Overview

The SCREEN beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate pathways, gardens, and parks. It is installed directly in the ground and provides uniform light throughout the space. If you are looking for a lamp that works in demanding weather conditions and does not require constant maintenance, this beacon is a solid option.

The SCREEN collection combines aluminum and polycarbonate in its construction, giving it stability against impacts and the elements. The 3000K color temperature creates a warm atmosphere without being too intense. The 360º version distributes light equally in all directions, while the wide variant projects illumination over a greater distance.

FARO is a company with experience in technical lighting for professional and residential use. Their products are designed to last and to integrate seamlessly into outdoor projects.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lamp, verify that the electrical supply point in the ground is properly channeled and protected against moisture. This beacon is fixed in the ground, so it is advisable to plan the cable routing during the construction or garden renovation phase. If the ground is soft, secure the base with a suitable anchor to keep the lamp stable and straight. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially for outdoor installations.

The aluminum body and PC diffuser do not require special products for cleaning. A damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild neutral detergent are sufficient. Avoid solvents or abrasive products that could damage the surface. Periodically check the connection points to ensure there is no accumulated moisture. Although the lamp has IP65 protection, it is advisable not to direct pressurized water jets directly at the joints.

Design and use

The SCREEN beacon is part of a technical outdoor lighting collection designed with durability and functionality in mind. The body is made of aluminum, a material that withstands temperature changes well and does not deteriorate with prolonged exposure to the elements. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to pass through unobstructed, maintaining the desired intensity and direction.

The IK10 rating is the highest level of protection against mechanical impacts. This means the lamp can be placed in public-use spaces, such as parks or pedestrian areas, without accidental impacts affecting its operation. The IP65 rating ensures that neither dust nor water in the form of rain can compromise the internal components. In a garden or a patio with direct exposure to rain, that protection is what makes the difference between a lamp that lasts and one that fails at the first winter.

The integrated COB LED light source emits at 3000K, a warm temperature reminiscent of candlelight or cozy indoor lighting. Outdoors, that tone avoids the cold feeling generated by white lights and creates a pleasant atmosphere when walking through the garden at night. It is not a powerful light that floods the space, but rather an illumination that guides and sets the mood without glare.

The 360º option is useful when you want to illuminate the space around the beacon in a balanced way, with no shadowed areas. It is a common solution on pathways flanked by beacons or in open spaces where the light needs to cover a wide radius. The wide variant, on the other hand, projects the beam over a greater distance, which is useful in longer corridors or entrances where you need to see the path clearly from afar.

The CASAMBI version allows you to control the lamp from an app, making it easier to manage the lighting in gardens with multiple beacons. Without needing to install a complex home automation system, it is possible to regulate when and how each light point turns on. This gives more control over energy consumption and over the atmosphere you want to create at any given moment.

The dark grey finish integrates the beacon into the surroundings without drawing attention during the day. It is not a decorative lamp seeking the spotlight; it is a functional lamp that does its job and goes unnoticed when it is not on. At 800 mm tall with a 160 x 160 mm base, it has a discreet presence that adapts well to both private gardens and communal spaces. The lantern complements stone, gravel, or wood paving effortlessly, and works equally well in a modern garden as in one with a more classic style.

Questions and answers

What is the difference between the 360º option and the wide variant of this beacon?

The 360º option distributes light symmetrically in all directions around the lamp, with no side being more illuminated than another. The wide variant, on the other hand, concentrates the emission in a wider angle facing forward, allowing the light to reach a greater distance. The choice depends on the type of space: if it is a circular pathway or an open area, the 360º option usually works better; if it is a long corridor or an entrance, the wide variant gives better results.

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

The COB LED light source is included in the lamp. There is no need to purchase it separately or carry out any additional installation related to the bulb.

What does it mean that this lamp has IP65 certification?

The IP65 rating indicates that the lamp is completely protected against dust and against water projected from any direction, such as rain or splashes. This makes it suitable for use in gardens or parks without any additional protection against typical weather conditions.
