Overview

The LILY 1190 beacon by Faro is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate gardens, pathways and green areas with a clean, visually restrained result. Its height of nearly 1.2 metres allows it to be placed directly on the ground, where it acts as a marker light without taking up space on walls or structures. The stainless steel frame with a black finish almost disappears in the dark, creating the sensation that the vegetation is illuminated on its own, with no visible light source.

It is an option for those seeking outdoor lighting with an architectural design: no unnecessary decorative elements, no excessive volume. The warm light at 2700K creates a calm atmosphere that does not interfere with the natural surroundings.

Faro is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Its outdoor products combine durable materials with a careful finish, designed for residential installations and landscaping projects.

Installation and specifications

This beacon operates at 24V DC, so it requires a compatible external transformer before installation. It is advisable to plan the cable routing in advance, leaving enough length to reach from the power supply point to the final position of the lamp. Fixing to the ground depends on the type of surface: in soil, anchoring the base is sufficient; on hard surfaces such as compacted gravel or paving, it may be necessary to prepare a prior anchor. It is recommended that electrical installation be carried out by a professional, especially outdoors where moisture and water are present.

The IP65 rating protects the lamp against rain and dust, but it is not designed to be submerged. The body can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a neutral detergent. The transparent glass diffuser can be gently cleaned to maintain light clarity. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the black steel finish.

Design and use

The LILY 1190 is an outdoor lamp with a clear proposition: to be present without drawing attention. The narrow body in black stainless steel, with a depth of just 85 mm and a length of 292 mm, takes up very little visual space during the day. At nightfall, the dark structure blends into the surroundings and what remains is the light projected onto the vegetation, the ground or the edge of a path.

This beacon does not aim to be an ornamental lantern or a piece that stands out on its own. Its value lies in what it does with the space around it. Placed next to shrubs or medium-height plants, it illuminates the foliage from below with a warm light at 2700K that does not distort natural colours. The transparent glass diffuser lets light through without filtering or dispersing it excessively, allowing more precise control over where the beam falls.

The integrated COB LED consumes only 3W, making it an efficient option for installations with several lights spread across a garden or patio. Operating at 24V DC, it can be integrated into low-voltage lighting systems, common in garden projects where different light points are combined. It is the type of solution that adapts well to both private residential gardens and shared areas of communities or carefully designed outdoor spaces.

The black finish gives it a modern, restrained character that combines with materials such as natural stone, dark wood, concrete or metal. In gardens with large-leafed plants, the contrast between the lamp's slim structure and the dense vegetation is particularly clean. On straight paths, several beacons placed at regular intervals create an ordered line of lighting that guides the way without excessive light.

The IP65 protection ensures that the lamp functions correctly in conditions of rain, wind and humidity. It does not need to be stored away in winter or protected against the usual temperature changes in mainland climates. It is a lamp designed to stay in place and function without intervention for a long time.

For those looking to integrate lighting into the garden without installing large lanterns or luminaires that compete visually with the greenery, this beacon offers a balance between functional presence and aesthetic discretion. There is no motion sensor or rechargeable function, making it a fixed, stable solution that requires no frequent maintenance.

Questions and answers

Does this beacon require an external transformer or does it work directly with the domestic electrical mains?

The LILY 1190 lamp operates at 24V DC, so it cannot be connected directly to the 230V mains. It is necessary to install a compatible external transformer for that voltage before connecting the beacon.

Is the IP65 rating sufficient for climates with frequent rain or coastal areas with high humidity?

IP65 protects the lamp against water jets from any direction and against the ingress of dust. It is suitable for direct rain and humid environments, although it is not designed to be submerged or in prolonged contact with standing water.

Is the COB LED light source already included inside the lamp or does it need to be purchased separately?

Yes, the COB LED light source is included. There is no need to purchase any additional module: the beacon arrives ready to connect once the transformer and corresponding wiring are available.
