Overview

The FARO RUSH 800 beacon is an outdoor lamp designed to be installed directly in the ground. Its height of 800 mm makes it a practical option for marking paths, illuminating gardens, or signaling pedestrian areas in parks and open spaces. The light it emits is warm, at 2700K, creating a pleasant atmosphere without being harsh on the eyes.

It is made of aluminium and polycarbonate, two materials that hold up well in outdoor conditions. The IP65 protection ensures that rain and dust do not affect the lamp's operation. It also features IK10 impact resistance, meaning it can withstand impacts without deteriorating. The 360º version distributes light symmetrically in all directions, with no shadowed areas.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in lighting. Its products combine solid technical criteria with careful design, and are present in both residential projects and public spaces.

Installation and specifications

Preparation and installation. This lamp is fixed to the ground, so before installing it, it is advisable to plan the underground cable routing. The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician. The beacon is compatible with DALI control systems, allowing it to be integrated into installations with dimming regulation. Check that the mains voltage is 220V–240V before connecting the lamp. The fixing base must be level so that the beacon is completely vertical.

Use and maintenance. To clean the outer surface, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the dark grey finish or the transparent diffuser. The IP65 protection protects the lamp against rain, but it is not designed to be submerged in water. Periodically check the connections and the condition of the cable to ensure everything is in good condition.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 is an outdoor lamp that does exactly what is asked of it: providing constant, uniform light in open spaces. Its design is clean and free of decorative elements that would overload the eye. The dark grey body integrates easily into environments of paving, gravel, or vegetation, without drawing more attention than necessary.

The main material is aluminium, which offers solidity without adding unnecessary weight. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to pass through without filtering it excessively, enabling the beacon to illuminate efficiently despite its 20W output. The included COB LED source ensures compact and homogeneous light emission. The 2700K colour temperature corresponds to a warm light, similar to that of a candle or a traditional bulb, which makes the garden feel welcoming at dusk.

The 360º version emits light symmetrically in all directions. This makes it especially useful on paths where visibility is needed from both sides, or in central areas of a garden where light must reach in all directions without creating partial shadows. There is no need to orient it in a specific direction during installation, which simplifies the process.

IP65 protection is one of the most important aspects of an outdoor lamp. It means it is sealed against dust and protected against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for climates with frequent rain or areas where the garden is regularly irrigated. IK10 resistance adds an additional layer of safety: it is the maximum level of protection against mechanical impacts, which is useful in high-traffic areas where it may receive accidental knocks.

This beacon can be used as a signalling post along a path, as a light feature in a designed garden, or as functional lighting at a house entrance. It also fits well in patios, terraces, or common areas of residential buildings. Combined with other light sources such as spotlights or wall lights, it can form part of a complete outdoor lighting system. Its DALI compatibility makes it particularly powerful in installations where light intensity needs to be controlled centrally, without relying on solutions such as motion sensors or rechargeable systems.

The beacon measures 160 mm at its square base and 800 mm in height. These proportions make it visible without being excessive in domestic-scale spaces. Its lantern is compact and the light distribution reaches the ground gradually, without strong contrast areas between illuminated zones and shadowed areas. It is a lamp that does its job without drawing too much attention during the day, and that comes into its own when night falls.

Questions and answers

Is the RUSH 800 beacon protected against heavy rain?

Yes. It has IP65 protection, meaning it is sealed against dust and resistant to direct water jets from any angle. It is suitable for outdoor use in climates with frequent rain.

Is it possible to dim the RUSH 800 lamp?

Yes. This version includes compatibility with the DALI protocol, which allows the light intensity to be controlled and regulated centrally within an electrical installation that has that system.

What does IK10 impact resistance mean?

IK10 is the maximum level of protection against mechanical impacts according to European standards. It means the lamp body can absorb knocks without the structure or operation being affected, which is useful in high-traffic areas or gardens with frequent activity.
