Overview

The KOMBO lamp by FARO is a pendant luminaire designed for those looking for a simple way to add character to a space without resorting to overly elaborate solutions. Its cylindrical shade in grey, made of metal, provides a clear presence without taking up too much visual space. The 40 cm diameter makes it a balanced option: large enough to light a table or work area well, but without dominating the overall look.

This version comes with a plug and five metres of cable, allowing it to be placed without the need for fixed electrical installation. The hook is included. It is a practical solution for rooms where intervention in the ceiling wiring is not desired or not possible.

FARO is a brand with a track record in interior lighting design. Its products combine functionality with clean lines, and the KOMBO series is a good example of that philosophy: geometric shapes, consistent finishes and a structure that adapts to different environments.

Installation and specifications

Before hanging the lamp, make sure the ceiling hook is fixed to a solid point capable of supporting the weight of the assembly. The five-metre cable allows the height to be adjusted according to the space. Plug it into a standard socket and check that the installation voltage is compatible with the indicated range. No electrician is required for installation in this plug version.

To clean the metal shade, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish. Always unplug the lamp before cleaning it. Do not install a bulb with a power rating higher than 15 W. Remember that the light source is not included: you will need to purchase an E27 LED bulb separately.

Design and use

The KOMBO series by FARO works with a clear idea: a cylindrical upper structure in black that acts as a unifying element throughout the entire family, regardless of the size or finish chosen. In this version, the oval shade in metallic grey hangs from that cylinder with a sober and well-resolved presence. There are no unnecessary embellishments. The geometry is everything.

The shade, 40 cm in diameter, has a profile reminiscent of classic workshop or studio lamps, but with a more modern language. The combination of black on the upper part and grey on the shade works well both in interiors with industrial finishes and in more neutral or domestic spaces. It is not a lamp that imposes a specific style; rather, it adapts to what is already there.

In the dining room, placed above the table, it concentrates the light exactly where it is needed and visually defines the gathering space. The cable height, adjustable thanks to the five metres available, allows you to find the exact point according to the ceiling height and the distance to the table. In a kitchen with a central island or a long worktop, this pendant can work alone or in combination with other units from the same series to create an orderly visual line.

In the living room, above a coffee table or in a reading corner, it provides a more intimate and ambient light. It is not the main lamp of the space, but one that defines zones and adds depth to the whole. In a bedroom, it can replace the conventional ceiling lamp if a low installation height and a more intimate result are sought. The long cable allows for that kind of adjustment.

The oval shade has a design that directs light downwards, making it especially useful in situations where functional lighting is needed over a specific surface. The metallic grey finish is durable and easy to maintain. The steel body guarantees solidity without adding excessive weight: at under two kilos, the lamp does not require special anchoring.

This plug version is the most versatile in the series in terms of installation. It does not require intervention in the electrical circuit, making it ideal for rental properties or for those who want to change the lighting without any building work. All you need is a hook in the ceiling and a nearby socket. The black cable blends into the overall look without drawing too much attention.

Compatibility with E27 LED bulbs allows you to choose the colour temperature according to the atmosphere you want to achieve: a warmer light for the living room or bedroom, a cooler one for the kitchen or bathroom. That flexibility, combined with the way the design itself directs light with precision, makes this pendant a more versatile lighting tool than it appears at first glance.

Questions and answers

Does this lamp require fixed electrical installation or is a socket enough?

This version of KOMBO comes with a plug and five metres of cable, so it does not require electrical installation. It plugs directly into a standard socket. You only need to fix the included hook to the ceiling to hang it.

Does the ceiling hook support the weight of the lamp?

The lamp weighs 1,67 kg. The included hook is designed for this use, but it is important to fix it to a solid point on the ceiling, not just to the cladding or false ceiling. If you have any doubts about the resistance of the support, consult a professional before installing it.

What type of bulb do I need to buy for this lamp?

The lamp uses an E27 socket and accepts a maximum power of 15 W. The bulb is not included. It is recommended to use an E27 LED bulb within that power limit.
