Overview

The BU-OH floor lamp by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for garden lighting, pedestrian access paths, terraces, and landscaped areas. It is installed directly in the ground and reaches a height of 2500 mm, making it visible from different points in the outdoor space. Its design was developed by Estudi Ribaudí, and the shape of the diffuser is reminiscent of an owl's eyes, hence the name of the series.

The floor lamp emits light on all four sides thanks to its opal diffuser, allowing uniform illumination around the pole. This is useful on paths or access routes where visibility is needed in all directions. The integrated LED source operates at 3000K, a warm color temperature that creates a pleasant atmosphere without being harsh on the eyes.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in the design and manufacture of luminaires. Its catalog covers both indoor and outdoor products, with particular attention to material quality and aesthetic consistency between design and function.

Installation and specifications

Installing this floor lamp requires preparing a ground base capable of supporting the weight of the assembly, which exceeds eleven kilograms. As this is a ground-mounted luminaire, it is recommended to have a qualified electrician carry out the connection to the electrical circuit of the outdoor installation. Before starting, make sure the installation area has no underground pipes or wiring. The working voltage accepts between 100V and 240V, making it compatible with the standard electrical grid.

To keep the aluminum body in good condition, simply clean it periodically with a damp cloth and no abrasive products. The PC diffuser can be cleaned in the same way, avoiding solvents that could damage the opal surface. Do not handle the luminaire while the installation is live. In the event of visible damage to the body or the diffuser, consult technical support before continuing to use the floor lamp.

Design and use

The BU-OH floor lamp stands out for a design that combines functionality with a clear visual presence. The body is made of aluminum in dark grey, a finish that integrates well in both contemporary environments and gardens with abundant vegetation. The aluminum provides resistance to outdoor conditions without adding excessive weight to the assembly. The silhouette of the pole is clean and vertical, without unnecessary decorative elements, giving it a modern and discreet appearance at the same time.

The opal PC diffuser is the most recognizable element of this lamp. Its shape evokes an owl's eyes, and that double lateral opening projects light in all directions, covering the surroundings in a balanced way. In a garden or a patio, this means there are no shadowed areas around the spot where the floor lamp is placed. The 3000K color temperature produces a warm light, similar to that of a traditional incandescent lamp, which is neither cold nor clinical.

The SMD LED light source is integrated into the luminaire, so there is no need to search for or install additional bulbs. This type of technology consumes less energy than conventional sources and has a longer lifespan, which reduces the frequency of maintenance interventions. The lighting is constant and flicker-free from the moment it is switched on.

With a height of 2500 mm, this floor lamp is suitable for illuminating access routes and pathways in private gardens, as well as common areas of residential developments or buildings with outdoor spaces. Its small footprint — 150 mm on each side — allows it to be placed without taking up too much visual or physical space. At an entrance with plants or shrubs, the floor lamp blends in without dominating the overall setting.

As for combining it with other outdoor elements, the dark grey of the body works well alongside natural stone paving, polished concrete, or treated wood. It can also be paired with other pieces from the same BU-OH series to create a cohesive illuminated route along a path or a larger garden. The final effect is lighting that is perceived as part of the space's design, rather than an isolated functional addition.
