Overview

The FARO RUSH 800 beacon is an outdoor lamp designed to be installed directly in the ground. It is a clear option for those who want to illuminate a garden, a park, or any outdoor area without complications. The lamp works with an integrated COB LED and offers a 180-degree asymmetric light distribution, which allows directing the lighting exactly where it is needed.

The body is made of aluminum combined with transparent polycarbonate. That combination guarantees lightness and resistance at the same time. The IP65 protection means that rainwater is not a problem, and the IK10 impact resistance ensures that the lamp withstands blows without deteriorating. It is a beacon designed for continuous outdoor use under variable conditions.

FARO is a brand with years of experience in lighting solutions for homes and public spaces. Its products combine functionality with careful design, and the RUSH 800 collection reflects that philosophy: without unnecessary elements, with materials that last.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lamp, make sure that the electrical connection point in the ground is prepared for outdoor use and complies with local regulations. As it is a ground-mounted luminaire, it is recommended that the installation be carried out by an electrician. The beacon operates at 220V-240V, so no additional transformers are required in standard European installations. Verify that the wiring is protected and not exposed to the elements.

To keep the lamp in good condition, clean the aluminum body with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products that could damage the dark gray finish. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser can be cleaned in the same way. Do not submerge the lamp in water or use pressure jets directly on the seals. Periodically check that there is no accumulation of dirt around the base that could affect ventilation.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 is a ground beacon that is part of a technical outdoor lighting collection. Its height of 800 mm makes it a visible luminaire without being intrusive. The silhouette is clean and geometric, with a square section of 160 mm that integrates well in both natural environments and more structured spaces, such as a terrace or a patio.

The aluminum body gives it solidity without adding excessive weight. Aluminum is a material that resists temperature changes well and does not oxidize easily, making it a logical choice for an outdoor lamp that will be exposed to sun, cold, and rain for extended periods. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to come out without distortion, maintaining the actual color temperature of 4000K, which corresponds to a neutral white light, balanced between warmth and coolness.

The 180-degree asymmetric lighting option is useful when you want to project light to one side instead of distributing it in a circular manner. This allows it to be used, for example, alongside a path or aligned with a façade, concentrating the light where it is really needed. It is a technical detail that makes a difference in installations where control of the light direction matters.

The DALI version of this lamp allows it to be integrated into lighting control systems. That means that if you already have a smart control system at home or in the garden, this beacon can be part of it without the need for intermediate solutions. Intensity regulation through DALI is precise and stable.

With 20W of power and COB LED technology, consumption is moderate for the level of illumination it offers. The COB LED concentrates multiple diodes in a reduced area, producing uniform light without visible hot spots. At 4000K, the light is suitable for outdoor spaces where clarity is sought without the harshness of cool white, and without the excessive warmth of yellow. It is a middle point that works well both for passageways and for areas where a defined atmosphere is desired.

The IK10 resistance rating is the highest category in protection against mechanical impacts. This means the lamp can receive accidental blows without the body or diffuser breaking. Together with the IP65 rating, which protects against dust and water jets, this beacon is prepared for demanding outdoor use conditions. There is no need to worry about rain or accidental contact with garden tools or equipment.

The dark gray finish is discreet and easily adapts to different environments: stone paths, gardens with dense vegetation, paved accesses, or more modern installations with clean lines. It does not draw excessive attention during the day, and when switched on it fulfills its function without artifice. It is an outdoor lamp that works in the background, without unnecessary prominence.

Questions and answers

What does the 180-degree option on this beacon mean and how does it affect light distribution?

The 180-degree asymmetric distribution concentrates light toward one side instead of spreading it in all directions. This is useful when the lamp is placed alongside a path or near a wall, allowing the light to be directed where it is needed and avoiding waste toward areas that do not require illumination.

Is this lamp compatible with already installed DALI control systems?

Yes, the RUSH 800 version described here has DALI compatibility, which allows it to be integrated directly into lighting control installations that use that protocol, without the need for additional adapters.

Is the IP65 rating sufficient for areas with frequent rain or sprinkler irrigation?

IP65 protects against water jets from any direction, so it is suitable for areas exposed to direct rain or sprinkler irrigation. It is not designed for immersion, but for use in gardens or outdoor spaces with typical weather conditions, this protection is more than sufficient.
