Overview

TENDER is a ceiling light designed for spaces where light needs to be consistent and unobtrusive. Its square format of 450 mm and its light grey finish make it compatible with interiors where the design is not meant to draw attention, but to complement. It is a lamp that works well in a large kitchen, a quiet bedroom, or a dining room where real time is spent.

The light it emits is warm, at 2700K, which means the atmosphere it creates is closer to that of a traditional lamp than to that of an office. There are no areas more illuminated than others: the opal diffuser distributes the light evenly throughout the room. The result is a clean-looking ceiling and a space that feels comfortable.

FARO is a brand with years of experience in indoor and outdoor lighting. Its products combine technical criteria with a home style that fits real homes, not just catalogues.

Installation and specifications

For installation, a junction box on the ceiling or wall prepared for fixing the unit is required. Since the lamp weighs 3.8 kg, the support must be anchored to a solid material, either concrete or structural timber. It is not recommended to fix it solely to plasterboard without specific anchors for that material. Before connecting, check that the installation voltage is 220V–240V. If you do not have experience with electrical installations, the safest option is to call an electrician.

To keep the ceiling light in good condition, clean the steel body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid products containing chlorine or solvents. The PC diffuser can be cleaned in the same way. Do not use scourers or abrasive materials. Always disconnect the lamp from the power supply before any cleaning or inspection task.

Design and use

The TENDER ceiling light is designed for those looking for a ceiling lamp that does not complicate things. The body is made of steel, with a light grey finish, a colour that does not dominate the space but does not go completely unnoticed either. It is the kind of modern design that works in contemporary interiors without requiring the rest of the room to follow a specific style.

The diffuser is made of polycarbonate with an opal finish. This material diffuses light well and does not yellow over time as other plastics do. The result is that the lamp continues to provide clean illumination even after years of use. There are no visible hot spots, no sharp shadows on the ceiling: just light distributed in a calm, even manner.

The SMD LED light source is already included, so there is no need to worry about purchasing anything else before installation. It operates at 2700K, a temperature that produces warm light, close to that provided by traditional bulbs. This type of light is what makes a dining room feel welcoming at dinner time, or a bedroom invite rest as night falls.

In a kitchen, this lamp provides good general lighting if the space is not excessively large. The modern design of the ceiling light does not clash with white, grey, or wood furniture. In bedrooms used daily, the warmth of 2700K makes the transition from afternoon to night smoother. In a dining room where a relaxed atmosphere is desired without installing pendant lights, this ceiling light works well without needing additional elements.

The dimensions — 450 mm per side and 82 mm in height — allow it to be installed on standard ceilings without the lamp standing out excessively. It does not take up space downward, which is useful in rooms with limited ceiling height. The 24W power output is sufficient for general lighting in medium-sized spaces. If you are looking for something for a kitchen counter or a dining counter with a larger surface area, it can be combined with other light points.

The light grey finish works well with white walls, neutral tones, or even darker colours if the rest of the space is balanced. It is one of those modern lights that do not draw attention but are noticed when they are absent. The sober and timeless style of TENDER fits interiors that do not want to follow specific trends, but rather find something that stands the test of time.

As for installation, the ceiling light is fixed directly to the ceiling or wall. There are no hanging cables or additional structures. The visual result is clean and tidy, as befits a design conceived to coexist with the space without interference.

Questions and answers

Can the TENDER ceiling light be installed on both the ceiling and the wall?

Yes. The fixing is designed for surface mounting, allowing it to be installed on the ceiling or on the wall depending on the needs of the space.

Is the LED light source already included in the TENDER ceiling light?

Yes, the lamp includes an integrated SMD LED light source. No additional components need to be purchased for it to function.

Does the opal polycarbonate diffuser affect the amount of light that reaches the room?

The opal diffuser distributes light evenly and eliminates direct glare. The distribution is uniform across the entire illuminated surface, without significantly reducing the perceived intensity in the space.
