Overview

TAST is a round recessed light by FARO, made of aluminum with a matte white finish. It is installed in the ceiling and sits completely flush with the surface, with no visible elements protruding. It is a lamp designed for those seeking discreet and clean lighting in interior spaces.

This type of lamp works well in kitchens, hallways, bedrooms, or dining rooms, where direct light is needed without taking up visual space. The round, compact design allows it to blend easily into smooth ceilings or those with modern finishes. The COB LED light source is already included, so there is no need to search for bulbs separately.

FARO is a brand with a track record in the home lighting world. Its products combine durable materials with a functional style, designed for real use in apartments and homes.

Installation and specifications

Before installing this lamp, make sure the ceiling is thick enough to accommodate the recessed fixture and that there is access to the electrical wiring from above. The recess required for installation must match the total diameter indicated in the specifications. It is recommended to cut the ceiling to the exact measurement so that the ring fits properly. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, as it involves direct connection to the 220V–240V electrical mains.

For cleaning, simply wipe the aluminum surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or liquids that may damage the matte white finish. Do not handle the lamp while the power is on. Since the light source is integrated, it does not require bulb replacement during its normal service life.

Design and use

The TAST by FARO is a recessed ceiling light with an aluminum body and matte white finish. Its shape is round, with a diameter of 55 mm, making it a lamp with very compact dimensions. It protrudes no more than 28 mm from the ceiling plane, so it is barely noticeable when off and integrates effortlessly into any surface.

The color temperature of 2700K produces a warm light, similar to that of a traditional bulb. This tone is pleasant in bedrooms and secondary bedrooms, where a calm atmosphere is desired at night. It also works well in the dining room, where overly cool lighting can feel unwelcoming.

The aluminum body provides solidity without adding weight. The complete piece weighs less than 150 grams, which makes handling easier during installation. The matte white finish does not reflect light directly, which in spaces with multiple lights helps to avoid annoying glare. If you decide to install several recessed lights in a row, for example above a kitchen bar or along a hallway, the neutral tone of the finish allows the ensemble to have a tidy and coherent appearance.

In the kitchen, this type of recessed light is commonly placed above the countertop or work surface to provide functional lighting without installing a pendant lamp that takes up vertical space. This is especially useful in kitchens with low ceilings or in spaces where the overall design is clean and free of distracting elements.

In the dining room, recessed ceiling lights allow light to be distributed more evenly than a central ceiling lamp. Combined with other ambient lights, they create an atmosphere without harsh shadows. The understated style of the TAST adapts well to both interiors with modern furniture and more neutral spaces.

For the bedroom, the low power of 5W is sufficient as a spot or orientation light. Installed near the bed or in a dressing room, it provides soft light without warming the atmosphere. In children's bedrooms it can also function as a fixed night light integrated into the ceiling, with no cables or protruding elements that might attract children's attention.

The restrained style and matte white finish make this lamp fit into modern interiors without the need to seek complicated combinations. It is one of those fixtures that is noticed by its result, not by its physical presence. In interior design, small-format recessed lights are used precisely for that: to illuminate without drawing attention.

The modern design of the TAST allows it to be integrated into projects where visual consistency between all ceiling elements is sought. Alongside larger ceiling fixtures or other modern recessed lights, it keeps the ensemble cohesive without any piece standing out. It is a practical option when you want to update the lighting without changing the overall look of the space.

Questions and answers

What size hole do I need to make in the ceiling to install the TAST?

The total diameter of the recessed light is 55 mm, so the hole in the ceiling must match that measurement so that the ring fits properly and sits flush with the surface.

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

The COB LED light source is already included in the product. You do not need to purchase any additional bulb to use the lamp from the very first moment.

What color temperature does the light emitted by this recessed fixture correspond to?

The TAST emits light at 2700K, which is a warm tone. This type of light is common in rest areas and spaces where a less cool atmosphere is preferred compared to neutral or cool white light.
