Overview

The VICO lamp by FARO is a ceiling pendant luminaire with a clean, well-proportioned profile. Its 60 cm length makes it suitable for dining tables, kitchen islands, or any area where focused and well-distributed light is desired. The silhouette is simple, without superfluous details, and that is precisely what makes it work well in modern interiors where visual order matters.

The version described here includes the recessed canopy, meaning the installation is integrated into the ceiling without the anchor point being visible. The result is a continuous line between the ceiling and the lamp, with no visual interruptions. For those seeking a refined finish, that detail makes a difference.

FARO is a Spanish brand with years of experience in interior and exterior lighting. Its products combine design sensibility with durable materials, and the VICO collection reflects that balance between a discreet form and solid construction.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lamp, make sure the electrical circuit is de-energised. It is fixed to the ceiling using the included recessed canopy, which integrates flush with the surface without protruding. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially if the junction box in the ceiling needs to be prepared. Verify that the anchor point can support the weight of the luminaire before fixing it.

To clean the aluminium body, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the matte black finish. The opal PC diffuser is cleaned in the same way. Do not handle the lamp while the installation is live, and avoid leaving the light on for extended periods without adequate ventilation in the space.

Design and use

The VICO pendant lamp has an oval shape that runs the full 60 cm length from end to end. That oval silhouette does not draw attention to itself, but instead organises the space without imposing a specific style. It is the type of luminaire that fits effortlessly into interiors that already have other characterful elements, as well as those seeking a neutral starting point.

The body is made of aluminium with a matte black finish. The aluminium provides rigidity without adding unnecessary weight, and the matte black avoids reflections and maintains a uniform appearance under any type of lighting. This combination makes the lamp understated during the day and a focal point when switched on, thanks to the contrast between the dark body and the warm light it emits.

The diffuser is made of PC with an opal finish. That surface diffuses the LED light and distributes it evenly along the entire piece, with no areas of greater intensity or shadow. The 2700K colour temperature produces a warm light, similar to traditional incandescent light, which is pleasant in everyday living spaces. The SMD LED is already included, so the luminaire arrives ready to install.

One of the defining features of this version is the recessed canopy. By being integrated into the ceiling, it disappears visually and the lamp appears to emerge directly from the surface. That refined finish is especially relevant on smooth ceilings and in rooms where constructional detail carries weight in the final result.

The dining room is the most obvious space for this luminaire. Placed above the table, the oval silhouette follows the same logic as the rectangular or round surface below, and the warm light complements meals and gatherings well. In the kitchen, above a long worktop or a central island, it serves a similar purpose: it illuminates the work area and defines the zone without the need for additional light sources.

In the living room, suspended above a coffee table or a reading sofa, the pendant lamp works as ambient lighting. The ceiling height determines how much cable remains visible, but the integration of the canopy ensures that the junction with the ceiling always looks clean. In a bedroom, placed above the bedside table or in the centre of the room, it provides a soft illumination that is not disturbing before sleep.

Matte black is a versatile finish. It combines well with light woods, white surfaces, iron in other decorative elements, or more industrial finishes. It also works in environments with neutral tones or in rooms where other objects provide the colour. There is no particular context where this lamp does not fit, making it practical for those who want a solution that outlasts any specific renovation.

In the bathroom, if the ceiling allows, a ceiling lamp with an opal diffuser provides diffuse, glare-free light that is comfortable in that context. Warm lights at 2700K are especially flattering in that environment. This pendant luminaire, with its slender profile and oval shape, is an option that does not visually overcrowd the space.

Questions and answers

Is the recessed canopy included in this version or does it need to be purchased separately?

Yes, this version of VICO already includes the recessed canopy. It is the variant specifically designed so that the anchor point is integrated into the ceiling, with no additional elements protruding.

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

The lamp includes the SMD LED light source. No additional bulb needs to be purchased. The luminaire arrives ready to connect and install.

Is this luminaire suitable for standard-height ceilings, given that the body height is only 32.5 mm?

Yes, the 32.5 mm body height makes this pendant lamp especially suitable for standard-height ceilings. The cable length determines the final distance from the ceiling, and can be adjusted during installation according to the needs of the space.
