Overview

PRESS is a wall light from the collection designed by Jordi Blasi for FARO, a brand with years of experience in interior lighting. The lamp was designed for spaces where support or reading light is needed: bedroom, living room, hallway, bathroom. The wall light works well in any room where a focused light helps without invading the general atmosphere.

What sets this lamp apart is its switch integrated into the body itself. There is no need to look for a switch on the wall or pull a cable: the structure is pressed lightly and the light activates. It is a design detail that simplifies daily use and keeps the space tidy. The wall light has a round shape and is made of aluminium with a gloss black finish, giving it a modern and clean look.

FARO has been developing luminaires for residential spaces for decades. Their products combine functionality and careful design, intended for those looking for solutions that fit well in the home without complications.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, the base must be fixed directly to the vertical surface. It is advisable to verify that the chosen area has access to a power outlet or that an electrician prepares the wiring before installation. The wall light is lightweight, so it does not require special anchors on plasterboard or similar walls, although it is advisable to use the appropriate type of plug depending on the wall material. Before connecting, make sure the electrical installation is compatible with 220V–240V.

To clean the lamp, a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Do not use abrasive products or solvents on the gloss black finish, as they can damage the aluminium surface. Always disconnect the wall light from the power supply before cleaning or handling any part of the luminaire. The LED light source is included and does not need to be replaced frequently, but if you do so, consult the maximum wattage specifications indicated.

Design and use

The PRESS wall light has a compact structure that adapts to different spaces in the home. In the bedroom, it works as a reading lamp fixed next to the headboard, offering a warm 3000K light that is not harsh during moments of rest. Its directed beam illuminates exactly where needed without disturbing the rest of the room. In the living room, it can be used as a support light next to a sofa or in a reading corner, providing a point of light without needing to install a floor or table lamp.

In the bathroom, the wall light fits well due to its clean shape and durable finish. Installed next to the mirror or in a passageway, it provides functional light without taking up space. In the kitchen, it can serve to illuminate a specific work area, such as a countertop or a preparation area. And in hallways, its small size and flat design mean it does not get in the way either visually or physically.

The aluminium construction gives it a solidity that is noticeable to the touch. The gloss black finish provides a refined and modern look that fits well with contemporary-style interiors or with spaces that combine materials such as wood or more austere design elements. It is not a lamp that draws too much attention, but it does not go unnoticed either: it has presence without being overwhelming.

The switching system integrated into the body of the wall light is perhaps the most interesting element from a practical point of view. Pressing the structure lightly to turn the light on or off may seem like a small thing, but it changes the user experience. You do not have to move from where you are to turn the lamp on, which is especially convenient in the bedroom or living room when you are already settled in.

The 3000K colour temperature produces a warm light, similar to that of a traditional bulb, suitable for spaces where a relaxed atmosphere is desired. It is not a cold working light, but an ambient light that makes the space more welcoming. The included LED consumes only 3 W, which represents very low energy consumption for daily use.

The PRESS wall light fits well both in homes undergoing renovation and in spaces that simply want a specific lighting change. It requires no building work, creates no installation complications and, once in place, operates discreetly and reliably. It is a practical solution for those who want to improve the lighting in a particular room without investing much time or effort in the process.
