Overview

The FARO LOOP LED lamp is a hanging ceiling luminaire designed by the Catalan studio Estudi Ribaudí. Its oval shape and materials — cherry wood and matte black steel — give it a calm but well-defined character. It works well in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and kitchens where warm lighting is sought without sacrificing the aesthetics of the space.

The pendant offers integrated LED light at 2700K, a colour temperature very close to that of a traditional incandescent bulb. It creates an unobtrusive atmosphere, without cold light or excessive whiteness. The translucent PMMA shade distributes light gently downward and to the sides, without bright spots or harsh shadows.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in home lighting. It combines quality materials with design collaborations, and the LOOP LED series is a good example of this: a lamp that does not try to draw too much attention, but fits precisely into the atmosphere it is asked to create.

Installation and specifications

To install this pendant lamp, an existing ceiling rose or junction box is required. The fitting attaches directly to the ceiling via the included suspension cable. The total height of the assembly is 1290 mm, so it is worth measuring the space before hanging it, especially in rooms with low ceilings. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, as it involves connection to the mains. The operating voltage is universal, from 100V to 240V, so no adapter is required.

To keep the lamp in good condition, clean the oval shade with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents on the cherry wood and PMMA diffuser. Do not touch the LED source directly. Always disconnect the lamp from the power supply before cleaning it.

Design and use

The LOOP LED series starts from a simple idea: a pendant lamp with an oval shape that does not rely on ornamentation to be attractive. The outer ring combines cherry wood and matte black steel, two materials that together create an interesting visual tension. The wood adds warmth, the black metal anchors it in a more contemporary language. The result is a lamp that looks neither too rustic nor too industrial, but something of its own.

The translucent PMMA diffuser occupies the interior of the oval shape. It is not conventional glass, but a material that diffuses light evenly, without letting the LED point be seen directly. This is what makes the light in the room feel soft and continuous, without annoying glare. At 2700K, the colour temperature sits in the warm range, similar to the traditional lights that many people prefer for rest and gathering spaces.

In a dining room, this pendant lamp works very well above an elongated or round table. The oval shape of the shade corresponds visually to many dining tables, and the light it projects creates a defined zone without illuminating the entire room uniformly. It is an effect that gives character to the space and makes the table the visual centre of the room.

In the living room, it can be hung as the main piece in reading or seating areas. It does not need to be accompanied by other lights if the space is medium-sized, although it combines well with more discreet light points in other areas. The matte black body integrates without issue with frames, shelves or metal structures of the same tone in the room.

In Nordic or contemporary style bedrooms, this lamp adds presence without feeling overdone. The cherry wood is a detail that connects well with furniture in natural tones, and the black steel contrasts with beds or headboards in light colours. The warm light helps to create the atmosphere sought in a bedroom before sleep.

It can also work in kitchens with sufficiently high ceilings. In a kitchen with a central island, the pendant lamp can be centred over the work surface, where direct lighting is practical and the design does not clash with modern furniture. The matte black finish visually resists marks and does not show dust as easily as glossy finishes.

The maximum height of the assembly, 1290 mm from the ceiling, allows the hanging point to be adjusted according to the space. In rooms with a standard 2.5-metre ceiling, the lamp would be approximately 1.2 metres from the floor, which is suitable for hanging above a table or island. If a greater height is needed, the cable can be shortened during installation.

As for weight, the assembly weighs around two net kilograms, making it manageable for a standard ceiling fixing. No special reinforcement is required, only that the anchor point is in good condition.

Questions and answers

Does the LOOP LED pendant lamp include the light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The SMD LED light source is already included. No additional bulb needs to be purchased to operate the lamp.

Is the oval diffuser made of glass or another material?

The diffuser has an oval shape and is made of translucent PMMA, not glass. It is a lighter material, more resistant to impacts than glass, with a finish that distributes light evenly.

What are the exact dimensions of the ceiling lamp and how does it affect the clearance height in the room?

The total height of the pendant is 1290 mm from the ceiling fixing point. In a room with a 2.5-metre ceiling, the bottom of the lamp would be approximately 1.21 metres from the floor. If more clearance is needed, the suspension cable can be shortened during installation.
