Overview

The KIVA 1200 wall light by FARO is a surface-mounted lamp designed to be installed on a wall. Its elongated 1200 mm format distributes light evenly along its entire length, with no dark spots or brightness concentrations. It can be mounted both horizontally and vertically, giving the freedom to adapt it to different spaces and compositions.

It is a valid option for the living room, bedroom, dining room, bathroom or hallways. It works equally well as the main lighting in small spaces or as a complement in larger rooms. The ability to orient the wall light according to the wall layout means it fits in situations where a conventional lamp would not achieve the same visual result.

FARO is a company with decades of experience in lighting. Its products combine functionality and quality materials for real domestic use, not just for catalogues.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the wall light, check that the wall where you are going to fix it is solid and can support the weight of the product. The wiring must be switched off at the electrical panel throughout the entire process. If you have no experience with electrical installations, it is advisable to seek the help of an electrician. Make sure the bracket is properly levelled before finally securing the lamp. Remember that the LED light source is not included with the product.

To keep the chrome finish in good condition, clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive products or harsh liquids that could damage the stainless steel. Do not handle the lamp when it is switched on. In the bathroom, make sure the installation is carried out in an area where the wall light is not directly exposed to water.

Design and use

The KIVA 1200 is a wall light with a stainless steel body in a chrome finish. The visual result is clean and understated: the reflective chrome surface integrates effortlessly into environments with other metals, whether silver, nickel-plated or in neutral tones. It does not impose a specific style, which means it works in modern spaces or more sober interiors without any adjustments.

The 1200 mm length is its most notable feature. At that scale, the wall light ceases to be a point light source and becomes a structural element of the space. Mounted horizontally, it can act as a luminous frieze that reinforces the width of a wall or frames a specific area, such as the headboard in a bedroom or the mirror in a bathroom. Vertically, it visually elongates the space and can serve as an axis reference in a long hallway or in a living room with high walls.

The SMD LED light source at 3000K offers a warm colour temperature, close to traditional incandescent light. This type of tone is particularly suitable for areas where a relaxed atmosphere is desired, such as the bedroom or dining room, but is also comfortable in the kitchen when combined with cooler or more direct lighting. In bathrooms, warm light avoids the clinical effect produced by higher colour temperatures and delivers a more pleasant result at any time of day.

In the living room, a wall light of these dimensions can replace a floor lamp in certain compositions, especially if the space does not allow for auxiliary furniture or if the preference is to keep the floor clear. Fixed to the wall, it takes up less physical space but generates a similar visual impact.

The maximum power of 18W is sufficient to comfortably illuminate a medium-sized room, always depending on the layout of the space and whether other light sources are active. In hallways, where lighting tends to be localised and functional, this wall light provides linear coverage that eliminates the typical shadows created by separate light points.

The chrome finish on the stainless steel holds up well over time when maintained with basic care. It does not accumulate dust easily and its surface is simple to clean. In the bathroom, a material like this makes practical sense: it does not deteriorate from ambient humidity as quickly as other finishes.

The design of the KIVA 1200 does not seek to draw attention to itself. Its form is geometric and straightforward, allowing it to integrate with different decorative styles without creating visual conflict. Alongside more elaborate elements, it blends in, in the best sense of the word. As a standalone piece on a clear wall, its length gives it presence without the need for ornamentation.

Questions and answers

Can the KIVA 1200 wall light be installed both horizontally and vertically?

Yes. The wall light is designed to be mounted in both orientations. The choice depends on the space and the effect desired: horizontally it reinforces the width of the wall, vertically it visually elongates the space.

Is the LED light source included with the wall light?

No, the light source is not included. It must be purchased separately. The product uses SMD LED technology and operates at a colour temperature of 3000K.

Is the chrome stainless steel finish suitable for installing the wall light in the bathroom?

Yes. Stainless steel with a chrome finish tolerates environments with ambient humidity such as the bathroom well. It is recommended to install it outside the zone of direct water contact and to clean it with a soft cloth to keep the finish in good condition.
