Overview

The KOMBO lamp by FARO is a suspension luminaire designed for interior spaces where a balance between functionality and form is sought. Its cylindrical structure in matte black and the metal shade in grey create a sober combination that effortlessly fits into different types of environments. This version includes a multiple canopy with seven light points, which allows the lighting to be distributed more broadly and evenly within the room.

It is a practical solution for those who want to renew the lighting in the living room, dining room or any space where the ceiling is the starting point. The clean geometry of the oval shade does not compete with the rest of the furniture, but rather complements it. FARO is a brand with years of experience in lighting, with an extensive catalogue and presence in residential and interior design projects throughout Europe.

Installation and specifications

To install this pendant lamp, a ceiling box prepared for electrical connection is required. As it is a multiple canopy with seven points, it is advisable to verify that the ceiling can support the total weight of the assembly with all arms mounted. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician. The cable has a maximum length of 5000 mm, which allows the height of the lamp to be adjusted according to the space. The E27 LED light source is not included, so it must be purchased separately before start-up.

To clean the metal shade, a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish should not be used. It is important to switch off the lamp and wait for it to cool down before handling it. The maximum wattage indicated for each light point must not be exceeded.

Design and use

The KOMBO series was created by the design studio Nutcreatives as a family of pendant lamps with their own character. What defines this collection is the coherence between its different versions: all models share the upper cylindrical structure in matte black, which allows different sizes to be combined within the same space without the result appearing improvised. The oval shade in metallic grey is the element that gives each piece its visual identity.

This ceiling lamp, in its seven-light version, is designed for larger rooms or to create an installation with clear visual impact. In a dining room, for example, it can be centred over the table to distribute light evenly without creating unwanted shadows. In the living room it works well as a central element that visually organises the space without overwhelming the atmosphere.

The oval metal shade, with its grey finish, has a simple geometric profile that does not draw too much attention to itself. That is precisely what makes it versatile: it adapts to both more contemporary interiors and spaces with classic furniture. It does not need a very defined context to integrate well. In a kitchen with straight lines it is just as at home as in a bedroom with a warmer atmosphere.

The cylindrical steel structure at the top is the junction point between the cable and the shade. This element in matte black provides contrast with the grey of the shade without appearing overly ornate. It is a design detail that is noticed when one pays attention, but that does not distract when not sought. This balance is difficult to achieve and is one of the strong points of the KOMBO series.

The cable length, of up to 5000 mm, gives great freedom when installing the pendant lamp. In spaces with high ceilings, it can be left to hang at a greater distance so that the light reaches closer to the area of use. In rooms with standard ceilings, it can be easily shortened during installation. This flexibility is useful when renovating spaces that do not always have regular heights.

The seven-light version also opens up the possibility of installing different bulbs with different colour temperatures, although the usual approach is to use identical ones to achieve uniform lighting. As it is an LED lamp with an E27 fitting, there is a wide variety of options on the market. The visual result can vary considerably depending on the chosen bulb: warmer, more neutral or cooler, depending on the effect sought in the room.

As for the bathroom, although it is a space where pendant lamps are not always considered, in larger bathrooms with sufficient ceiling height it can be an interesting option if the electrical installation is prepared for it. Similarly, in a long hallway with good height, a ceiling lamp like this can mark the route in a simple and effective way. The oval shade does not visually take up too much space, making it viable even in passageways.

Questions and answers

Does the multiple canopy of this lamp allow the seven pendants to be separated into different positions or are they fixed?

The multiple canopy concentrates the seven light points in a common structure that is fixed to a single point on the ceiling. The arms are neither independent nor directionally adjustable, as they form part of an integrated assembly designed for centralised installation.

Can the 5000 mm cable be shortened during installation or should it be left at its original length?

The cable height can be adjusted during assembly. The usual approach is to gather it inside the canopy until the distance from the ceiling best suited to the space is reached. For any electrical modification, it is recommended that a professional carry it out.

Is this pendant lamp compatible with intensity regulators or dimmers?

Compatibility with regulators depends on the LED bulb installed, as the light source is not included. To use a dimmer, it is necessary to ensure that the chosen E27 bulb is dimmable, as not all options on the market allow this.
