Overview

The RUSH 800 beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to be installed in the ground and provide direct lighting in gardens, parks and other open-air spaces. Its height of 800 mm makes it a discreet yet effective presence: it does not dominate the surroundings, but accompanies the space with uniform, well-distributed light.

The version with 360º optics distributes illumination symmetrically in all directions, which is especially useful in passageways, paths or spaces where leaving unlit areas is undesirable. With a colour temperature of 4000K, the lamp offers neutral white light that keeps the outdoor environment comfortable and well visible without feeling cold or harsh.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in technical and decorative lighting. Its outdoor products are designed to withstand real-world conditions, not just to meet specifications on paper.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the beacon, verify that the installation area has a suitable outdoor power outlet and that the wiring is protected underground or in a moisture-resistant conduit. The fixture is mounted in the ground, so the base should be properly prepared: the surface must be level and firm enough to keep the lamp stable. If integrated into a DALI control system, configuration must be carried out by a qualified electrician before connecting the equipment.

To keep the lamp in good condition, clean the outer surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the dark grey finish or the transparent diffuser. Periodically check that the seals and closure are in good condition so that the IP65 protection remains effective over time.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 collection combines aluminium and transparent polycarbonate in a compact, robust structure. The aluminium provides solidity without adding excessive weight, while the polycarbonate diffuser ensures clean, uniform light transmission. The unit has a dark grey finish that integrates well with stone, concrete or exterior wood paving without drawing attention to itself.

The IK10 rating means the body can withstand significant mechanical impacts, which is relevant in frequently used areas such as garden paths, home entrances or public installations. Together with the IP65 certification, which protects against rain and dust ingress, this beacon is ready to operate without interruption under typical outdoor conditions.

The 20 W COB LED light source consumes energy efficiently and provides stable illumination. The 4000K temperature is neutral white: it has neither the warm yellow of traditional lamps nor the intense blue of cooler options. In a garden or patio, this type of light allows the details of the surroundings to be clearly distinguished without abruptly altering the night-time atmosphere.

The 360º distribution option is one of the most practical features of this lamp. Rather than projecting light in a single direction, the beacon illuminates radially, covering the full perimeter. This makes it ideal for marking paths, defining garden boundaries or creating a continuous line of illumination along a route.

Compatibility with the DALI protocol allows this lamp to be integrated into broader lighting control systems. In installations where multiple light points are managed from a single system, being able to adjust or programme each luminaire individually is a real advantage. For domestic use without a centralised control system, the beacon also works straightforwardly when connected directly to the mains.

Visually, the lamp maintains a sober and functional design. With no superfluous decorative elements, it fits into modern gardens, minimalist settings and also patios featuring natural materials such as stone or wood. Its slim profile — 160 mm wide — and moderate height make it compatible with planters, kerbs and other luminaires from the same collection.

This beacon can also be used in transit areas such as garage entrances, pedestrian access points or communal spaces. The ground-level lantern is especially useful in spots where overhead lighting does not reach adequately and a low-level light point is needed to define the route without creating glare at eye level.

Questions and answers

Does the RUSH 800 beacon include the light source, or does it need to be purchased separately?

The lamp includes the 20 W COB LED light source, so no additional components are required for it to function.

What does it mean that the beacon is DALI compatible?

DALI is a standard lighting control protocol that allows each light point to be individually regulated and programmed from a centralised system. This lamp can be integrated into installations that use such a system, although it also works without one when connected directly to the mains.

Is IP65 protection sufficient for climates with frequent or heavy rainfall?

Yes. The IP65 classification indicates that the lamp is fully protected against dust ingress and resistant to water jets from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use in regular rain.
