Overview

The SCREEN beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate pathways, gardens and parks in a continuous and uniform way. It is installed directly in the ground and projects light upward along its body, guiding foot traffic and defining the boundaries of an outdoor space. The asymmetric 180-degree lighting option allows the light to be directed toward a specific direction, which is useful when you want to illuminate one side or highlight a specific area without scattering light in all directions.

The body is made of aluminium and transparent polycarbonate, materials that combine durability with a clean and discreet appearance. The dark grey finish integrates well into natural environments and does not draw attention during the day. At a height of 800 mm, the lamp occupies a moderate visual space without losing presence.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Its outdoor products are developed to withstand real conditions of use, not only in appearance but also in long-term performance.

Installation and specifications

For installation, it is necessary to plan for an outdoor power outlet or an underground conduit reaching the placement point. Fixing to the ground requires a firm base, preferably concrete or solid paving. It is recommended that electrical installation be carried out by a certified electrician, especially outdoors where humidity and weather conditions require well-sealed connections. Before securing the lamp definitively, it is advisable to check the orientation of the light opening to make proper use of the asymmetric 180-degree distribution.

For maintenance, simply clean the body and diffuser with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Abrasive products or solvents that could damage the polycarbonate should not be used. Although the lamp has IP65 protection, it is advisable to periodically check the condition of the closures and seals to ensure that the watertightness is maintained over time.

Design and use

The SCREEN collection was created with a clear objective: to offer technical outdoor lighting that performs well in demanding conditions without sacrificing a neat and discreet appearance. This particular beacon embodies that approach from base to diffuser.

The aluminium body provides rigidity and corrosion resistance, something essential in a lamp that remains outdoors all year round. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to pass through without filtering it excessively, enabling the 20W COB LED module to perform efficiently. The 4000K colour temperature produces a neutral white light, neither too warm nor too cold, which is functional for seeing clearly without creating an artificial or uncomfortable atmosphere.

The IK10 impact resistance is the highest level in this classification. It means that the diffuser and body can withstand considerable mechanical impacts, which matters in busy spaces where a ball, a tool or any object could strike the luminaire. The IP65 protection, for its part, ensures that neither dust nor pressurised water penetrates the interior, providing peace of mind in gardens with automated irrigation or in areas exposed to heavy rain.

The CASAMBI version of this lamp incorporates wireless technology that allows lighting to be controlled from a mobile application. This turns each lantern into part of a smart system where schedules can be programmed, intensity adjusted, or several lights grouped into independent zones. For those who already have other CASAMBI devices at home, integrating this beacon is straightforward.

The asymmetric 180-degree distribution option expands the possibilities of use. Instead of illuminating equally in all directions, it concentrates light to one side. This is practical when you want to illuminate a pathway running alongside a wall, or when the beacon is placed at the edge of a garden and you only want to project light toward the interior of the space. The conventional outdoor lantern distributes light in a circle, which is not always the most efficient approach.

In terms of visual integration, the dark grey finish works well on stone, treated wood or cement paving. It does not stand out excessively during the day and, when switched on at night, defines the space clearly without creating glare zones. Placed in a row, several beacons of this type create a visual guide that gives depth and order to a garden or pedestrian access. Combined with other lights from the SCREEN collection, a coherent and well-resolved outdoor lighting scheme can be built.

The very low weight makes transport and handling during installation easier, although the final stability depends on the quality of the fixing to the ground, which must be carried out carefully so that the lamp remains completely vertical.

Questions and answers

What does it mean that this beacon has IP65 protection?

The IP65 classification indicates that the lamp is completely sealed against dust and protected against water jets from any direction. It is sufficient for use outdoors exposed to rain or irrigation systems, without water penetrating the interior.

Is it possible to direct the light in a single direction with this lamp?

Yes. The 180-degree version distributes the illumination asymmetrically, projecting light toward half of the space instead of a full circle. This allows the beam to be directed toward a pathway, a wall or a specific area of the garden.

What advantage does the CASAMBI version offer compared to a standard beacon?

The CASAMBI version allows this luminaire to be integrated into a wireless control system managed from an application. Automatic switch-ons can be programmed, intensity adjusted, and several lights grouped to control them together, without the need to install additional switches.
