Overview

The SCREEN beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to mark pathways, illuminate gardens, and structure open-air spaces. It is installed directly in the ground and projects light upward, defining the space without the need for additional elements. It is a practical option for those who want to bring visual order to a garden or exterior access without complicating the installation.

The collection is made from aluminium and polycarbonate, making it resistant to continuous use in variable conditions. It features IP65 protection and IK10 impact resistance, so it withstands both rain and occasional physical contact. The 360º angle version distributes light symmetrically, while the wide variant projects the beam over a greater distance.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in residential and project lighting. Its products combine durability with aesthetic sensibility, and this beacon is a good example of that combination.

Installation and specifications

Preparation and installation. This lamp is fixed to the ground, so it is advisable to plan the cable routing before installing it. The working voltage is 220V-240V, which corresponds to the standard electrical grid. If the cabling passes through areas with moisture or underground, it is recommended to use appropriate protective conduits. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially in outdoor settings.

Use and maintenance. The dark grey body can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the aluminium or polycarbonate finish. Periodically check that the seals and closures maintain their integrity in order to preserve the IP65 protection.

Design and use

The SCREEN beacon has a discreet yet functional presence. Its elongated 800 mm body and its square 160 mm base allow it to be integrated into kerbs, access paths, or landscaped areas without appearing intrusive. The dark grey finish gives it a sober look that adapts to both modern settings and more traditional gardens.

The aluminium body provides structural stability and withstands the temperature changes that are common outdoors. The polycarbonate diffuser, for its part, allows light to pass through cleanly without yellowing over time, something that often happens with lower-quality materials. Together, these two materials keep the lamp looking good for years without any special intervention.

The integrated COB LED light source operates at 2700K, a warm colour temperature that is reminiscent of a classic street lamp. This tone is pleasant in gardens because it does not create the cold, clinical effect that some outdoor lights have. At 20W, the power is sufficient to illuminate the immediate surroundings without being excessive for residential use.

The 360º option is particularly useful when the beacon is placed in the centre of a pathway or surrounded by vegetation, as it distributes the illumination evenly in all directions. The wide variant, on the other hand, concentrates the beam so that it reaches further, which can be interesting for long access paths or areas where visibility over a distance needs to be enhanced.

The CASAMBI version allows this lamp to be integrated into wireless lighting control systems. This means it can be controlled from an app without the need to install additional switches or modify the existing wiring. For those who already use home automation systems, this option makes it easier to incorporate the outdoor area into the same control network.

Regarding installation, the beacon is compatible with damp environments thanks to its IP65 protection, making it suitable for areas near fountains, pergolas, or pool edges. The IK10 resistance adds peace of mind in spaces with pedestrian traffic, where accidental impacts are more likely.

It is a lantern that works well both as a functional lighting element and as part of a broader composition. Combining several beacons along a pathway creates a sequence of lights that gives visual coherence to the garden and aids night-time orientation without the need for more complex installations.

The SCREEN collection is designed for outdoor use with real demands, not just aesthetic ones. The combination of materials, protections, and emission options makes it a solution that meets different needs with a single product line.

Questions and answers

Does the SCREEN beacon require a separate light source, or is it already included?

The COB LED light source is included. It is not necessary to purchase it separately or make any replacement before installation.

What is the difference between the 360º option and the wide variant in terms of light distribution?

The 360º option distributes the illumination symmetrically in all directions, which is useful when the lamp is surrounded by open space. The wide variant projects the beam outward with greater reach, which is more effective for long access paths or areas where lighting over a greater distance is needed.

What does IP65 protection exactly mean for this outdoor lamp?

IP65 indicates that the lamp is fully protected against dust and against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor use exposed to rain, with no risk of moisture affecting its internal operation.
