Overview

The RUSH 800 beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate gardens, parks and pathways with warm, uniform light. It is installed directly in the ground and reaches 800 mm in height, making it a clear visual reference in open spaces. Its dark grey body blends well into natural environments without drawing too much attention.

This lamp offers IP65 protection, meaning that rainwater and solid particles do not affect its operation. It also features IK10 impact resistance, a level that few garden luminaires achieve. The result is a beacon that withstands typical outdoor conditions without the need for frequent maintenance.

The 360º variant distributes illumination symmetrically around the beacon, which is useful when you want to mark a pathway or light a space evenly. The wide option projects light over a greater distance, designed for broader areas where more reach is needed.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in professional and residential lighting. Its outdoor products combine technical materials with finishes designed to last in changing conditions.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the beacon, check that the electrical supply point in the ground is properly prepared and protected for outdoor use. The fixture is installed directly in the ground, so it is advisable to have a firm base, whether concrete or compacted earth. If the installation involves new electrical connections, it is best to have them carried out by a qualified electrician. Verify that the installation voltage matches the range indicated by the manufacturer before connecting the lamp.

To keep the lamp in good condition, clean the body and diffuser with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the polycarbonate or the dark grey finish. Do not direct jets of water directly onto the joints or connections, even though the beacon has IP65 protection. Periodically check that the base remains well seated, especially after periods of heavy rain or frost.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 collection is designed for those who want an outdoor beacon that works reliably without depending on provisional solutions such as solar energy or an external motion sensor. It is a mains-powered luminaire, stable and consistent, that forms part of the fixed lighting of a garden or outdoor space.

The aluminium body gives it structural solidity without adding excessive weight. The polycarbonate diffuser withstands impacts well, something that in an outdoor lantern installed in a garden or thoroughfare is more important than it might seem. It is not uncommon for a beacon to receive accidental blows from tools, wheels or even balls. The IK10 certification covers precisely those cases.

The 3000K colour temperature produces a warm light that does not disrupt the nocturnal atmosphere of the garden. Unlike cool lights, this tone is closer to traditional incandescent light and creates a more welcoming environment. In a patio or terrace with vegetation, this type of lighting reinforces the sense of continuity between indoors and outdoors.

The 360º lighting option is particularly useful on symmetrical pathways, small squares or entrances where you want the beacon to act as a complete light point. In such cases, placing several beacons at regular intervals creates a clean, well-distributed line of lighting. The wide variant allows greater lateral coverage, making it suitable for garden areas where the lamp is not flanked by elements that concentrate the light.

The lantern fits well in contemporary-design gardens, with straight lines and neutral materials. The dark grey body does not stand out excessively during the day and blends with stone, wood or gravel paving. In more natural spaces, with grass or low-growing plants, the beacon acts as a visual reference point without interrupting the composition of the surroundings.

The CASAMBI version allows this lamp to be integrated into wireless lighting control systems. From an app, it is possible to manage switching, intensity and scheduling without installing additional control wiring. This is practical when you want to adjust the behaviour of the outdoor lighting according to the use of the space or the time of day.

With a power output of 20W and COB LED technology, the beacon offers adequate luminous performance for its function without consuming more than necessary. The light source is included, so there is no need to search for compatible bulbs separately.

Questions and answers

Does the RUSH 800 beacon require any kind of motion sensor to operate?

No. The RUSH 800 beacon is a mains-powered luminaire that operates continuously without the need for a motion sensor or any automatic activation mechanism. Its switching on and off depends on the electrical circuit to which it is connected or, in the CASAMBI version, on the wireless control system.

What is the difference between the 360º option and the wide variant in this beacon?

The 360º option distributes light symmetrically in all directions around the beacon, useful for illuminating a point evenly. The wide variant projects light with greater lateral reach, which is more suitable for broad areas where you want to cover more surface area.

Does the transparent polycarbonate diffuser affect the perceived colour temperature?

The diffuser is transparent, so it does not filter or alter the tone of the emitted light. The 3000K colour temperature produced by the COB LED is what is perceived directly in the illuminated space, without any modification from the diffuser material.
