Overview

The MAY wall light by FARO is a circular wall lamp that fits well in different areas of the home. It can be used to illuminate a bedroom, living room, hallway, or even a bathroom, thanks to its IP44 protection against moisture and splashes. It can be installed on both the wall and the ceiling as a flush mount, which provides some flexibility when planning a room's lighting.

The lamp comes in a green finish with an opal diffuser, and projects a warm, uniform light that does not create dark spots or cause eye strain. The body is made of steel and the diffuser of glass, two materials that combine well and withstand everyday use without any issues.

FARO is a company with experience in the design and manufacture of home luminaires. The MAY series is part of its Faro Lab line, focused on lighting solutions with a careful and functional design.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, an electrical connection point on the wall or ceiling is required. As a surface-mounted luminaire, the wiring is concealed behind the body of the lamp, with no need for recessed boxes. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially in the bathroom, where electrical safety regulations require greater caution. Make sure to cut the power before starting any work.

To clean the lamp, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the green steel finish or the glass diffuser. Do not directly wet the interior of the luminaire or the electrical connection areas.

Design and use

The MAY wall light has a compact format and a circular silhouette that does not take up too much visual space on the wall. With a diameter of 120 mm and only 80 mm in depth, it is a discreet lamp that adapts well to both smooth walls and spaces with little room to manoeuvre. Its weight of 0.4 kg makes mounting straightforward and means no special fixings are required for most conventional walls.

The steel body in green gives it a character of its own. It is not an intense or striking green, but rather a tone that can naturally integrate into Nordic-style interiors, in environments with the presence of plants, or in spaces that combine natural materials with metallic finishes. The opal glass diffuser softens the LED light and distributes it evenly, without the light source being directly visible. This is especially useful in rooms where calm ambient lighting is desired, without harsh contrasts.

The colour temperature of 2700K produces a warm light, similar to that of a traditional incandescent bulb. This type of light is comfortable for rest spaces such as the bedroom or living room, where cool or neutral lighting can feel too clinical. In the dining room it also works well, as it accompanies dinners without being too intense or too dim.

In the kitchen, the wall light can be used as supplementary lighting in specific areas, such as above a cabinet, next to a window, or in a corner that needs a little more light. It is not intended to be the main light source in large spaces, but rather to complement other lamps or to illuminate defined areas with precision.

In the bathroom, the IP44 protection allows it to be installed without concern near the shower or washbasin, within the zones permitted by electrical regulations. A wall light in the bathroom positioned at mirror height is a practical solution: the light comes from the front, without shadows, making shaving or applying makeup easier. It is also useful in hallways, where the lamp can function as a guiding light point without the need for major installations.

The option to install it on the ceiling as a flush mount expands its possibilities. In narrow hallways or small bathrooms, where hanging a lamp is not viable, this option allows the same model to be used in another position. The result is central, soft, and uniform lighting.

The MAY series is available in five different finishes, making it easy to find the version that best suits each environment. The green finish is an option that adds personality without overwhelming the space.

Questions and answers

Can the MAY wall light be installed on the ceiling as well as on the wall?

Yes. This wall light is designed to be mounted on both the wall and the ceiling as a flush mount. This makes it especially useful in small spaces where a pendant lamp is not an option.

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

The 4 W COB LED light source is included. No additional bulb needs to be purchased to start using the wall light.

What level of protection does this wall light have and in which areas of the bathroom can it be installed?

The MAY wall light has IP44 protection, meaning it is protected against water splashes. It can be installed in the bathroom in the zones permitted by electrical regulations for that level of protection, such as next to the mirror or on walls away from direct shower spray.
