Overview

The FARO LILY 300 beacon in black finish is designed to illuminate outdoor spaces with a clean and understated result. It is installed directly in the ground and directs light toward vegetation, walls or pathways, without the fixture itself drawing attention. During the day it looks like a discreet structural element. When night falls, the light appears on its own, as if the garden were illuminating itself.

It is an option designed for those who want the focus of attention to be the space, not the lamp. The stainless steel body and transparent glass diffuser ensure a durable finish, suitable for outdoor use throughout the year. Its IP65 protection rating allows it to function normally in rain and humid conditions.

Faro is a Barcelona-based brand with decades of experience in lighting. They design products that combine aesthetic criteria with real functionality, both for interiors and for residential outdoor projects.

Installation and specifications

For ground installation, an outdoor power outlet prepared for 24 V DC is required. As this is a safety voltage, it is recommended that the connection to the transformer be carried out by a qualified electrician. Before placing the beacon, make sure the ground is level and that the cable is protected underground or inside a conduit suitable for outdoor use. The fixing must be firm so that the piece does not shift over time.

The stainless steel body requires no special maintenance. Simply clean the surface occasionally with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust or dirt. Avoid abrasive products or those with acidic components, as they can affect the black finish. The diffuser glass can be cleaned in the same way. Do not submerge the piece or direct pressurized water directly onto the joints.

Design and use

The LILY 300 black from Faro has a precise geometry and proportions that fit well in well-kept environments. With 300 mm in height and 250 mm in length, it is not a bulky beacon. It integrates among vegetation or alongside pathways without visually occupying the space. The black finish causes the body to blend into the surroundings as soon as daylight disappears, and what remains is only the lighting effect.

The body material is stainless steel, which ensures resistance to oxidation under outdoor use conditions. This is not a surface finish that may deteriorate over time, but a material designed to remain stable in humid environments, whether in a garden, a terrace or a patio. The IP65 protection adds an additional layer of safety against water and dust.

The 2700 K color temperature produces a warm light, similar to that of a flame. This tone looks natural on plants, stone or wood, and does not distort the colors of the surroundings as cooler light sources would. A fixture of this type placed next to a plant or at the edge of a pathway creates a calm atmosphere without additional effort.

The COB LED lighting system concentrates the emission at a single point, which allows the light to be directed with precision. This makes it a useful solution as a spot projector within a broader lighting scheme. It can be combined with other beacons from the same family to create a uniform sequence along an outdoor pathway, or used as an individual element to highlight a corner of the garden.

On a terrace, the result changes depending on how it is positioned. Pointing toward a wall creates a light-washing effect. Aimed at potted plants, it turns the corner into a visual focal point at night. In an interior patio, it can be used alongside other ground lanterns to provide visual continuity to the space without the need to install ceiling light points.

Ground-level lights have a practical advantage over elevated fixtures: they do not produce direct glare when walking through the space. This characteristic makes beacons like the LILY 300 especially comfortable in circulation areas. The lights remain below the line of sight and the perceived effect is that of a well-defined space without any light source standing out aggressively.

For those planning the outdoor lighting of their home, this type of beacon fits well with projects where a clean result is sought, free of decorative elements that compete with the design of the space. The black finish is compatible with modern exteriors, with more natural-style gardens and with environments where materials such as stone or concrete predominate.

Questions and answers

Does the LILY 300 beacon work directly with the standard 220 V household current?

No. This beacon operates at 24 V DC, so it requires an external transformer to convert the household current to the appropriate voltage. The transformer is not included with the product and must be purchased separately. It is recommended that the installation be carried out by a qualified technician.

Does the IP65 rating allow the beacon to function in areas with frequent rain or near sprinkler irrigation systems?

Yes. IP65 indicates full protection against dust and resistance to water projected from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor use in typical weather conditions, including direct rain and proximity to irrigation systems. It is not designed to be submerged.

Can the included COB LED light source be replaced in the event of a fault?

The light source is included in the product. For any queries regarding the replacement or maintenance of the light source, it is advisable to contact customer service, as this type of integrated LED may require specific technical intervention.
