Overview

The FARO TIDE 300 wall light is a wall lamp designed specifically for the bathroom. It can be placed either beside a mirror or above it, which provides flexibility when planning the lighting. The chrome finish fits well in bathrooms with taps and accessories in the same tone, and does not look out of place in spaces with a more neutral or contemporary style.

The integrated LED technology works at 3000K, a colour temperature that approximates warm light. This range illuminates the face well without distorting colours, which is important when the mirror is used for daily grooming. The wall light consumes 6W, making it an efficient option for continuous use.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in indoor and outdoor lighting. Its products combine functionality with careful design, intended for both interior design projects and domestic use.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, it is recommended to have a power outlet or pre-existing wiring in the area where the lamp will be placed. It is fixed directly to the wall using the included anchors. Before starting the installation, it is essential to cut the power at the electrical panel. If you do not have experience with electrical installations, the safest option is to delegate the work to an electrician.

The aluminium body with chrome finish is easy to clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or those containing chlorine, as they can damage the finish. The PMMA diffuser can be cleaned in the same way. Do not directly wet the electrical connections or the interior of the wall light.

Design and use

The TIDE 300 is a linear surface lamp designed to be installed on the wall, beside or above a bathroom mirror. Its body measures 300mm in length and just 39mm in height, giving it a discreet profile that does not take up unnecessary visual space. The depth of 78mm allows the wall light to protrude just enough to distribute light well to the sides.

The body is made of aluminium, a material that resists moisture and the passage of time better than other heavier metals. The chrome finish gives it a clean and tidy appearance, consistent with bathroom environments where reflective surfaces such as mirrors, tiles or metal accessories predominate. This type of finish is easy to maintain and does not lose its appearance with regular use.

The diffuser is made of PMMA with an opal finish. This material diffuses light evenly, preventing the LED from being directly visible through the cover. The result is a soft light that does not create bright spots or sharp shadows, especially useful when the wall light is used next to a mirror where facial lighting matters.

The colour temperature of 3000K produces a warm light that is neither cold nor clinical. In the bathroom, this range works well for morning grooming or make-up, as it represents colours quite faithfully. The 6W LED lamp is integrated, so there is no need to purchase any additional light source to start using it.

Although it is conceived for the bathroom, this wall light can find a place in other spaces where discreet linear lighting is desired. In a narrow hallway, a lamp of this size can be installed above a mirror or a picture to add light without taking up too much space. In a bedroom, placed on the wall beside the headboard, it can serve as reading light or ambient lighting. In certain kitchen designs, the wall light can complement the lighting under the tall cabinets.

In the living room or dining room, this type of lamp is often used as accent lighting, directed towards a specific area of the room. If the dining room wall has a decorative element worth highlighting, a linear wall light like the TIDE 300 can fulfil that function without drawing too much attention to itself. In the living room, installed above a low piece of furniture or beside a bookshelf, it provides an additional layer of light that complements the main lighting of the room.

The chrome finish of the wall light harmonises with interiors of straight lines and smooth surfaces, although it can also be integrated into more eclectic environments if the rest of the space already has metallic details. It is not a lamp that seeks to be the centre of attention, but rather one that adapts to the environment where it is placed.

Questions and answers

Can the TIDE 300 wall light be installed both above and beside the bathroom mirror?

Yes. The linear design of the wall light allows it to be placed in both positions, above or to the sides of the mirror, depending on the wiring available in the wall and the lighting preference.

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

The SMD LED lamp is integrated into the wall light and is included. It is not necessary to purchase any additional bulb to be able to use it from the very first moment.

Does the opal diffuser of the TIDE 300 prevent direct glare from the LED?

Yes. The PMMA material with opal finish disperses the light before it leaves the wall light, so the LED is not visible to the naked eye. This produces uniform lighting without concentrated light spots.
