Overview

The RUSH 800 beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate pathways, gardens and parks with precision and durability. It is installed directly in the ground and provides upward or angled lighting, depending on the version chosen. The asymmetric 180-degree distribution option allows light to be directed exactly where it is needed, without wasting flux towards areas that do not require illumination.

The lamp body combines aluminium and polycarbonate, two materials that complement each other well under outdoor use conditions. The IK10 impact resistance rating means it withstands considerable impacts without being damaged, which is relevant in transit spaces or public areas. The IP65 rating guarantees complete protection against dust and water jets, so rain or garden irrigation is not a problem.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in residential, commercial and urban lighting. Its products combine technical functionality with careful finishes, designed to integrate into different environments without being intrusive.

Installation and specifications

For installation, it is necessary to prepare the anchor point in the ground before placing the lamp. As it is a surface luminaire with ground fixing, it is recommended to have an electrician carry out the connection to the 220V–240V electrical mains. It is advisable to verify that the underground wiring is correctly protected and that the installation point does not permanently accumulate water, although the IP65 level offers sufficient protection against rain and normal splashing.

For surface maintenance, simply clean the body with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive products that may scratch the polycarbonate diffuser. Do not disassemble the lamp with the power connected. The transparent diffuser may accumulate dust over time; periodic cleaning helps maintain the quality of the illumination.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 has a height of 800 mm, which places it at a distance from the ground sufficient to effectively illuminate a path or a garden area without being excessively prominent. It does not visually compete with vegetation or other elements in the surroundings; rather, it integrates into them. The dark grey finish favours that discretion, especially in gardens with stone, wood or gravel paving.

The aluminium body provides structural solidity without adding unnecessary weight. It is a material that performs well against the temperature changes typical of outdoor use: it does not deform in summer heat nor become brittle in winter cold. The polycarbonate, both in the body and in the diffuser, reinforces overall mechanical resistance. The IK10 rating means the beacon can receive an impact of 20 joules without sustaining damage, making it suitable for environments with frequent pedestrian traffic or areas where accidental contact may occur.

The diffuser is transparent, which allows the light source to be seen directly and produces a clean visual effect at night. The COB LED technology incorporated in this lamp concentrates several diodes in a single area, producing more uniform light with greater intensity per square centimetre than conventional LED formats. The colour temperature of 2700K translates into warm light, comparable to that of a traditional incandescent bulb. This tone is especially pleasant in residential outdoor spaces, as it is not harsh and does not create the cold sensation generated by lights with a higher colour temperature.

The DALI version of this lamp allows it to be integrated into professional lighting control systems, opening up the possibility of adjusting light intensity from a centralised system. This is useful both in private garden installations and in larger-scale projects, such as parks or building entrances. DALI compatibility makes this beacon a dimmable option within more technically demanding environments.

In a domestic garden, the RUSH 800 works well aligned along a pathway, marking the route from the entrance to the door or terrace. It can also be used to highlight specific areas of vegetation, directing the asymmetric 180-degree light towards a tree, a hedge or a flower bed. In a park or public space, its resistance and protection level make it suitable for continuous use without frequent maintenance.

The lantern that defines this collection is technical in its conception but discreet in its form. There are no ornamental details or references to specific decorative styles; it simply fulfils its function effectively and makes itself seen without imposing itself. This makes it easy to combine with different types of outdoor furniture, paving and garden styles. It works equally well next to a modern patio as in a more classic garden with a traditional style lantern.

Questions and answers

What does the DALI version of this beacon mean and for what type of installation is it useful?

The DALI version allows the lamp to be connected to a professional lighting control system that regulates intensity in a centralised manner. It is especially useful in installations where multiple lights need to be managed from a single point, such as large gardens, building entrances or parks.

What level of protection does the lamp offer against rain and physical impacts?

This lamp has an IP65 rating, which guarantees complete protection against dust and direct water jets. In addition, it has IK10 impact resistance, meaning it can absorb impacts of up to 20 joules without damaging its structure or operation.

Does the asymmetric 180-degree lighting option affect the installation or only the light distribution?

It affects only the distribution of the luminous flux. Installation is carried out in the same way as the standard version. The difference is that the light is projected in a single semicircle instead of being distributed in all directions, which allows the beam to be directed towards a specific area of the garden or pathway.
