Overview

The SCREEN beacon by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed to illuminate gardens, parks, access paths and open-air spaces where stable and long-lasting lighting is needed. It is installed directly in the ground and distributes light upwards, marking routes or highlighting specific areas of the garden without the need for additional structures.

The SCREEN collection combines aluminium and polycarbonate in a construction that performs well under outdoor conditions. IP65 protection ensures the lamp operates without issues in rain and dirt. The IK10 impact resistance rating adds an extra layer of safety in public use environments or high-traffic areas.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in technical lighting. Its outdoor products are designed to last and maintain consistent performance over time.

Installation and specifications

For installation, the electrical connection point in the ground must be prepared before placing the beacon. As it is a ground-mounted luminaire, it is advisable to verify that the surface is level and that the wiring is properly protected and channelled in accordance with current regulations for outdoor installations. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially when working with the 220V-240V mains supply in an outdoor environment.

The lamp does not require frequent maintenance thanks to its sealed construction with a transparent polycarbonate diffuser. To clean the surface, simply use a damp cloth and a neutral detergent. Avoid the use of abrasive products or solvents that may damage the dark grey aluminium finish or the diffuser. Periodically check that the seals and closures maintain their integrity to preserve IP65 protection.

Design and use

The SCREEN beacon is an outdoor lamp with a sober and functional construction. The aluminium body with a dark grey finish has a discreet appearance that does not distract in the surroundings and fits well in both private gardens and public or semi-public spaces. The height of 800 mm allows the light to reach a reasonably wide area without raising the emission point too high.

The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to pass through directly. The colour temperature of 2700K produces a warm tone that is pleasant in outdoor night-time settings, similar to the light of a traditional street lamp but with the efficiency of LED technology. This type of lighting integrates well in gardens with vegetation, stone paths or paved access ways, where a cool light might feel too clinical.

The included COB LED light source operates at a maximum power of 20W, providing a useful level of illumination without excessive consumption. As it is included with the lamp, there is no need to search for a compatible model separately. This beacon operates at the standard voltage of 220V-240V, the same as the rest of a typical domestic installation.

The IP65 protection rating is relevant in any outdoor installation. It means the lamp is completely protected against dust and resistant to water jets from any angle. This makes it suitable for areas with frequent rainfall or for installations near irrigation systems. The IK10 impact resistance rating, the highest on the scale, ensures the structure withstands impacts without compromising its operation, which is particularly useful in garden areas where there may be physical activity or the passage of small vehicles.

The 360º variant of this beacon distributes light symmetrically around the column. This is useful when the luminaire is placed in the centre of a space and equal illumination in all directions is desired, such as in a roundabout or a passageway with access from several sides. The wide option, on the other hand, broadens the dispersion angle to carry light further horizontally. This variant is better suited to illuminating long stretches of paths or garden borders where it is desirable to cover more surface area with fewer light points.

The DALI version allows the lamp to be connected to professional lighting control systems. DALI is a standard protocol in technical installations that allows the intensity of several lights to be adjusted independently from a centralised controller. This is useful in larger projects, such as communal gardens or parks, where lighting is to be managed by zones or according to schedules and environmental conditions. In simple domestic installations this function may not be necessary, but its availability adds flexibility should the system be expanded in the future.

In terms of integration with the surroundings, the SCREEN beacon combines well with other outdoor lighting elements such as wall lights or recessed ground lights. Its dark grey finish allows it to go unnoticed during the day, with attention falling on the light it projects at night.

Questions and answers

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

The lamp includes the 20W COB LED light source. No additional components need to be purchased to get it up and running.

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

The 360º variant distributes light symmetrically in all directions around the lamp. The wide variant broadens the dispersion angle to project light further horizontally, which is more useful for illuminating paths or long garden strips.

What does it mean that the lamp has a DALI version and what is it used for in an outdoor installation?

DALI is a control protocol that allows light intensity to be adjusted from a centralised system. In more complex outdoor installations, such as communal gardens or parks, it allows multiple lights to be managed independently, by zone or according to a programmed schedule.
