AJ Eklipta was designed for the City Hall in Rødovre, Denmark. It was used indoors for staircases and outdoors as a wall fixture. Eklipta was produced in two sizes. When Arne Jacobsen used the fixtures for staircases, he always preferred the largest version. As a true functionalistic master, Arne Jacobsen created AJ Eklipta in a time period when Danish design had an exceptional quality to it, and today this fixture is still used in all kinds of architectural environments worldwide.

The fixture emits soft comfortable light. The glass is designed to provide a uniformly lit surface. The three-layer handblown opal glass shade has a transparent edge, producing a decorative halo of light around the fixture.
