Overview

VICO is a pendant lamp from the collection of the same name, designed by FARO for interior spaces where a clean result with no unnecessary elements is desired. The line is simple, the finish is matte black, and the overall look fits well in both characterful interiors and more neutral environments. This version measures 1150 mm in length and is installed with the ceiling rose visible, giving it a more classic look without losing its modern appeal.

The lamp handles illumination well for long tables, countertops, or any area where focused and diffused light is needed. It does not create harsh shadows or concentrated light spots: the opal diffuser distributes brightness evenly along the entire piece. It is an option designed for those who want a ceiling lamp that works well without drawing too much attention.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in lighting for the home and professional spaces. Its products combine design sensibility with everyday materials, and are designed to be installed without complications and to last over time.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lamp, check that the ceiling light point has sufficient capacity to support the weight of the assembly. The wiring must be de-energized throughout the entire installation. If you have no experience with electrical installations, it is advisable to hire an electrician. The ceiling rose is fixed directly to the ceiling and covers the connection area, so the final finish is neat with no visible elements.

To clean the lamp, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the matte black finish of the aluminium body or the PC diffuser. Do not clean the lamp while the power is on. Periodically check that the suspension system is securely fixed to the ceiling.

Design and use

VICO is a linear suspension lamp that works particularly well in spaces where the table or work area marks the visual axis of the room. Its length of 1150 mm makes it suitable for medium to large dining tables, and it also fits in open kitchens where the aim is to visually define the preparation or dining area.

The body is made of aluminium with a matte black finish that does not reflect surrounding light. This allows the lamp to integrate easily into light-coloured walls or interiors where dark profiles act as a contrasting element. In a living room with light wood furniture, for example, the black body adds visual weight without overwhelming the overall look.

The opal diffuser covers the entire length of the piece and distributes light continuously. There are no areas brighter than others, and the colour temperature of 2700K produces a warm light, similar to that of a traditional incandescent bulb. This tone works best in rest or gathering areas, as it is neither cold nor harsh. In a well-proportioned bedroom, this type of light creates an atmosphere that invites you to unwind.

The lamp comes with the SMD LED light source already included, which simplifies installation and eliminates the need to find a compatible bulb separately. LED technology reduces consumption compared to other equivalent options, and the level of light it produces is sufficient to comfortably illuminate a table or kitchen countertop without the lamp being too intense.

The VICO collection allows you to choose between two lengths and between installing the ceiling rose on the surface or recessed. This version, with the surface-mounted ceiling rose, has a more classic profile that adapts well to interiors with mouldings, textured ceilings, or spaces where constructive detail is part of the design. In a large bathroom with an oversized mirror, a pendant lamp of this type can serve as a general lighting element if the dimensions of the space allow it.

In more neutral spaces, such as a long corridor or a passageway with a high ceiling, the linear form of VICO reinforces perspective and guides the eye without interrupting it. It does not occupy visual space aggressively, but it does not go unnoticed either. It is the type of lamp that transforms a characterless area into a space with a clear identity.

The assembly weighs 2.47 kg, a figure to bear in mind when verifying that the ceiling anchor point can support it without issue. The packaging includes everything needed for installation with the surface-mounted ceiling rose.

Questions and answers

Can the ceiling rose on this lamp be changed to a recessed installation after mounting?

This version is configured with a surface-mounted ceiling rose. The VICO collection offers that option as a distinct variant, so changing the installation mode is not intended once the version has been chosen.

Is the included LED light source replaceable if it fails?

The lamp incorporates integrated SMD LED technology. If you have questions about the type of light source and replacement options, we recommend contacting our team before installation.

Is this lamp suitable for standard ceiling heights, for example 2.5 metres?

Yes. With a height of only 32.5 mm, the lamp body takes up very little vertical space. It works well in standard ceiling heights without the piece hanging too low over the table or area of use.
