Overview

The SIDE 390 wall light is a surface-mounted luminaire designed for those looking for something simple and well-resolved. It fixes directly to the wall and provides warm, uniform light without the need for additional cables or complex elements. It is a lamp that works well both in large spaces and in tighter corners, where the design has to work with what is there.

Its square format and matte black finish give it a modern character without being eye-catching. The steel base and opal glass diffuser make the lamp look clean and balanced on the wall. It is a piece that does not compete with the rest of the interior, but integrates naturally.

FARO Barcelona is a Spanish company with decades of experience in interior lighting. Their products combine functionality and design without complicating the choice for the user. The SIDE 390 wall light was created by Alex&Manel Lluscà, designers with a clear and unpretentious approach.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, it is advisable to first check that the existing light point coincides with the centre of the bracket. If the wiring needs to be moved, it is preferable to do so before the final installation. The fixing is directly onto the wall, with no intermediate structure. On brick or cement walls, it is recommended to use plugs suitable for the material. Installation should be carried out by an electrician if you do not have experience with electrical connections.

The opal glass diffuser can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Abrasive products or solvents should not be used. The matte black steel casing is cleaned dry or with a barely damp cloth to avoid marks. The lamp does not require bulb replacement, as the LED source is integrated. It is advisable to turn off the luminaire before any cleaning or inspection task.

Design and use

The SIDE 390 wall light has a steel metal structure with a matte black finish. The shape is square, with a contained profile that does not protrude too much from the wall. That discretion is part of what makes this lamp fit in so many different contexts. It does not impose a specific style, but does add a modern touch to the space where it is placed.

The opal glass diffuser distributes light softly, without areas of concentrated brightness. The 3000K temperature produces a warm light, close to incandescent light, which is pleasant in everyday-use spaces. In a bedroom, that warmth is especially useful at night. In a living room, it creates a more relaxed atmosphere than cool lighting.

The integrated 15W LED source consumes little compared to higher-power solutions. By not requiring a separate bulb, product management is reduced. There is no need to think about replacements or compatibility. The wall light arrives ready to connect and switch on.

In the hallway, a lamp of these characteristics resolves the lighting well without taking up space on the ceiling or the floor. The hallway is often a forgotten area of domestic interior design, but good wall lighting can considerably change how that space is perceived. The light is distributed laterally and covers the transit area well.

In the kitchen, the wall light can complement the central lighting or replace it if the ceiling is low. It does not interfere with the furniture and does not generate annoying shadows on the worktop if placed at the right height. The matte black finish holds up well against the temperature and humidity variations typical of that environment.

The glass diffuser gives the whole a more refined look than plastic. From a certain angle, the light passing through it has a slightly diffused texture, without harsh reflections. This makes the wall light pleasant to look at even when it is at eye level.

As for combining with other interior elements, matte black works well with light wood, concrete or white walls. If the space has touches of natural wood, the contrast with the dark finish of the lamp can be very balanced. It also fits in more industrial interiors or in spaces with mixed finishes.

For the bathroom, it is worth verifying that the installation position complies with the safety zones established for luminaires in that environment. Well positioned, the wall light can provide very effective supplementary lighting in the bathroom without overcrowding the space.

Questions and answers

The 15W SMD LED source is integrated into the luminaire. There is no need to purchase any additional bulb. The wall light arrives ready for installation and use from the very first moment.

Is the opal glass diffuser removable for cleaning?

The diffuser is part of the wall light assembly. For cleaning, a soft, slightly damp cloth applied from the outside is recommended, with no need to remove it. Abrasive products that could damage the glass surface should not be used.

Is this wall light compatible with the standard electrical voltage in Spain?

Yes. The luminaire operates at a voltage of 220V-240V, which is the standard domestic voltage in Spain and in most of Europe. It does not require any additional adapter or transformer.
