Overview

The TRAS by FARO is an in-ground recessed luminaire designed for outdoor signage lighting. It is installed flush with the floor and marks paths, accesses or perimeters without taking up space or interfering with the surroundings. It is a solution designed for those who want to organise light in a garden, patio or façade without adding bulky elements.

The compact housing makes installation easier even in spaces where the construction margin is limited. It can be installed with or without a frame, which provides some freedom when adapting it to the floor finish. The IP67 protection ensures that the spotlight withstands both rain and the ingress of dust and solid particles, conditions common in any outdoor setting.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Their outdoor products combine durability with functional design, built to withstand continuous use in real-world conditions.

Installation and specifications

For installation, bear in mind that the spotlight operates at 24VDC, so it requires an appropriate power supply. Before starting, check that the floor area where you are going to recess it has sufficient depth for the housing. If the ground is compacted soil or arid terrain, it is advisable to prepare a firm base to prevent movement. The recessed fixture can be mounted with or without a frame depending on the finish you want to achieve. All electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified professional.

To keep the glass diffuser in good condition, clean it periodically with a damp cloth and no abrasive products. The aluminium and ABS body in a matt black finish requires no special treatment, but accumulated dirt should be removed, especially in areas with mud or nearby vegetation. Do not submerge the spotlight or expose it to direct water pressure beyond what its IP67 certification covers under normal conditions of use.

Design and use

The TRAS is an in-ground recessed luminaire that provides outdoor signage lighting in a discreet and durable way. Its low profile, at just 65 mm in height, means it is practically integrated into the floor. When installed in a garden or patio, it is barely noticeable during the day. At nightfall, light emerges cleanly from the ground and defines paths, edges and accesses without the need for posts or visible wall fittings.

The body combines aluminium with ABS, two materials that complement each other well in outdoor settings. The aluminium provides solidity and mechanical resistance, while the ABS helps keep the weight under control. The assembly weighs 1.68 kg, enough for the spotlight to remain stable once installed. The matt black finish of the body does not reflect ambient light and integrates easily into dark or neutral surfaces, whether stone floors, concrete or outdoor paving.

The transparent glass diffuser allows light to pass through without distorting it. The 3000K colour temperature corresponds to a warm tone, which is pleasant in domestic outdoor spaces. In a garden or on a terrace, that warmth makes the night-time atmosphere welcoming without being too intense. On a façade or access, it helps to mark the path clearly without causing glare.

The included SMD LED light source operates at 25W with a voltage of 24VDC. The LED is integrated into the luminaire by the manufacturer, which simplifies commissioning. There is no need to search for compatible bulbs or make prior adaptations.

One of the most practical advantages of this model is the flexibility in mounting. It can be installed with or without a frame, depending on how it integrates best into the floor. On porous or irregular surfaces, the frame helps to seal the perimeter. On more precise paving, omitting the frame gives a cleaner, more continuous result.

IP67 protection is important in any in-ground recessed fixture. It means the spotlight is protected against temporary immersion in water and against the ingress of dust or solid particles. In outdoor areas with frequent rainfall or where water may occasionally accumulate on the floor, that certification provides long-term peace of mind.

This model fits well in residential entrances, garden paths, terrace edges, outdoor staircases and courtyard accesses. It also works well as perimeter lighting on façades when several spotlights are installed along a route. The lamp has a compact design that does not visually compete with other elements, making it easy to combine with other outdoor light points if the project requires it.

Questions and answers

Can the TRAS recessed fixture be installed directly in the floor without a frame?

Yes. This model allows installation with or without a frame. The choice depends on the type of paving and the finish you want to achieve. Without a frame, the spotlight is more integrated into the surface.

What level of protection does the spotlight offer against rainwater?

The TRAS has IP67 certification, which means it is protected against temporary immersion and against the ingress of dust. It is suitable for outdoor areas where water may occasionally accumulate on the floor.

Is the LED light source included or does it need to be purchased separately?

The SMD LED light source is already included in the luminaire. No additional components need to be purchased for commissioning, other than the 24VDC power supply.
