Using Helvetica Neue Light - Html5 IOS app

I'm having problems using helvetica-neue Light within a HTML5 IOS app. I'm defining it in my CSS as -

font-family: "HelveticaNeue-Light", "Helvetica Neue Light";

But it refuses to play ball - does it need to be defined differently? "Helvetica Neue" works fine - so its very confusing.

According to IOS fonts it is available for IOS 5 and above (http://iosfonts.com/)

Any advice?
