Overview

The FARO GIZA 265 lamp is a surface outdoor luminaire designed to be mounted directly on a wall. It works well on terraces, gardens, and exterior entrances where stable, neat-looking lighting is needed. It does not require complex installations: it is fixed to the wall and connected to the conventional electrical network.

What sets this lantern apart from the rest is the combination of COB LED technology with an integrated light pollution control kit. This means the light is directed where it is needed, without dispersing upward or disturbing the surroundings. For a garden or terrace, this translates into a more comfortable and controlled atmosphere.

FARO is a Spanish company with years of experience in indoor and outdoor lighting. Their products are designed for real installations, with materials that withstand use and typical weather conditions.

Installation and specifications

To install this lamp, it is necessary to have a recessed wall box or to plan the cable routing from the wall. The fixing is of the wall-mounted type, so it is screwed directly onto the vertical surface. It is recommended that the installation be carried out by an electrician, especially if there is no wiring prepared at the chosen point. The driver is included, so no additional components need to be purchased to get it up and running.

The aluminum body requires no special maintenance. To clean the lamp, a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild detergent are sufficient. Do not use abrasive products or solvents on the polycarbonate diffuser, as they can damage the surface. Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning or handling the equipment.

Design and use

The GIZA 265 lamp has a body made of injected aluminum with a dark grey finish. It is a resistant material that does not deform under heat and does not deteriorate easily from exposure to the outdoors. The opal polycarbonate diffuser distributes light evenly, without creating bright spots or sharp shadows. The result is soft, continuous lighting that covers the area near the mounting point well.

The 15W COB LED light source generates a flux of 500 lumens with a color temperature of 3000K. That warm temperature is the one that works best in residential outdoor settings: it does not feel cold or clinical, but rather close to the tone of indoor light. A lantern with this type of integrated lighting blends the outdoor space well with the rest of the home environment, especially at dusk.

The light pollution control kit is one of the most concrete and useful aspects of this series. The light is emitted in the required direction without polluting the sky or disturbing neighbors. In areas with specific regulations on light pollution, this detail can be decisive for complying with local requirements.

This luminaire is part of the GIZA series, which also includes a wall light and a bollard. Using different elements from the same series makes it possible to maintain a coherent appearance throughout the garden or terrace. A bollard on the ground along the path, a wall light on the facade, and this wall-mounted unit on the side wall can compose a complete and visually orderly exterior lighting scheme.

The square design of 120 x 120 mm and the height of 265 mm make it a compact lamp, suitable for walls where there is not much space or where too large a visual presence is not desired. The dark grey finish combines well with stone, concrete, dark wood, or matte ceramic facades. It also fits in more modern environments where the exterior follows a clean line without excessive decorative elements.

For a garden with abundant vegetation, this lamp provides spot lighting that helps with orientation without being intrusive. On a terrace, it can be installed at eye level to create a pleasant atmosphere during nighttime hours of use. In an interior courtyard with little natural light, this type of luminaire can function as the main source of decorative lighting.

Compatibility with voltages between 100V and 240V makes it suitable for installations in different countries without the need for adapters. The included driver simplifies the start-up process, as there is no need to search for or purchase a compatible external unit.

Questions and answers

Does the GIZA 265 lamp include the power supply or does it need to be purchased separately?

The driver is included in the product. No additional components need to be purchased for it to function.

What advantage does the light pollution control kit provide in a domestic outdoor setting?

It allows the light to be directed where it is needed, preventing it from dispersing upward or to the sides. This improves visual comfort and can be useful in areas with restrictions on light pollution.

Is the color temperature of 3000K suitable for lighting a garden or terrace?

Yes. 3000K corresponds to warm light, similar to indoor lighting. In residential outdoor settings such as gardens or terraces, that tone creates a pleasant atmosphere without feeling too cold or intense.
