Overview

The FARO RETRO 7L lamp is a hanging ceiling luminaire designed for those who want to bring a touch of real personality to their space. Designed by Alex & Manel Lluscà, it draws visual references from the 1960s and translates them into a piece with presence, without feeling overdone. The multiple canopy version with 7 lights allows for a wider distribution of lighting, making it especially useful in spaces where a larger surface area needs to be covered from a single ceiling point.

The matte black finish combined with copper details gives it a character of its own. It is not a lamp that goes unnoticed, but it does not compete with the rest of the furniture either. It works well in a living room, dining room, or any room where a specific style is desired without making major changes to the décor.

FARO is a Spanish brand with years of experience in residential lighting. Its catalog combines design and functionality, and the RETRO 7L collection is a good example of that balance.

Installation and specifications

Installation is carried out directly on the ceiling using the included canopy. As it is a pendant luminaire with an adjustable cable, it is advisable to set the height before fixing it definitively. It is recommended to have an electrician handle the connection, especially if no junction box is provided at the ceiling point. The lamp supports voltages between 100V and 240V, making it compatible with standard installations in Spain and Europe.

For maintenance, simply clean the steel surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the matte black finish. E14 LED bulbs are not included and must be purchased separately, respecting the maximum power indicated of 8W per light point.

Design and use

The RETRO 7L collection is born from a look at the aesthetics of the 1960s, a period in which interior design favored clean forms and materials with character. Alex & Manel Lluscà have captured that influence and translated it into a pendant lamp that works equally well in contemporary settings and in spaces with a more classic or vintage touch.

The lamp body is made of steel with a matte black finish. It is a material that provides solidity and a refined appearance, without adding unnecessary visual weight. The contrast between the black and the copper details is what defines the personality of this ceiling lamp, giving it a warm quality that balances the sobriety of the dark metal.

The 7-light version with a multiple canopy is designed for spaces that need greater light coverage or where a more striking decorative effect is desired. Seven light points distributed from the ceiling generate lighting that covers the area well without relying on a single central source. In a large dining room, for example, this type of pendant lamp can replace several independent luminaires and visually unify the whole.

In the living room, the RETRO 7L works especially well above a coffee table or in the reading area. Its presence is sufficient to visually anchor the space without the need to add other decorative elements. In the bedroom, placed at the right height, it provides warm, enveloping light that completely changes the perception of the room.

In the kitchen and dining room, where lighting must be functional as well as aesthetic, the 7 lights distributed from the ceiling allow for more balanced illumination. There are no marked shadow areas, and the tone offered by compatible LED bulbs can be adjusted according to the chosen color temperature.

The lamp also fits well in environments with natural materials such as wood or with straight-lined furniture. The matte black finish does not compete with other finishes, but rather complements them. On a dark or light wooden table, the effect is equally coherent. In an industrial-style bathroom or in a hallway with light-colored walls, the copper provides just the right contrast for the piece to stand out without overwhelming.

The total height of 1740 mm allows the cable to be adjusted to the ideal distance according to the ceiling height. In standard 2.50 m ceilings, there is sufficient margin to position the lamp at a comfortable height. The oval design of each light point contributes to a uniform distribution and a visually balanced appearance across the 7 lights.

Questions and answers

Does the RETRO 7L lamp include E14 LED bulbs?

No, the bulbs are not included. They must be purchased separately. Each light point accepts an E14 base bulb with a maximum power of 8W. It is recommended to use LED bulbs to make the most of energy consumption and durability.

Is it possible to adjust the height of the pendant lamp cable?

Yes. The lamp has a cable whose length can be adjusted during installation. The total height indicated is 1740 mm, but this value can be reduced by gathering the cable in the canopy according to the ceiling height of each space.

Is the matte black finish on the steel body resistant to everyday use?

Steel with a matte black finish is a durable material under normal interior use conditions. To keep it in good condition, simply clean the surface with a dry cloth. It is advisable to avoid aggressive cleaning products that could alter the finish over time.
