Overview

PRESS is a wall light designed by Jordi Blasi for the brand FARO. Its name says it all: the aluminium body itself acts as a switch, and a light press is all it takes to turn the lamp on or off. No searching for a wall switch, no visible cables, no separate mechanisms.

This wall light is designed as a reading light or accent light. It is a concrete solution for anyone who needs localised lighting next to the bed, in the hallway, in the bathroom, or in any corner where a focused light makes more sense than a general one. The beam is projected through a slim structure, allowing the light to be directed exactly where it is needed.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior and exterior lighting. Their products combine functionality and design without complicating the buyer's life. The PRESS wall light is a good example of that philosophy: a lamp that solves an everyday need with a clean form and an intuitive mechanism.

Installation and specifications

Installing this wall light requires an electrical connection point in the wall. Mounting is directly onto a flat surface. Before starting, disconnect the power at the electrical panel. If you have no experience with electrical installations, it is advisable to have an electrician carry out the work. Make sure the wall support is firm and suitable for the weight of the wall light.

The aluminium surface can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the yellow finish. Do not handle the lamp with wet hands or use it in areas with very high humidity unless it is specified for such use. As this is a wall light with an integrated touch-switch function, no force is needed when pressing it.

Design and use

The PRESS wall light has a round shape and a compact profile. Its dimensions are discreet — 104 mm in diameter and 213 mm in height — allowing it to fit effortlessly in small spaces. In a narrow hallway, beside the bed in the bedroom, above the bathroom mirror, or in a corner of the living room where an additional light is needed, this wall light takes up little space and provides exactly what is needed.

The body is made of aluminium, a material that combines lightness and durability. The glossy yellow finish gives it a clear visual character: it does not go unnoticed, but it does not compete with the rest of the space either. It is a lamp with presence without being imposing. Depending on the style of the interior, it can fit into modern environments or into décors with more personal and colourful touches.

The most striking feature of this wall light is that the body itself acts as a switch. There is no separate button, nothing to search for. A light press on the structure and the lamp responds. It is a detail that, once experienced, is hard to forget. In the bedroom, for example, turning the light on or off without moving too much is exactly the kind of comfort that does not seem important until you have it.

The integrated LED emits light at 3000K, a warm colour temperature that feels close and pleasant. It is not a cold or technical light, but the kind of tone that suits a quiet reading session, a conversation in the living room, or the bathroom atmosphere in the morning. At 3W of power, consumption is very low, and the light source is already included, so the wall light is ready to install from day one.

As an accent light in the dining room, this wall light can complement the general lighting without overwhelming the space. In the kitchen, placed in a work area or next to the worktop, it provides localised light that makes tasks easier without having to rely solely on ceiling lighting. In hallways it serves a practical function: marking the path without over-illuminating, with that warm tone that is not hard on the eyes in low-light moments.

Jordi Blasi's design starts from a simple idea: that form and function are one and the same. In this case, the result is a lamp with no superfluous elements. Everything you see has a reason for being there. That coherence is precisely what makes the PRESS wall light integrate well into spaces where visual order matters.

As for combinations with other interior elements, the glossy yellow colour works as an accent. It can accompany neutral spaces where a touch of colour is desired, or join interiors that are already more vibrant and open to mixing. It is not a lamp that demands a specific decorative context — it accepts variations according to the taste of whoever chooses it.

Questions and answers

Can the LED lamp included in the PRESS wall light be replaced if it breaks?

The PRESS wall light includes an integrated SMD LED light source. This type of LED is not designed to be replaced by the user in a conventional way. If the LED were to stop working, we recommend contacting our customer service team before making any modifications.

What colour temperature does this wall light emit and what type of use is it best suited for?

The lamp emits light at 3000K, which is a warm tone. It is suitable for spaces where a relaxed atmosphere is desired, such as the bedroom, the bathroom, or a reading area. It is not a cold or technical light, but a tone that is comfortable for everyday use.

Does the switching mechanism integrated into the body of the wall light work with any standard electrical installation?

Yes. The PRESS wall light operates at a standard voltage of 220V–240V, compatible with the usual domestic electrical installation. The switch is integrated into the aluminium structure itself and does not require additional wiring or external mechanisms.
