Overview

The KOV wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for outdoor use. Its aluminium construction and black finish make it suitable for facades, entrances, terraces and gardens where a clean result with no unnecessary decorative elements is desired.

What sets this wall light apart is the combination of direct and indirect light with a recessed light source. This means the light source is not directly exposed to view, which reduces glare and makes lighting more comfortable in passageways or rest areas. The lamp can emit light upward, downward, or in both directions simultaneously, with a 14° angle in each direction.

FARO is a Spanish company with experience in designing luminaires for interiors and exteriors. Their products are aimed at both residential use and more demanding projects, with attention to constructive detail and durability under real-world conditions.

Installation and specifications

To install this outdoor wall light, a cable outlet in the wall must be in the correct position before mounting. As a surface-mounted luminaire, it is fixed directly onto the wall with the included anchors. It is recommended that the electrical installation be carried out by a qualified technician, especially in areas exposed to rain or humidity. Before connecting the lamp, make sure the circuit is de-energised.

For maintenance, simply clean the aluminium surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish. The integrated drainage system prevents water from accumulating inside, but it is advisable to periodically check that there are no obstructions in that area, especially after periods of heavy rain or environmental dirt.

Design and use

The KOV wall light has a square and compact silhouette, with dimensions of 212 mm high, 80 mm wide and 87 mm deep. Its weight of 1.23 kg indicates a solid construction without being excessively bulky for a standard wall. The aluminium body provides resistance against outdoor conditions: temperature changes, humidity and prolonged sun exposure do not affect the structure in the same way they would affect other materials.

The black finish gives it a defined character. It is not a lamp that tries to go unnoticed, but neither does it dominate the space. It works well on neutral-coloured facades, on exposed brick walls or in combination with dark carpentry. It also fits in gardens with dense vegetation, where the contrast between the wall light and the green surroundings feels natural.

The colour temperature of 3000K produces a warm light, similar to traditional incandescent light. It is a suitable temperature for terraces where a calm atmosphere is desired at night, or for illuminating entrances without the light source appearing cold or clinical. This warmth is also compatible with garden areas where other ambient luminaires are installed.

The COB LED light source is already included in the lamp, with a total power of 2x6 W. Having two independent sources, the wall light can operate with light directed upward and downward simultaneously, or be oriented according to the needs of the space. The 14° beam angle in each direction concentrates the light beam, which is useful when a specific surface needs to be highlighted or to visually guide an outdoor path without illuminating a wide area in a diffuse manner.

The integrated drainage system is a technical detail that has a direct impact on durability. In an outdoor wall light, water accumulation inside can damage the electronics or promote corrosion. This system resolves that problem without requiring any user intervention. In areas with frequent rain, or where the wall light is directly exposed without an overhang, this makes a real difference in the long term.

The ability to mount the lamp in both vertical and horizontal positions expands the installation options. On a terrace, it can be placed on the side of a pillar or on the perimeter wall. At a home entrance, it can be installed on either side of the door or above the lintel. In the garden, it can be used on a low wall to mark a path or illuminate a passageway. A motion sensor is not included in this model, but the installation can be combined with an external detector if automated switching is desired.

This wall light does not require a specific interior design style to integrate well. Both in modern environments and in more sober or industrial contexts, the technical design and black finish allow it to coexist with other elements without creating visual dissonance.

Questions and answers

Can the KOV wall light be mounted horizontally as well as vertically?

Yes. This wall light is designed to be installed in both vertical and horizontal positions, providing flexibility when adapting it to the available space on the facade or in the garden.

Does the lamp include a light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The COB LED light source is already included. No additional bulb needs to be purchased to get the wall light up and running from the very first moment.

What is the function of the drainage system incorporated in this model?

The drainage system prevents rainwater from accumulating inside the lamp. This protects the electrical components and helps the wall light maintain correct operation under continuous outdoor use conditions.
