Overview

The KOV wall light by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed for wall mounting. It works well on facades, entrances, terraces and covered access areas where clean, controlled lighting is needed. Its round shape and white finish fit effortlessly into contemporary outdoor settings, though they also complement more sober or industrial architecture.

The light emitted by this wall light is both direct and indirect, with the integrated LED source in a recessed position. This means there is no glare when looking straight at it. The lamp can be oriented upward or downward, and accepts two different angles — 14° and 23° — allowing the beam to be adjusted according to the layout of the space. Two colour temperatures are available, and the model described here operates at 2700K, a warm tone that is pleasant in residential outdoor settings.

FARO is a company with decades of experience in indoor and outdoor luminaires. Their products are distributed in several countries and are designed for both interior design projects and the individual user seeking lasting quality.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the wall light, make sure the wall surface is clean, dry and firm enough to support the weight of the lamp. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, as it involves direct connection to the mains at 220V–240V. Always cut the power before starting any work. Check that the existing wiring is compatible with the device's power rating.

For maintenance, clean the aluminium body with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the white finish. Periodically check the anchor points to ensure they remain secure. Do not handle the wall light while the power is on.

Design and use

The KOV wall light has a very restrained design. Its body is circular, made of aluminium, with a white finish that holds up well in outdoor conditions. The silhouette is compact — 212 mm tall, 80 mm in diameter — meaning it takes up little visual space on the wall without losing presence. It is the kind of lamp that does not draw excessive attention, but that is noticed when well placed.

The COB LED source is integrated inside the wall light in a recessed position. This reduces direct glare and distributes the light more softly over the illuminated surface. The 2700K temperature produces a warm light, similar to that of traditional incandescent luminaires. It is a tone that works well at entrances, gardens and passageways where cool light can feel too clinical.

One of the most practical aspects of this lamp is the ability to choose between two beam angles: 14° and 23°. The narrower angle concentrates the beam on a smaller area, ideal for illuminating a specific element such as a house number, a sign or a defined access area. The wider angle spreads the light over a larger surface, useful on broad facades or walls where more general coverage is desired. Each wall light has one angle pointing upward and another downward, adding versatility without the need to install multiple luminaires.

The orientation is also flexible. The wall light can be mounted so that the light points upward, downward, or in both directions simultaneously. This allows it to be adapted to different visual needs: creating grazing effects on the wall, illuminating the ground in front of an entrance, or projecting light skyward in gardens where ambient effects are used.

As for the built-in drainage system, it prevents rainwater or condensation from accumulating inside the body. This is a technical detail that extends the lifespan of the device in climates with frequent rainfall or significant temperature variations. Aluminium, for its part, is a material that withstands prolonged exposure to sun and humidity without deteriorating quickly.

This wall light fits well on modern facades with smooth finishes, but also works on textured outdoor surfaces — stone, exposed brick, concrete — where the white body creates a clean contrast. On a terrace, it can be installed at eye level to mark the boundaries of the space. In a garden, it serves to mark pathways or illuminate areas of vegetation from the nearest wall. At an entrance, it gives a sense of security and orientation without being aggressive.

The wall light weighs just over one kilogram, making installation on standard surfaces straightforward without the need for special fixings. The total power of 2x6W is sufficient to meet the usual lighting needs in residential outdoor settings.

Questions and answers

Can the KOV wall light be mounted both vertically and horizontally on the wall?

Yes. The wall light's design allows it to be installed in both orientations. Whether mounted vertically or horizontally, it retains its functionality and its drainage system remains operational.

What is the practical difference between choosing the 14° angle and the 23° angle?

The 14° angle concentrates the light beam more on a specific area, while the 23° angle distributes the illumination over a somewhat larger surface. The choice depends on whether you want to highlight a specific point or cover a wider area of the wall or floor.

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

The COB LED light source is included. It is not necessary to purchase it separately or make any adaptations before installing the lamp.
