Overview

This outdoor wall light is designed for those looking for a functional lamp with a strong visual presence on the façade, terrace, or home entrance. It mounts directly onto the wall and provides focused light in the areas that need it most: entrances, outdoor corridors, gardens, or passageways. The aluminum body and tempered glass diffuser allow the piece to withstand outdoor conditions without losing its refined appearance.

The wall light was designed by Estudi Ribaudí for the brand FARO, with a contemporary approach that suits modern façades, concrete or stone walls, and environments where a balance between functionality and aesthetics is sought. FARO is a company with decades of experience in home and outdoor lighting, with its own design and attention to detail in every product.

Installation and specifications

For installation, a wall outlet or a recessed junction box is required at the point where the wall light is to be placed. The wiring must be protected inside the wall or covered with an outdoor-rated conduit. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially in areas exposed to rain or humidity. Before connecting the wall light, make sure the circuit is de-energized. The GU10 LED bulb is not included, so it is advisable to have it ready before beginning assembly.

To clean the aluminum body, a damp cloth and, if necessary, a small amount of neutral soap are sufficient. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the matte white finish. The glass diffuser can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use pressurized water jets directly on the luminaire. Periodically check that the fixing screws are tightly secured, especially after periods of strong wind or heavy rain.

Design and use

This FARO outdoor wall light combines aluminum and tempered glass in a compact-proportioned piece. With a height of 240 mm and a depth of just 100 mm, it does not protrude excessively from the wall, making it suitable for spaces where the movement of people or vehicles requires a certain discretion in installed elements. The matte white finish of the body is not only visually pleasing, but also conceals surface dirt well between cleanings.

The transparent diffuser allows the light from the GU10 LED spotlight to emerge in a direct and defined manner. This is useful when a specific point needs to be illuminated: the front door, a house number, the terrace entrance, or a garden path. The spotlight-type bulb concentrates the beam and prevents excessive dispersion, which can be an advantage outdoors where it is not always desirable to illuminate the entire surroundings, but rather specific areas.

The design by Estudi Ribaudí for this range of wall lights follows a contemporary, ornament-free line. The lines are clean, the silhouette is neat, and the overall piece integrates well with modern-style façades, both in single-family homes and apartment buildings or commercial premises. On a light-colored wall, the matte white body blends into the surroundings; on darker surfaces, the wall light gains prominence without appearing excessive.

Compatibility with voltages from 100 V to 240 V means this wall light can be installed in different contexts without the need for additional adapters. The maximum power of 8 W is sufficient to meet the usual lighting needs of entrances or passageways, and with a suitable LED bulb, energy consumption is quite modest.

As for placement, the wall light works well both as a standalone installation and as part of a series of luminaires distributed along a path, fence, or exterior wall. When placed on the façade next to the main door, it can be combined with an external motion sensor if that function is desired, as the wall light itself does not incorporate a sensor. This flexibility allows the installation to be adapted to the needs of each space without changing the luminaire.

Sunlight and the changing conditions of the outdoors do not usually affect aluminum significantly if it is kept clean and periodically checked. In climates with intense sun exposure, the matte finish maintains its appearance better than glossy finishes, as it does not reflect light as markedly. In coastal areas or regions with frequent rainfall, it is advisable to ensure that the wall installation seal is correct to prevent water infiltration inside the wall.

Questions and answers

Does this wall light include the GU10 LED bulb, or does it need to be purchased separately?

The light source is not included. The wall light uses a GU10 LED bulb, which can be purchased separately. It is advisable to choose one with a maximum power of 8 W so as not to exceed the wall light's capacity.

Does the wall light include a motion sensor, or does an external one need to be added?

The wall light does not have an integrated sensor. If the motion detection function is desired, an external compatible detector must be installed in the circuit. The wall light itself operates independently of any sensor or additional control system.

Can the glass diffuser break due to temperature changes outdoors?

The diffuser is made of tempered glass, which offers greater resistance to sudden temperature changes compared to conventional glass. It is a common material in outdoor luminaires precisely for this reason.
