Overview

The FARO ITO LED lamp is a desk luminaire designed for those who work with precision: architects, designers, students. It can be used as a classic desk lamp or as a clamp on the edge of the table, thanks to the included accessory. This makes it useful in different contexts without needing to purchase additional equipment.

The head is wide and flexible. It can be directed according to the task being performed, without straining the arm or losing position. The clip accommodates boards up to 5 cm thick, adapting to most desks and work tables.

It includes a touch Touch Dimmer that allows you to adjust the intensity directly on the lamp, without dials or buttons. Switching on and off is quick. The light emits at 3000K, a warm temperature that does not tire the eyes during long sessions.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior lighting. Its products combine real functionality with quality materials. The ITO LED is a good example of that approach: nothing is superfluous, nothing is missing.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lamp, make sure the surface where it will be placed or attached is stable. If used as a clamp, check that the board does not exceed 5 cm in thickness. If used as a desk lamp, place it on a flat, firm surface. Connect the cable to a standard 220V-240V outlet. No fixed electrical installation is required.

To clean the lamp, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the matte black finish or the opal diffuser. Do not wet the electrical connection areas. Always disconnect the lamp from the power supply before cleaning.

Design and use

The ITO LED is a lamp designed for close-up work. It is not an ambient lamp or a decorative lamp. It is a lighting tool for those who need to see clearly what they are doing: plans, sketches, technical reading, graphic design, or simply a well-lit study desk.

The body is made of ABS and aluminium, giving it a lightweight structure but with enough weight to remain stable on the desk without moving. The matte black finish does not reflect ambient light or draw attention to itself. It is a lamp that makes itself known when you turn the light on, and visually disappears when you turn it off.

The diffuser is made of opal PMMA. This material distributes light evenly, without creating bright spots or harsh shadows. When you work for hours, that makes a difference. It is not just about how much light there is, but about how it falls on the desk. A well-diffused light reduces eye fatigue noticeably.

The 3000K temperature places this lamp in the warm range. It is not the cold white light of an office, nor the yellow light of a bedside lamp. It is something in between, balanced, which is pleasant both for technical work and for reading or writing for hours. In a bedroom that also functions as a work area, that balance is especially useful.

The Touch Dimmer is one of the most practical elements of this lamp. It allows you to lower the light intensity by simply touching the base of the head. There are no dials, no levers. One touch adjusts, another switches off or on. For those who work under changing light conditions throughout the day, being able to adjust without interrupting is very convenient.

The arm measures 700 mm in length and 590 mm in height. This gives a generous range of action. You can bring the head closer to the work area or move it away to illuminate a larger surface. The flexibility of the arm allows you to direct the light precisely without moving the entire lamp.

Installation as a clamp works well on tables with boards up to 5 cm thick. The accessory to convert it into a traditional desk lamp is included, so there is no need to choose at the time of purchase. You can try one configuration and switch to the other without special tools.

As for the context of use, this lamp fits well on a work or study desk, in a technical drawing area, on an auxiliary side table used for reading, or in any corner where directed and dimmable light is needed. It is not a living room lamp, nor is it designed to illuminate a dining room. Its strong point is precision, not breadth.

The 5W consumption is low. For the level of light it provides, this is a relevant figure if the lamp is going to be on for many hours a day.

Questions and answers

Is the accessory for using the lamp as a desk lamp instead of a clamp included in the purchase?

Yes, the accessory is included in the box. It does not need to be purchased separately. With it, you can use the lamp resting directly on the desk instead of holding it with the clip.

What is the maximum board thickness the ITO LED lamp clip can accommodate?

The clip can be installed on boards up to 5 cm thick. It is compatible with most study tables and standard desks.

Can the light intensity be adjusted or does it only have one fixed level?

The lamp includes a touch Touch Dimmer that allows you to adjust the light intensity. One touch adjusts the level, and another switches it on or off. There are no fixed positions: the adjustment is continuous.
