Overview

The SOLE wall light by FARO is a round-shaped wall lamp with a ribbed structure in a black finish. It works well in entryways, hallways, bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms where directed lighting is needed without taking up ceiling space. Its design allows light to be emitted from one or both sides, providing more options when planning how to illuminate a room.

The lamp is made from aluminium and steel, materials that provide stability without adding weight. The matte black finish with ribbed texture gives it its own character without being overly eye-catching. It is a modern option that adapts to both more understated interiors and spaces with a mix of materials and styles.

FARO is a Spanish brand with years of experience in indoor and outdoor lighting. Their products combine functionality and careful design, conceived for different home environments.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, a flush-mount box or an electrical connection point in the wall is required. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician. Before starting, make sure the power is switched off. The wall light is compatible with voltages between 100V and 240V, so it works with most domestic installations. The GU10 LED bulb is not included and must be purchased separately.

To keep the lamp in good condition, simply clean the surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the black finish. Do not handle the electrical components while the power is connected. Replace the bulb only when the wall light is disconnected from the mains.

Design and use

The SOLE wall light has a compact profile that makes it useful in spaces where room is tight. With 155 mm in height, 80 mm in length, and 65 mm in depth, the lamp does not protrude too far from the wall, yet it creates a clear visual presence thanks to its circular shape and the ribbed texture of the body.

The black finish in aluminium and steel gives it a solid appearance. The ribbed structure is not merely decorative: it adds rigidity to the whole and at the same time breaks up the uniformity of a smooth surface, adding detail without the need for additional ornaments. The result is a modern lamp with its own character.

One of the distinguishing features of this wall light is the ability to direct light towards one or both sides. This allows the lighting to be adapted according to the use of the space. In a hallway, it can be used to project light in both directions and avoid shadowy areas. In a bedroom, it can be directed to one side to illuminate a reading corner without disturbing the rest of the room.

In the living room, the wall light can be placed at mid-height on a neutral wall or next to a low piece of furniture to create ambient lighting that complements the main light source. In the dining room, it works well as supplementary lighting, especially on side walls where a ceiling lamp does not always cover all angles effectively.

In bathrooms and restrooms, the lamp fits without any issues on walls next to the mirror or in transition areas. The black finish holds up well in environments with some ambient humidity, although it is not designed to be installed directly in shower or splash zones. In kitchens, it can be used above worktops or on walls near work areas as supplementary lighting.

The SOLE design combines well with other black-finish elements: taps, door frames, shelving profiles, or furniture with metal legs. It also contrasts cleanly against white, grey, or earth-toned walls. If the space features wood in floors or furniture, the black of the wall light acts as a visual counterbalance without disrupting the overall equilibrium.

In rooms with a more industrial style or a mix of materials — concrete, metal, wood — the wall light fits naturally. Its finish and form also make it compatible with interiors of cleaner, more contemporary lines, where each element has a defined role.

The use of a GU10 LED bulb allows for efficient energy consumption. The maximum power of 8W is sufficient to provide functional lighting in medium-sized spaces, and compatibility with voltages from 100V to 240V makes it easy to use without adapters in different installations.

Weighing 0,26 kg, wall installation requires no special reinforcement. It is a lightweight lamp that mounts directly and places no additional load on the surface.

Questions and answers

Can the SOLE wall light emit light in both directions at the same time?

Yes. This wall light can emit light from one or both sides depending on how it is configured at the time of installation. It is a practical option for hallways or spaces where lighting is needed in two directions from a single point on the wall.

Is the GU10 LED bulb included with the lamp?

No, the light source is not included. It is necessary to purchase separately a GU10 LED bulb compatible with a maximum power of 8W.

Is the body of the wall light made entirely of aluminium or does it include other materials?

The body is made from aluminium and steel. This combination provides structural resistance while keeping the weight very low, at 0,26 kg in total.
