Overview

The KOV wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for outdoor use. It works well at house entrances, facades, covered terraces, or any outdoor space where discreet and functional lighting is needed. Its circular shape and white finish give it a clean look that does not compete with the surroundings, it simply complements them.

What sets this wall light apart is the combination of flexibility and simplicity. It can be mounted vertically or horizontally, and allows you to choose between two different lighting angles: 23º and 34º. This means the light beam can be adjusted depending on where more clarity is needed, whether projecting upward, downward, or in both directions at once.

FARO is a Spanish brand with experience in indoor and outdoor luminaires. Their products are designed for real installations, with attention to the technical details that make a difference in daily use.

Installation and specifications

For installation, it is recommended to fix the wall light directly to the wall using the appropriate anchors for the type of surface. Before starting, make sure to cut the power supply. The connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially in outdoor installations. Verify that the chosen support is capable of bearing the weight of the assembly.

For maintenance, simply clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive products or solvents that could damage the aluminium finish. Periodically check the drainage system to ensure there are no blockages that could cause water to accumulate.

Design and use

The KOV wall light has a well-resolved technical design. The housing is made of aluminium, a material that withstands exposure to sunlight, temperature changes, and ambient humidity. Its white colour is discreet and integrates easily into facades of different styles, from modern finishes to more classic surfaces.

One of the most practical features of this lamp is its internal drainage system. Outdoors, water can easily accumulate after rain, especially in wall lights that direct the light upward. The KOV's design takes that problem into account from the outset, preventing water from becoming stagnant inside the body of the fixture.

The light source is of the COB LED type, which guarantees a concentrated and uniform light emission. With a colour temperature of 3000K, the tone is warm, similar to traditional incandescent light. It is a common choice for illuminating entrances, gardens, or terraces where a welcoming atmosphere is sought without excessive whiteness.

The wall light allows you to choose the lighting angle: 23º for a more concentrated projection or 34º to distribute the light over a slightly larger area. This adjustment option is useful when installing several luminaires along a facade or in a garden, as each light point can be adapted to the specific space without changing the fixture.

Wall installation is straightforward. The body has compact dimensions — 212 mm in height and 80 mm in diameter — making it suitable for both narrow walls and wide surfaces. As it is not a large lamp, it does not create shadows or visually interrupt the overall facade.

Although the KOV does not incorporate a motion sensor, it can be combined with an external detector in the electrical circuit. In this way, it is possible to configure the lamp to activate automatically upon movement, without needing to change the wall light itself. This makes it compatible with installations where that feature may be added later.

On terraces or patios with furniture and plants, the warm beam of the KOV creates an atmosphere that is not intrusive. The direct or indirect light can be oriented to highlight a specific area or to illuminate a path without causing glare. In gardens, the wall light works well mounted on low walls or entrance pillars, provided there is an electrical outlet available in the area.

The white finish withstands continuous sun exposure without yellowing appreciably, thanks to the properties of the treated aluminium. This is a detail that affects the appearance of the wall light in the long term, especially on south-facing facades or in areas with many hours of direct sunlight.

When several wall lights are installed along an exterior facade, the KOV maintains a coherent visual line regardless of whether they are mounted vertically or horizontally. The circular shape and uniform finish mean the series looks orderly, with no single piece standing out above the others. This is a practical advantage in projects where long stretches of wall are illuminated with several lamps in succession.

On a covered terrace, the wall light can be mounted on the side wall to project light towards the seating area without pointing directly at the eyes. The beam can be oriented precisely thanks to the available angles, allowing functional lighting to be created without it becoming bothersome during a long evening. With the right adjustment, the lamp illuminates the plane of use — a table, an outdoor sofa, an access corridor — without wasting light on areas that do not need it.

At garden entrances or pedestrian access points, the KOV wall light mounted on a pillar or boundary wall marks the path clearly. The 3000K temperature does not harden the night-time atmosphere, but makes it recognisable and comfortable. Placed at a medium height, the beam illuminates the ground sufficiently to move safely without creating a high-intensity zone that contrasts too sharply with the surroundings.

For those who value aesthetic coherence outdoors, the KOV fits well with facades in neutral tones — white, grey, beige — and also with stone or treated wood cladding. Its compact profile does not draw excessive attention during the day, and at night it fulfils its function without becoming the visual centrepiece of the space. It is the type of lamp that fades into the background when not needed and is appreciated when switched on.

If the installation is exposed to wind or significant thermal variations, the aluminium body provides a stable base. The material does not deform in the heat of the sun or become brittle in the cold, which reduces the need for frequent inspections. In coastal areas or areas with high humidity, it is advisable to verify the compatibility of the protection rating with the specific conditions of the location before installing any outdoor wall light.

Questions and answers

Can the light be directed both upward and downward on the same wall light?

Yes. The KOV allows unidirectional or bidirectional lighting. In addition, two different angles — 23º or 34º — can be selected to adjust the projection according to the needs of the space.

Does the wall light include the light source 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 installation.

Can it be mounted horizontally as well as vertically?

Yes. The KOV wall light supports both mounting orientations, allowing it to be adapted to different wall arrangements depending on the design of the outdoor space.
