What is the technical difference between Hunza PURE LED and GU10?

PURE LED features integrated LED chips for maximum efficiency, while the GU10 range offers flexibility with replaceable bulbs like the Philips CorePro LEDspot for 240V mains installation.

Are Hunza lights suitable for the UK climate?

Yes. Most Hunza fixtures carry an IP66 rating, meaning they are dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. They also feature a 10-year warranty on Stainless Steel and Copper bodies.

Hunza Lighting: Premium Outdoor & Garden Lights

We love New Zealand's Hunza Lighting, and we're not alone. Many garden designers and landscape professionals will specify nothing else. There are lots of reasons why. Hunza's form-is-function design aesthetic means its lights never date. The Hunza Lighting range includes a lighting solution for almost every outdoor location. Hunza lights come in marine grade 316L stainless steel, solid natural copper and Black or Bronze (dark brown) Eco-matt colours, and in low-voltage PURE LED, 12 volt LED or 230 volt GU10 LED versions. But perhaps above all it's the long-lasting reliability that comes with precision engineering, hand-assembly and the use of only the highest quality tried-and-tested materials and lighting technologies.

Why Professionals Choose Hunza Lighting

When it comes to high-end outdoor illumination, Hunza Lighting is widely considered the gold standard for both garden designers and architects. Hand-assembled in New Zealand, every fixture is built with a "form-is-function" philosophy, ensuring that the lights are as durable as they are aesthetically discreet. At Peter Reid Lighting, we recommend Hunza for clients who want a long lasting fit and forget solution that can withstand the rigours of the unpredictable UK climate.

Marine-Grade Materials and Engineering

The longevity of a Hunza light lies in its construction. Most fixtures are available in three primary high-performance finishes:

316L Marine-Grade Stainless Steel: The ultimate choice for coastal properties, offering unparalleled resistance to salt spray and corrosion.
Solid Natural Copper: This material develops a beautiful organic patina over time, blending seamlessly into planted borders and wooded areas.
Eco-Matt Powder Coat: For a modern architectural look, these aluminium fixtures are finished with high-durability UV-stable coatings.

Technical Superiority: PURE LED vs. GU10

Understanding the technical options is key to a successful lighting design. Hunza offers two distinct lighting technologies to suit different installation requirements:

PURE LED (Integrated): These fixtures feature high-output, integrated LED chips engineered for maximum heat management and energy efficiency. They are the preferred choice for permanent installations where performance is the priority.
GU10 (Retrofit): The GU10 range provides maximum flexibility, allowing you to choose your own LED bulbs (such as the Philips CorePro LEDspot) to customise wattage and colour temperature. This is also the 240V mains-voltage solution for easy UK installation without external transformers.

Built for the Elements

The majority of the Hunza range carries an IP66 rating, meaning the fixtures are completely dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets. Coupled with a 10-year warranty on Stainless Steel and Copper bodies, Hunza represents a true investment in your home’s exterior. Whether you are highlighting a specimen tree with a spike spot or providing safe passage with a 316L bollard, Hunza Lighting delivers precision-engineered performance that lasts a lifetime.
