Overview

The FARO cement wall light is a lamp designed for those looking for something specific: well-distributed light, a solid appearance, and a format that fits effortlessly into a contemporary interior. Its square body of 115 mm and its cement grey finish give it a discreet yet defined presence, without taking up too much visual or physical space.

What makes this wall light different is that it emits light both upward and downward. That means it does not create the shadowy zone that usually appears just above or below a conventional lamp. The light is distributed more evenly throughout the room, which is useful in hallways, bedrooms, living rooms, or any corner where lighting matters.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior lighting design. Its products combine technical criteria with attention to aesthetic detail, aimed at those who want a functional lamp without sacrificing a good-looking end result.

Installation and specifications

For wall installation, it is necessary to first locate the existing electrical outlet in the wall or prepare a new one with the help of an electrician. Since the wall light weighs 1 kg, it is advisable to fix it to a solid surface: brick, concrete, or drywall with an appropriate anchor for that weight. The G9 socket accepts standard LED bulbs of that type, which are purchased separately. The lamp is compatible with electrical networks between 100 V and 240 V, so it works without adaptation in any home in Spain or the European Union.

The cement surface does not require special products for maintenance. A dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient to remove dust. Avoid abrasive products or those with aggressive chemical components, as they can alter the finish. Always disconnect the wall light from the power supply before cleaning or handling the bulb. Do not install this model in areas with high humidity without first confirming that it has adequate IP protection for that environment.

Design and use

The cement body gives this wall light its own texture, with a matte and slightly irregular surface that is characteristic of the material. It is not a lamp that tries to imitate another finish or simulate something it is not. Cement has presence on its own, and the grey colour of this FARO version fits with a wide variety of colour palettes: from very neutral interiors to spaces with dark wood elements, matte black, or earthy tones.

The square shape of the body, with its 115 mm in each dimension, gives it a clean and geometric appearance that is characteristic of contemporary design. There are no decorative curves or added elements. It is a lamp that works precisely because of what it omits: it does not visually overload the space and allows other elements in the room to take centre stage.

The two-directional light emission, upward and downward, is one of the most practical features of this wall light. In a hallway, for example, it prevents the ceiling from being completely dark and creates a sense of greater spaciousness. In a bedroom, placed on either side of the bed, it provides a light that does not glare but also does not leave areas in shadow. In the living room it can work as supportive or ambient light, especially when combined with other light sources.

In the kitchen or dining room, this type of wall light can be integrated as complementary lighting on side walls, without competing with the main lighting. In the bathroom, provided the humidity conditions allow it and the wall light's suitability for the environment has been verified, it can provide a more enveloping light than that offered by a single central ceiling point.

The G9 LED socket allows the use of low-consumption bulbs that are easy to find in any lighting shop or hardware store. The maximum power of 6 W is sufficient to create a warm or neutral atmosphere depending on the type of bulb chosen, as the colour temperature will depend on what the user selects when purchasing the bulb separately.

This FARO wall light can work alone as a spot lighting element or be repeated in series along a wall to achieve a more enveloping effect. Its ornament-free design makes it compatible with industrial, minimalist, or Scandinavian style environments, although it can also coexist without issue in more eclectic interiors where cement appears as one more element within a varied composition.

Questions and answers

Does the lamp emit light in only one direction or in both directions?

This wall light emits light both upward and downward. This allows a more homogeneous distribution of light in the room, avoiding shadowy areas above or below the installation point.

What type of bulb does this wall light require and is it included in the purchase?

The wall light uses a G9 LED bulb with a maximum power of 6 W. The bulb is not included and must be purchased separately. It is a common format that is easily found in lighting shops or large retail stores.

Is the cement body resistant or can it deteriorate over time?

Cement is a solid and durable material. It does not deform or lose its shape with normal use. To keep the finish in good condition, it is sufficient to clean it with a dry cloth from time to time and avoid abrasive chemical products on the surface.
