Overview

The SIDE 200 wall light is a wall lamp created by designers Alex and Manel Lluscà for the Spanish brand FARO Barcelona. Its compact silhouette and matte white finish make it a solid option for interior spaces where clean lighting is sought without sacrificing design.

This lamp works well in the bedroom, hallway, living room or kitchen. Its discreet size — 200 mm on each side and 90 mm in depth — makes it easy to integrate into walls with limited available space. The opal glass diffuser distributes light softly, without bright spots or harsh shadows.

FARO Barcelona has been developing luminaires for indoor and outdoor use for decades. The brand combines quality manufacturing with coherent design proposals, built to last and to fit different home styles.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, a recessed box or an existing electrical point on the surface is required. The fixture mounts directly onto the wall, so it is advisable to verify beforehand that the wiring reaches the exact point where the lamp will be placed. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially when working near water installations, such as in the bathroom or kitchen. Before any work, the power must be switched off at the electrical panel.

To clean the matte white steel body, a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish. The glass diffuser can be cleaned with a soft cloth. The bulb must not be handled while the lamp is connected to the power supply.

Design and use

The SIDE 200 wall light has a steel structure that gives it solidity without adding visual weight. The lamp measures 200 mm in all its main dimensions, giving it a compact and well-proportioned shape. The matte white body does not draw too much attention to itself, allowing it to blend into walls of different colors without creating excessive contrast.

The opal glass diffuser covers the light source and distributes illumination evenly throughout the room. This prevents direct glare and creates a more comfortable environment for the eye. In a bedroom, where soft light is preferable to direct light, this type of diffuser makes a noticeable difference.

The lamp uses a G9 LED socket, which means the bulb is not included and must be purchased separately. This socket format is common and easy to find. The maximum accepted wattage is 6 W, sufficient for the decorative or supplementary lighting function that a wall light of these dimensions typically serves.

The design is signed by Alex and Manel Lluscà, a studio known for proposals that balance functionality and form. In the case of the SIDE 200, that philosophy translates into a lamp without unnecessary ornamentation, where the finish of the body and the glass do the visual work on their own.

In the hallway, where ceiling height and available space are often limited, this wall light fits well because it does not project more than 90 mm from the wall. It can be placed at whatever height is deemed appropriate without interfering with foot traffic. In the living room, combined with other light sources, it adds a touch of warmth to the wall without monopolizing the visual space.

In the kitchen, where functionality matters as much as style, the lamp can be installed in areas where additional lighting is needed without resorting to a ceiling spotlight. Its matte white finish is visually resilient and harmonizes with modern appliances and furniture. It can also be useful in the bathroom if placed on either side of the mirror, although in that case it is advisable to verify in advance the appropriate IP protection rating for the installation area.

The SIDE 200 wall light does not aim to be the centerpiece of the décor. Its function is to complement the interior discreetly, providing light where it is needed and maintaining a clean presence on the wall. In environments with natural wood, such as shelving, frames or wooden floors, the white body creates a warm contrast that works effortlessly. If the space features more metallic or modern-finish elements, the lamp also adapts without looking out of place.

It is a valid option both for those renovating an entire home and for those simply looking to update a light point in a specific room.
