Overview

The FARO ESPOT 350 beacon is an outdoor lamp designed to be installed directly in the ground. It works well in gardens, home entrances, pathways and walkways. Its height of 350 mm makes it a discreet option that marks the route without taking up visual space. The illumination is 360 degrees, meaning the light is distributed around the body of the lamp, with no uncovered areas.

The dark grey finish gives it a clean, neutral look that fits with modern facades or stone paving. The IP65 protection ensures the lamp withstands rain and dust well, without needing to be removed when the season changes.

FARO is a Spanish company with years of experience in lighting. It works for both the residential market and larger-scale projects, and its products are distinguished by combining durability with careful design.

Installation and specifications

To install this lamp in the ground, it is necessary to prepare the base in advance. It is recommended to have an electrician for the connection, as it operates on mains current (220V–240V). The power cable must be protected and channelled underground before fixing the luminaire. Check that the surface where it is installed is level so that the beacon sits straight.

To clean the aluminium body, a slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the finish. The PC diffuser is cleaned in the same way. Although the IP65 protection shields against rain, it is not recommended to submerge the lamp or direct high-pressure water jets at it.

Design and use

The body of this beacon is made of aluminium, a material that combines lightness with durability. It does not rust with moisture and maintains its finish for years without the need for additional treatments. The dark grey is a tone that ages well: it does not show dirt easily and continues to look clean after seasons of rain or dust. It is a lamp that goes unnoticed during the day and fulfils its function at night.

The diffuser is transparent and made of polycarbonate, a technical plastic that resists impacts and temperature changes. It does not yellow over time like other materials, which helps maintain light quality over the years. The combination of a transparent diffuser with an SMD LED light source produces uniform and consistent illumination around the entire beacon.

The colour temperature is adjustable between 2200 and 4000K. This allows you to choose between a warm light, close to that of a traditional lantern, or a cooler and more functional light. For a garden with plants and natural elements, lower temperatures create a pleasant atmosphere. For an entrance or a path where visibility is a priority, a higher temperature is more practical. This flexibility means the lamp adapts to different uses without changing the product.

With 9W of power, energy consumption is low. LED lights of this type have a long lifespan and do not require frequent replacement. This is an advantage in outdoor installations where changing a bulb involves additional work.

As for installation, the beacon is fixed to the ground and integrated into the paving or garden soil. It works well aligned with other identical units to mark a path or the perimeter of a terrace. It can also be placed individually next to an entrance or at the foot of a tree to highlight a specific point in the garden. Its square footprint makes it easy to integrate with modular paving or straight kerbs.

The IP65 protection is an important feature for an outdoor lamp. It means the luminaire is protected against dust ingress and against water jets from any direction. It withstands without issue in areas exposed to direct rain, making it suitable for variable climates.

This beacon does not include a motion sensor or rechargeable charging system, so its operation depends on a fixed electrical installation. This ensures constant and uninterrupted illumination, regardless of battery level or sunlight conditions. For those looking for a stable and long-lasting solution, without relying on solar panels or batteries, this lamp offers exactly that.

At just over one kilogram, it is manageable during installation without being fragile. The compact dimensions — 160 x 160 mm at the base — allow it to be placed in tight spaces without being intrusive.

Questions and answers

Does the ESPOT 350 beacon include the light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The lamp includes the SMD LED light source. It is not necessary to purchase it separately or look for compatibility with other models.

What colour temperature does this lamp offer and how does it affect the result outdoors?

It is available in 2200, 2700, 3200 and 4000K. Lower temperatures produce a warmer light, similar to that of a classic lantern. Higher temperatures produce a whiter light, useful for entrances or walkways where visibility is a priority.

Is IP65 protection sufficient to install this beacon in an area exposed to direct rain?

Yes. IP65 indicates that the product is protected against water jets from any direction, making it suitable for uncovered outdoor areas.
