Overview

The FARO RUSH 800 bollard is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate gardens, parks and exterior access areas. It is installed directly in the ground and projects light upwards, marking pathways or highlighting specific areas of an open-air space. It is intended for those looking for functional and long-lasting lighting without maintenance complications.

This lamp combines aluminium and polycarbonate in its construction, making it resistant to both impacts and common weather conditions. With an IP65 rating, it tolerates rain and the presence of dust without affecting its performance. The IK10 impact resistance rating makes it a solid option for outdoor areas with frequent foot traffic.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Its products combine precise technical criteria with a design intended to integrate well into different environments, both residential and public.

Installation and specifications

Preparation and installation. This bollard is fixed in the ground, so before installing it, it is advisable to plan the underground wiring route. It is recommended to have an electrician for the connection, especially when working with recessed outdoor installations. Check that the installation point has stable ground and that the wiring is protected with appropriate conduits for outdoor use. The lamp accepts voltages between 100V and 240V, making it compatible with the standard electrical network.

Use and maintenance. To clean the surface, a damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid abrasive products that could damage the dark grey finish of the body or the transparent diffuser. Do not disassemble the lamp while it is connected to the mains. Although its IP65 protection tolerates rain, it is not advisable to submerge it or expose it to direct pressurised water jets.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 bollard has a height of 800 mm, which allows it to be visible from a certain distance without being intrusive in the space. Its silhouette is vertical and compact, with a square section of 160 mm that gives it visual and physical stability. The dark grey body integrates well with stone, gravel, treated wood or any other common material used in gardens and residential outdoor areas.

The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows the interior light source to be seen and enables light to be projected clearly. The 360° variant distributes illumination symmetrically around the bollard, which is useful when placed in the centre of a pathway or at a reference point within the garden. The wide option, on the other hand, allows the light to reach a greater lateral distance, which is convenient for illuminating larger areas from a single point.

The included COB LED light source operates at 2700K, a warm colour temperature that does not produce the cold or clinical effect found in some outdoor lights. In a garden or patio, that warmth makes the surroundings feel more welcoming after dark. The 20W power output is sufficient to fulfil its function without high energy consumption.

The aluminium body provides rigidity and resistance without adding excessive weight. The polycarbonate diffuser, unlike glass, does not break easily upon impact, which is an advantage in spaces where people, children or even garden machinery may pass. The IK10 rating is the highest level of protection against mechanical impacts, giving an idea of the overall sturdiness of the unit.

This outdoor lamp fits well in private gardens with defined pathways, at the entrance of a home or in common areas of residential communities. It is also suitable for parks or public spaces where a discreet but functional lantern is needed. If the project requires several light points along a route, the RUSH 800 collection allows a uniform line of bollards to be created with the same aesthetic and the same type of lighting.

Regarding its combination with other elements, the dark grey finish is neutral and does not compete visually with vegetation, stone or wood. It works well alongside other outdoor lights such as ground spotlights or wall luminaires, provided that a similar colour temperature is maintained so that the result is coherent. It is not a decorative piece in the strict sense, although its clean shape and careful finish make it pleasant to look at even during the day.

The voltage range of 100V to 240V makes this lamp compatible with electrical installations in different countries, simplifying its use if installed in projects outside the standard European market. The LED light source is already included, so there is no need to purchase it separately.

Questions and answers

Does the RUSH 800 bollard withstand rain and outdoor humidity?

Yes. It has IP65 protection, which means it is sealed against dust and resists water projected from any direction. It is suitable for permanent installation in outdoor areas exposed to rain.

What is the difference between the 360° option and the wide variant in this lamp?

The 360° option distributes illumination symmetrically around the bollard, ideal for central points along a pathway. The wide variant disperses light over a greater lateral distance, which is more effective for illuminating large surfaces from a single lantern.

Is the LED light source included or does it need to be purchased separately?

The COB LED light source is included. No additional components need to be purchased for the lamp to function from the moment of installation.
