Overview

The TOND 1L wall light by FARO is a wall luminaire designed for outdoor use. It is installed directly on vertical surfaces and is intended to project light onto columns, facades or walls with a clean and precise effect. Its IP54 rating protects it against moisture and dust, making it suitable for use on terraces, main entrances or any exposed outdoor area.

The die-cast aluminium body gives it solidity without adding unnecessary weight. The dark grey finish integrates well with concrete, stone or modern cladding surfaces. It is not a decorative wall light in the usual sense — it is designed to work with the architecture, not against it.

FARO is a company with a long track record in residential and contract lighting. Their products can be found in all kinds of projects, from private homes to public spaces. The TOND 1L wall light reflects that approach: functional, discreet and well resolved.

Installation and specifications

For installation, it is advisable to switch off the electrical circuit at the distribution board before starting any connections. The wall light is fixed to the wall using the included anchor points. It is recommended to verify that the surface is solid and that the wall plugs used are suitable for the wall material. If installation is carried out outdoors with direct exposure to rain, make sure to properly seal the cable entries to maintain the IP54 protection.

To clean the luminaire, use a soft dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the finish of the body or the glass. Do not handle the lamp when it is on or has just been switched off. Periodically check the fixing points, especially in areas with sudden temperature changes.

Design and use

The TOND 1L wall light is unidirectional, meaning it concentrates the beam of light in one specific direction. This makes it a useful tool when you want to highlight a particular surface: the texture of a stone facade, the volume of a column, the vertical line of an exterior wall. It does not disperse light in a diffuse manner, but rather directs it with intention.

The integrated COB LED light source emits at 2700K, a warm colour temperature that is not harsh in open-air spaces. At night, this tone avoids the hard contrast produced by cool lights and allows the garden or entrance to maintain a calm atmosphere. It is the kind of light that does not draw attention to itself, but rather to what it illuminates.

The transparent glass diffuser does not alter the colour of the light or create visual interference. The lamp projects exactly what the LED produces, without filters that modify the result. This is especially relevant when working with natural materials — stone, treated wood, exposed brick — where the true colour matters.

The die-cast aluminium body is lightweight but resistant. Unlike other materials, aluminium does not oxidise easily and withstands the temperature variations typical of outdoor environments. The dark grey finish is not a generic neutral colour: it has enough presence to look good during the day, and at night it becomes almost unnoticeable when the focus of attention is on the projected light.

Weighing 0.5 kg, the wall light does not require complex anchoring. Its compact dimensions — 86 mm in height and 80 mm in diameter — allow it to be installed in small spaces without appearing disproportionate. It works well both in single installations and in compositions where several luminaires are placed along a facade or an outdoor corridor.

In terms of consumption, the maximum power of 6W makes this wall light an efficient option for extended use. It does not generate excessive heat and can be left on for hours without representing a significant expense. If combined with an external motion sensor or presence detector, consumption is reduced even further, although the wall light itself does not include any built-in sensor system.

In the context of a garden or terrace, this wall light pairs well with other outdoor lighting elements. It can be combined with floor lanterns, luminaires recessed into the pavement or similar wall lights in other areas of the wall. The important thing is to maintain the same colour temperature so that the result is coherent. At 2700K, the artificial light generated by this wall light is perceived as warm and proportionate, without harshness.

For those renovating a facade or simply looking to improve the entrance lighting, the TOND 1L delivers a clear result: a well-lit wall, a controlled light effect and a wall light that does not interfere with the overall visual appearance of the exterior.

Questions and answers

Does the TOND 1L wall light include the light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The COB LED lamp is already included in the wall light. No additional light source needs to be purchased for it to work.

Is the IP54 protection sufficient to install this wall light on a facade exposed to rain?

IP54 indicates protection against dust and against water splashes from any direction. It is suitable for outdoor installation, including facades and areas with moderate rainfall. It is not designed for immersion or direct pressurised water jets.

Does the wall light allow the beam of light to be directed to different positions once installed?

The TOND 1L is unidirectional and the orientation is defined at the time of installation according to how it is fixed to the wall. It does not have an adjustable orientation system after installation.
