Overview

The NUBO 150 wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for spaces where humidity is part of everyday life. It works well in bathrooms and hallways, thanks to its IP44 protection, which makes it suitable for areas where water may splash or steam is common. It requires no special installation conditions beyond those already present in any standard bathroom.

The light it emits is warm, at 2700K, which translates into a soft, unobtrusive tone. This type of lighting makes the space look more welcoming, without the coldness found in many general-purpose lamps. The opal glass diffuser distributes light evenly, with no bright spots or harsh shadows.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior lighting. Its products combine solid technical criteria with a design that fits different types of environments. The NUBO 150 wall light is an example of that: simple, functional, and well executed.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the wall light, make sure the electrical circuit is switched off at the main panel. As a wall lamp with direct mounting, it requires a recessed box in the wall from which the wiring emerges. The total weight is 0.5 kg, so any standard wall can support it without issue. If the wall light is to be installed in the bathroom, take into account the safety zones established by current electrical regulations. The IP44 protection makes it suitable for areas where splashing may occur, but not for direct shower installations. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician.

For maintenance, simply clean the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the matte white aluminium finish. The glass diffuser can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use scourers or products that may scratch. Always disconnect the power before any cleaning.

Design and use

The body of the NUBO 150 wall light is made of aluminium with a matte white finish. It is a material that withstands ambient humidity well, does not rust easily, and maintains a clean appearance over time. Matte white is a neutral tone that does not draw attention to itself, allowing the wall light to blend effortlessly into most environments. Whether the walls are white, light-toned, or grey, this lamp fits in without generating excessive contrast.

The opal glass diffuser is what gives the wall light its visual character. It is not transparent, so the LED light source is not visible directly. Light passes through the glass and is distributed softly, without glare. This is especially useful in the bathroom, where one is close to the lamp and sometimes with little distance between the eyes and the light source. With this type of diffuser, the experience is much more comfortable.

In the bathroom, the wall light can be installed either above the mirror or on the side wall, depending on the layout of the space. If placed above the mirror, it provides direct, even lighting for face washing or shaving. If positioned on the side wall, it contributes more to the general ambience of the room. In either case, the warm light at 2700K avoids the operating-room effect that some bathroom lamps with a high colour temperature produce.

In hallways, this wall lamp works as a point of light orientation. It does not need to be the only light source, but it does provide continuity and makes moving through the space more pleasant. The compact size, 120 x 120 mm base, allows it to be installed in narrow hallways without the wall light protruding too far into the interior. Only 90 mm in depth, which is quite discreet.

It can also work well in a bedroom if a soft ambient light is desired, or in a small dining room where lateral lighting needs reinforcing without adding more ceiling light points. In the living room, it can complement other light sources and lend a warmer tone to the overall space. The temperature of 2700K is exactly what is associated with relaxed atmospheres, without being overly yellow.

The design of the NUBO 150 is clean and unornamented. It has no elements that place it in a specific style, making it compatible with modern, Nordic, or even more classic interiors if the rest of the space allows. It is a lamp that does not seek to stand out, but rather does its job well without interfering with everything else.

Questions and answers

Can the NUBO 150 wall light be installed directly in the shower or bathtub area?

No. The IP44 protection shields it against water splashes, but it is not designed to be installed in areas with a direct water jet such as the inside of a shower. It can be placed in the bathroom, respecting the safety zones established by electrical regulations.

Is the LED bulb included with the wall light?

No, the light source is not included. The wall light is prepared to work with a compatible SMD LED source, but it must be purchased separately. Check that it is compatible with the maximum indicated power, 9.7 W, and with the voltage of 220V-240V.

Does the opal glass diffuser affect the amount of light that reaches the space?

The opal glass slightly reduces light intensity compared to a transparent diffuser, but in return it eliminates glare and distributes light much more evenly. In spaces such as the bathroom or hallway, that balance is usually preferable to a more intense but less comfortable light.
