Overview

The FARO RUSH 800 beacon is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate paths, gardens and parks uniformly and durably. It is installed directly in the ground and provides light in all directions thanks to its 360º option, or at greater distances with the wide variant. It is a practical solution for those who want stable outdoor lighting without relying on complex installations.

The aluminum body combined with transparent polycarbonate makes this lamp well suited to outdoor conditions. IP65 protection shields it against rain and dust ingress, and IK10 impact resistance means it withstands knocks without damage. This is not a fragile decorative lamp: it is built to remain outdoors for years without losing functionality.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in technical lighting. Its products combine structural solidity with a design intended to integrate into different environments, both residential and public.

Installation and specifications

Before installing this beacon in the ground, make sure the electrical wiring is protected and runs through a conduit suitable for outdoor use. As a ground-mounted luminaire for gardens or walkways, it is advisable to plan the cable route before securing the base. Installation by a qualified electrician is recommended, especially in areas where the ground may retain moisture.

For maintenance, clean the body surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the dark grey finish or the polycarbonate diffuser. Although the lamp is protected against rain, it is not advisable to submerge it or expose it to direct pressurised water jets.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 is a beacon designed for outdoor use, within FARO's technical lighting collection. Its structure combines aluminium and polycarbonate, two materials that complement each other well in environments where durability matters. The aluminium provides rigidity to the body, while the transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to pass through clearly without adding fragility.

At 800 mm in height with a 160 x 160 mm base, this lamp has a balanced proportion. It is not so tall as to be intrusive, nor so low as to go unnoticed on a path or garden entrance. The dark grey finish gives it a understated appearance that fits well in both modern environments and more natural spaces, without drawing too much attention during the day while fulfilling its function at night.

The 20 W COB LED light source emits a colour temperature of 2700K, which corresponds to warm light. This type of lighting is pleasant for walkways and outdoor rest areas, as it does not create the cold, harsh sensation that a whiter light can produce. In a garden or at the entrance to a home, warm lights create a more welcoming atmosphere without sacrificing functionality.

The 360º version distributes light symmetrically around the beacon, making it especially useful when installed in the centre of a path or in an open space where illumination is needed in all directions. The wide variant, on the other hand, projects light over a greater distance, which may be more suitable for illuminating long strips of ground or wider access areas. The DALI version allows this lamp to be integrated into more advanced lighting control systems, although its simple installation also makes it suitable for domestic use without the need for automation.

IP65 protection ensures that rainwater does not enter the interior of the lamp. This is essential in any outdoor installation, especially in climates where rain is frequent. The IK10 impact resistance rating adds an additional layer of security: if the beacon receives an accidental knock, the body does not break easily. These certifications are not decorative; they indicate that the lamp has been tested under real-world conditions of use.

In terms of combinations, this beacon works well alongside other outdoor lights with the same finish or in neutral tones. In a garden, it can be complemented with wall lanterns or ground-mounted spotlights. In a park or communal area, several beacons placed at regular intervals create uniform path lighting with no dark spots.

Questions and answers

Does the RUSH 800 beacon withstand heavy rain or only light drizzle?

It has IP65 certification, which means it is protected against water projected from any direction. It withstands typical outdoor rain perfectly, although it is not designed to be submerged in water.

What is the difference between the 360º option and the wide variant of this lamp?

The 360º option distributes light symmetrically around the beacon, ideal for open spaces or the centre of paths. The wide variant projects light over a greater distance, which is more suitable for illuminating long strips of ground or wide access areas.

What does it mean that this lamp is a DALI version?

DALI is a lighting control protocol that allows the lamp's intensity to be regulated from a centralised system. This provides flexibility to adjust the light level according to the time of day or the needs of the space, provided a compatible installation is available.
