 LED in 2700–3000 K suits living spaces; a narrow beam picks out a picture, a wide one washes a wall. Ceiling and wall models are wired to 230 V by a qualified electrician; the FLEX lamps simply plug in. The series is intended for indoor use. Dust the tubes with a dry cloth and switch off before changing a bulb – on EYE FLEX the tube slides back so the bulb can be swapped in one move.
FAQ
Do EYE lights have built-in LED?
No. They use GU10 bulbs, so you choose the brightness, colour temperature and beam angle yourself and can replace the bulb at any time.
What is the difference between EYE SPOT and EYE SUPER?
EYE SPOT lines the tubes up on a straight bar. EYE SUPER groups several tubes in sections on a ceiling, wall or floor fitting, which gives more light from one point.
Can EYE spotlights be dimmed?
Yes, with dimmable GU10 LED bulbs and a dimmer that suits them.
