Overview

CALMA is a wall light by FARO, designed for those looking for a lamp that blends well with the space without drawing too much attention. Its brushed gold finish gives it a defined character without feeling overdone. The LED bulb is already included, so there is no need to look for anything else before installing it.

One of the things that sets it apart is its mounting flexibility: the wall light can be positioned vertically or horizontally depending on what fits best in the chosen spot. This allows it to adapt to different situations without forcing the design.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in lighting. Their products are aimed at domestic use and designed to last, with materials and finishes that maintain their appearance over time.

Installation and specifications

For installation, it is advisable to have an electrical connection point already prepared in the wall, either with cable outlet or a recessed box. Since the wall light supports vertical or horizontal orientation, the position must be decided before marking the anchor points. It is recommended to fix the screws into the solid structure of the wall, not just the surface finish. If there are any doubts about the wiring, it is best to consult an electrician.

The steel body with brushed gold finish can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Abrasive products or solvents that could damage the surface should be avoided. The glass part can also be wiped with a soft cloth, without excessive pressure. The bulb should not be handled directly with bare hands, as grease residue can affect its lifespan. Before any cleaning or inspection, always disconnect the power supply.

Design and use

The CALMA wall light has a simple and well-resolved structure. The body is made of steel with a brushed gold finish, a warm tone that is not bright gold but rather more restrained, with a matte texture that absorbs light instead of reflecting it aggressively. This makes it easier to combine with different decorative styles, from more classic interiors to cleaner and more contemporary designs.

The glass element is part of the assembly and helps diffuse light evenly. The light source is an S14D LED type with a colour temperature of 2700K, which corresponds to a warm light, close to that of a traditional filament. This type of light creates a calm atmosphere, without harshness, suitable for spaces where one wants to rest or simply feel at ease.

In the bedroom it works especially well on either side of the headboard, in a horizontal position, as an alternative to bedside lamps. It frees up surface space and gives a tidier visual appearance. The wall light can also be installed in a vertical position if the space between the headboard and the ceiling allows it or if the bedroom design calls for it.

In the living room it works as accent lighting, placed next to a painting, above a sideboard or in a corner where a warm point of light is needed without installing a floor lamp. The wall gains presence without overwhelming the overall composition.

In the kitchen, where wall lights are not always considered, it can be a practical solution for illuminating work areas or adding light to a specific corner where the general lighting does not reach well. Its compact size, with 300 mm in length and barely 25 mm in height, takes up very little visual space.

In the dining room it can be placed on the side wall to complement the main lighting above the table. Two symmetrical wall lights at the same height create a balanced effect without requiring a large budget or complicated installation.

Hallways are another space where this type of lamp fits well. In passageways, a wall light placed at mid-height guides without glaring. CALMA has a very discreet profile that does not interfere with movement and does not protrude in a way that causes obstruction.

The bathroom is one of the places where warm light is most appreciated. Installed next to the mirror, whether one or two wall lights on either side, it provides more flattering illumination than light coming from above. In bathrooms it can also be placed on the wall facing the mirror or in a shower area if the environment allows it. The combination of steel and glass is common in this type of space because it withstands ambient humidity well without losing visual presence.

The design of CALMA does not impose a single style. The brushed gold works well alongside polished concrete surfaces, light wood or white finishes. It also fits in interiors with Nordic design elements or in more eclectic settings where different eras and materials coexist.

Questions and answers

Can the CALMA wall light be installed in both vertical and horizontal positions without losing stability?

Yes. The wall light's design allows both orientations. The steel structure maintains the same rigidity regardless of how it is positioned, as long as the anchoring is done correctly on the wall.

Is the included S14D LED bulb replaceable if it breaks?

Yes. The bulb is included from the outset, but should it fail over time, it can be replaced with another of the same S14D LED type. This is a format available in specialist lighting stores.

Does the brushed gold finish hold up well in the humid environment of a bathroom?

The brushed gold finish on steel is suitable for environments with normal ambient humidity, such as those found in a domestic bathroom. To keep it in good condition, simply wipe it with a dry cloth from time to time and avoid direct contact with water.
