Overview

The PRESS wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for those who want something functional without sacrificing design. Jordi Blasi conceived it as a reading or accent light, compact and direct. The beam of light is projected in a controlled way, without spreading throughout the room, making it useful in areas where focused lighting is needed: next to the bed in the bedroom, beside an armchair in the living room, or in the hallway to find your way without switching on the entire installation.

What sets this wall light apart is its own mechanism: the aluminium structure acts as a switch. Simply press the lamp lightly to turn it on or off. There are no separate buttons or additional controls. That detail, as simple as it is effective, makes it a convenient option for everyday use.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior and exterior lighting. Their products combine aesthetic sensibility with contemporary materials and technology.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, it is recommended to have an existing electrical point at the mounting location. As it is a surface-mounted luminaire fixed directly to the wall, no additional building work is required, but a prior electrical connection is needed. It is advisable to have the installation carried out by a qualified electrician if you have no experience with this type of work. Before starting, make sure to cut the power supply from the main panel.

To clean the surface of the wall light, simply use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive products or liquids that could damage the gloss white aluminium finish. Do not handle the lamp with wet hands or while it is connected to the mains.

Design and use

The PRESS wall light has a round shape and a discreet profile. Its aluminium structure in a gloss white finish gives it a clean appearance, free of unnecessary elements. The lamp does not protrude excessively from the wall, allowing it to be placed in spaces with little clearance without feeling uncomfortable or bulky.

Jordi Blasi's design starts from a practical idea: that the body of the wall light itself acts as the switch. By gently pressing the structure, the lamp turns on or off. It is a natural gesture, with no need to look for a separate button on the wall. This solution simplifies daily use and reduces visible elements to a minimum.

The light it emits is warm, at 3000K, similar to that of a traditional bulb but with the reduced consumption of LED. This makes it suitable for environments where a welcoming tone is desired: the bedroom, the living room, the dining room, or any corner where accent lighting is wanted without it feeling cold or clinical. In the bathroom it can also work well as a complement to the main lighting, especially near the mirror or in areas of occasional use.

With only 3 W of power, consumption is minimal. The SMD LED bulb is already included, so there is no need to purchase anything additional to get started.

In the hallway, a wall light like this provides orientation without overwhelming the space. The well-directed beam of light illuminates just enough. In long hallways, several can be placed at the same height to achieve a uniform distribution without installing a complex system.

In the bedroom, the lamp fits particularly well as a reading light. Fixed to the wall next to the bed, it frees the bedside table from table lamps and cables. The touch mechanism makes it easy to turn off without moving too much. In the living room it serves a similar function: it complements the general lighting and allows the creation of more intimate areas without installing an additional circuit.

The gloss white finish combines well with light-coloured walls, lacquered furniture, or environments where neutral tones predominate. It can also contrast with dark surfaces or natural materials such as wood. Its round shape and geometric profile place it closer to a modern and orderly style, though without feeling cold or sterile.

In the kitchen, this wall light can work as accent lighting in work areas, under tall cabinets, or in spaces where overhead light does not reach with sufficient intensity. In the dining room it provides a lateral point of light that complements the main lamp.

Questions and answers

Is the switch integrated into the wall light itself or is a separate one on the wall needed?

The switch is integrated into the aluminium structure of the wall light. Simply press the body of the lamp lightly to turn it on or off, with no need for any additional button on the wall.

Is the LED bulb included or does it need to be purchased separately?

The SMD LED light source is already included in the wall light. It is not necessary to purchase any additional bulb to use it from the very first moment.

What are the dimensions of the wall light and how far does it protrude from the wall?

The wall light has a diameter of 104 mm, a height of 213 mm, and a depth of 65 mm. Those 65 mm are the distance it protrudes from the wall, allowing it to be installed without feeling bulky in small spaces.
