Overview

The CLAP 1266 beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate pathways, entrances and garden areas where light serves both a practical and visual function. Its slim profile structure means the lamp goes almost unnoticed during the day, letting light define the space at nightfall. It is a valid option for those who want to create characterful outdoor environments without resorting to striking decorative elements.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in indoor and outdoor lighting. Their products combine functionality and aesthetic judgement, and the CLAP range is a good example of this: a cohesive system of outdoor luminaires that allows different elements to be mixed within a common aesthetic.

Installation and specifications

For installation, this lamp is fixed directly to the ground. As it operates at 24VDC, it is essential to have a suitable external power supply for low voltage. It is recommended that the electrical installation be carried out by a professional, especially in outdoor environments where moisture can affect connections. Before placing the beacon, it is advisable to plan the cable routing so that it remains hidden or protected. Check that the anchor point in the ground is stable and level.

For maintenance, simply clean the lamp surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the black aluminium finish. Periodically check the outdoor connections to ensure there is no water ingress or cable deterioration.

Design and use

The CLAP 1266 beacon is part of an outdoor lighting system developed by FARO that groups different types of luminaires under a single aesthetic line. Within this family, spikes, wall lights, pendants and spotlights coexist, all sharing a coherent visual language. This allows a garden or outdoor entrance to be designed with different light points without the result looking improvised.

This particular lamp is installed in the ground and is oriented towards indirect or accent lighting. Its shade directs light at a 38° angle, allowing it to be concentrated on specific areas: the edge of a path, a flower bed, the base of a tree or the boundary of a terrace. The result is a scenic effect that defines the space without needing to illuminate everything uniformly. In a garden, this type of light creates areas with their own character and gives the night-time route a clear visual reading.

The colour temperature of 3000K places this beacon in the warm light range, similar to that of traditional incandescent lighting. This tone is favourable in natural settings: it enhances the green tones of vegetation, the texture of stone or wood, and creates a welcoming atmosphere that invites spending time outdoors. It is the type of light that works well in a courtyard, at a home entrance or along the perimeter of a rest area.

The lamp body is made of aluminium and stainless steel with a black finish. These are materials designed to withstand continuous outdoor exposure: they resist moisture, temperature changes and the passage of time without deteriorating easily. The black colour allows the beacon to blend well into dark environments or those with dense vegetation, where a silver or light-coloured metal element would be more visible than desirable.

The COB LED light source is included and operates at 24VDC low voltage. This detail is relevant because it implies greater safety in outdoor installations, especially in areas where accidental contact with water may occur. LED technology ensures low energy consumption and a long service life, reducing the need to replace the light source frequently.

If glare is a concern, the beacon is compatible with the anti-glare visor reference 75714-2, which can be added to improve visual comfort. This is especially useful when lights are at eye level or in areas of frequent passage, such as pathways or entrances where people walk close to the luminaires.

Questions and answers

Does the CLAP 1266 beacon include the 24VDC power supply required for its operation?

No, the lamp operates at 24VDC but the power supply is not included. A suitable external transformer for low voltage must be available before proceeding with the installation.

Is the 38° angle of this beacon fixed or can it be adjusted according to the desired orientation?

The 38° beam angle is fixed and corresponds to the light beam spread. To direct the illumination towards a specific area, the position and orientation of the lamp must be taken into account during installation.

Is it possible to combine this beacon with other luminaires from the CLAP range in the same garden?

Yes. The CLAP range from FARO includes different types of luminaires — spikes, wall lights, spotlights and pendants — that share the same aesthetic. They can be combined in the same outdoor space to create cohesive lighting with different lighting effects.
