Overview

The TOM wall light by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for wall mounting. It works well on terraces, entrances, porches and facades where a fixed, discreet and weather-resistant light is needed. Its IP65 protection rating makes it suitable for outdoor use exposed to rain and dust, without affecting its performance.

What sets this wall light apart is its dual installation option: it can be mounted on both a wall and a ceiling, offering more flexibility when planning the lighting of a space. It includes an integrated LED light source, so there is no need to purchase anything additional to get it up and running.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in lighting. Their products combine functionality and restrained design, aimed at those looking for durable, no-fuss solutions.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, a recessed junction box or solid surface is required to anchor the base. It is recommended that the electrical installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially as this is an outdoor luminaire. Before connecting, make sure the circuit is de-energised. The mains voltage must be between 220V and 240V.

The ABS body and PC diffuser are materials that require no special maintenance. To clean the lamp, a damp cloth without abrasive products is sufficient. Do not use solvents or cleaners that could damage the matt white finish. Periodically check the fixing points to ensure the wall light remains securely anchored to the wall.

Design and use

The TOM wall light has a square format of 190 x 190 mm with a depth of just 60 mm. This makes it compact and discreet on the wall, without taking up visual space unnecessarily. The matt white finish of the body fits well on both modern facades and light-coloured walls, blending naturally into the surroundings.

The opal diffuser distributes light evenly, without creating bright spots or areas of marked shadow. The 3000K colour temperature produces a warm light, similar to traditional incandescent light. It is a tone that is pleasant in outdoor night-time settings, without the harshness of cool white.

The included SMD LED light source consumes 7W. It is not a high-powered lamp, but it is sufficient for illuminating an entrance, a porch or a small terrace. The fixture is designed for orientation and ambience, not for lighting work areas.

This wall light is suitable for gardens and patios where fixed light is needed at specific points. It can be placed next to a door, along a path if a wall or column is available, or in any outdoor area where a light reference is required at night. Its IP65 resistance also makes it suitable for areas more exposed to sun, rain or wind.

The option to use it as a ceiling light expands its installation possibilities. On a porch with a low ceiling, for example, it can be mounted directly on the ceiling without the need for another luminaire. This simplifies planning when a single lamp model is wanted for different points in the same outdoor space.

In terms of combining with other elements, the TOM wall light in white is easy to integrate into environments where decorative or functional lighting already exists. It does not visually compete with lanterns, floor luminaires or garden vegetation. It is a discreet luminaire that does its job without drawing too much attention during the day.

The ABS body material offers good resistance to impact and prolonged outdoor exposure. It does not rust or deform with the typical temperature changes of temperate climates. The PC diffuser is equally resistant and maintains its opal appearance over time without visibly yellowing.

For those renovating the outdoor lighting of their home, this wall light represents a balanced option: easy to install, with the light source included and with sufficient protection for use on an exterior wall. It does not require a motion sensor or dimming, which simplifies both installation and daily use. If a wall light with a built-in detector or sensor is sought, this model does not include that function, but it can be combined with an external timer or dusk-to-dawn switch if automated switching is desired.

Questions and answers

Can the TOM wall light be installed directly on the ceiling as well as on the wall?

Yes. This model can be used both as a wall light and as a ceiling light. The base allows both fixing options, providing flexibility when choosing the installation point outdoors.

What does IP65 protection mean and how does it affect outdoor use?

The IP65 rating indicates that the luminaire is fully protected against dust and against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for installation on facades, terraces and gardens exposed to rain, without any risk to the equipment's operation.

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

The SMD LED light source is already included in the wall light. No additional bulb needs to be purchased to use it from the very first moment.
