Overview

The FARO RUSH 800 beacon is an outdoor lamp designed to be installed directly in the ground. It is intended to illuminate paths in gardens, access ways to single-family homes, parks and open-air spaces where downward or omnidirectional light is needed. It is a practical solution for those who want their outdoor area well lit without overhead cables or complex structures.

The RUSH 800 collection stands out for its robust construction in aluminium and transparent polycarbonate, two materials that combine strength and durability. It features an IP65 protection rating against rain and solid particles, and an impact resistance of IK10. This makes it a suitable lamp for environments where weather or daily use can be demanding.

FARO is a Spanish company with years of experience in indoor and outdoor lighting. Its catalogue ranges from decorative lamps to technical luminaires for professional and residential use.

Installation and specifications

To install this beacon correctly, it is necessary to prepare the anchor point in the ground before placing it. The fixing is in the ground, so it is advisable to plan the electrical wiring route in advance, ideally underground and with suitable outdoor protection. The connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician or a person with sufficient electrical knowledge. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to 220V–240V before connecting.

To keep the lamp in good condition, clean the body surface with a damp cloth without abrasive products. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser may accumulate dust or dirt over time; simply clean it with water and mild soap. Do not use solvents or aggressive chemical products. Periodically check the condition of the anchors and the sealing of the body to ensure that the IP65 continues to fulfil its function.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 beacon has a height of 800 mm, which places it at a visible passing height without becoming a dominant element in the space. Its aluminium body finished in dark grey gives it a neutral appearance that integrates well in gardens with vegetation as well as in paved access ways or more technical use areas. It is not a lamp that seeks to draw attention: it is there to fulfil a function and to do so discreetly.

The transparent polycarbonate diffuser reveals the light source inside, which in this case is a 20 W COB LED. This type of source concentrates the diodes in a single point, allowing a more uniform and controlled light emission. The colour temperature of 4000K sits in an intermediate zone: neither warm nor cold, which facilitates good visibility without creating an overly clinical atmosphere.

One of the variants available in the collection is the 360º option, which distributes the illumination symmetrically around the beacon. It is useful for marking paths or bordering areas where coverage in all directions is needed. The wide variant, on the other hand, projects light over a greater horizontal distance, which is useful for illuminating larger surfaces from a single point.

The DALI version allows the lamp to be integrated into more complex lighting control systems, with the possibility of regulating the light intensity from a central panel. This makes it suitable for projects where outdoor lighting with a certain level of intelligent management is sought, although it also works without the need for any additional system.

The IK10 impact resistance is the highest level on the scale and guarantees that the body withstands direct impacts without deforming or cracking. Combined with the IP65, which protects against dust and pressurised water, it makes it a lamp designed to withstand real outdoor use conditions. This sets it apart from many garden luminaires that are only designed for light rain.

As for its location, the beacon fits well in private gardens, at the entrance to single-family homes, in terrace or patio areas with marked paths, or in communal spaces such as car parks or landscaped areas of buildings. It can be combined with other outdoor lights of the same neutral tone to achieve coherent lighting throughout the space.

The use of ground-level beacon-type lamps in gardens has a practical advantage over lanterns or height-mounted lights: it avoids shadow areas at ground level, where it matters most to see clearly where one is walking.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between the 360º option and the wide variant of the RUSH 800?

The 360º option distributes light symmetrically in all directions around the beacon, which is useful for marking paths or edges. The wide variant projects light over a greater horizontal distance, and is more suitable when a larger surface needs to be covered from a fixed point.

Does the RUSH 800 lamp include the LED light source?

Yes, the 20 W COB LED light source is already included. No additional components need to be purchased for the beacon to work.

What level of protection against rain does this outdoor beacon offer?

The RUSH 800 beacon has IP65 protection, which means it resists dust and direct pressurised water. It is suitable for permanent outdoor installations, even in areas with frequent rainfall or garden irrigation.
