Overview

The SCREEN beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate pathways, entrances, gardens, and landscaped areas for public or private use. It is installed directly in the ground and provides a light distribution that guides without glaring. The 180° option allows asymmetric orientation of the lighting, useful when you need to project light toward a specific side rather than dispersing it in all directions.

The body is made of aluminum and transparent polycarbonate, materials that combine durability with a clean, discreet appearance. The dark grey finish integrates easily into natural or paved environments. It features IP65 protection, meaning rain and dust are not an issue, and an IK10 impact resistance rating, the highest in its category.

FARO is a Spanish brand specializing in technical and decorative lighting. It has been developing products for indoor and outdoor use for decades, with attention to both luminous performance and durability under real-world conditions.

Installation and specifications

To install this lamp in the ground, it is necessary to prepare the underground wiring in advance with suitable outdoor protection. Fixing is done from the base of the bollard, following the manufacturer's instructions included in the packaging. It is recommended that the electrical installation be carried out by a qualified professional, especially in areas with risk of moisture or direct exposure to rain.

To keep the exterior of the beacon in good condition, simply clean it periodically with a damp cloth and neutral soap. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the aluminum surface or the PC diffuser. Do not submerge the luminaire or direct pressurized water jets directly onto the seals or base.

Design and use

The SCREEN collection is designed for technical outdoor use, meaning functionality takes priority without sacrificing a tidy and restrained design. The lamp has a height of 800 mm and a square cross-section of 160 mm, making it proportionate for both private gardens and building entrances or parks. The bollard does not draw excessive attention during the day, but fulfills its function clearly when night falls.

The aluminum body provides solidity without adding unnecessary weight. This material withstands temperature changes and prolonged exposure to sun, rain, or wind. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to exit with minimal loss, making good use of the 20W from the included COB LED source. This type of LED concentrates emission at a point and delivers powerful, uniform illumination, with a color temperature of 2700K that produces warm light, similar to candlelight, ideal for outdoor environments where visual comfort is sought rather than technical brightness.

The IP65 protection ensures that the beacon can be exposed to rain without risk to its operation or safety. The IK10 rating indicates that the body withstands impacts of up to 20 joules, making it suitable for walkways or places where accidental contact with the luminaire may occur.

The 180° distribution option is especially useful in situations where light must be projected in a specific direction: toward a side path, a façade, or a landscaped area without illuminating the opposite side. This allows for more controlled and efficient lighting in environments where symmetry is not necessary.

In terms of use environments, this lamp fits well in single-family home gardens, garage entrances, internal pathways in residential developments, terrace edges, or paved patios. It is also a valid option for lighting projects in public parks or common areas of residential communities, where durability is valued above all else.

The dark grey finish does not stand out excessively and adapts to different ground materials: stone, concrete, treated wood, or gravel. It does not create a striking contrast and is perceived as part of the environment rather than as an independent decorative element. For those seeking lights that follow a sober and orderly line outdoors, this beacon fulfills that function without complications.

Compatibility with voltages between 100V and 240V means the lamp can be used in different countries without the need for voltage adapters, which is practical for projects involving installation in multiple locations.

Questions and answers

Can the SCREEN beacon be installed in areas with frequent rain or high humidity?

Yes. The lamp has IP65 certification, which guarantees complete protection against dust and against water jets from any direction. It is suitable for outdoor use with direct exposure to rain.

What advantage does the 180° lighting option offer compared to a standard distribution?

The asymmetric 180° distribution allows all the light to be directed toward a specific side. It is useful when you want to illuminate a path or surface without the light dispersing toward the opposite side, which improves efficiency and avoids unnecessary glare.

Does the transparent polycarbonate diffuser scratch or yellow over time when exposed to the sun?

The polycarbonate used in this beacon is selected for technical outdoor use. To maintain its appearance, periodic cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient, avoiding abrasive products that may deteriorate the surface.
