Overview

The OVO wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for residential lighting. Its compact shape and matte white finish fit well in a bedroom, living room, kitchen, or bathroom without drawing too much attention. It is not a piece that dominates the space, but rather integrates discreetly and performs its function reliably.

What sets this wall light apart is the ability to orient the diffuser. Depending on how you want to direct the light, you can adjust its position and adapt it to what you need at any given moment. This makes it a versatile option, useful both for illuminating a specific area and for creating a more diffused ambiance in the room.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in the lighting industry. Its products combine design criteria with attention to technical details, aimed primarily at domestic use.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light correctly, an existing electrical point on the wall is required. The fixture is mounted directly onto the vertical surface. Since the body is made of steel and weighs over one kilogram, it is important to ensure that the anchoring is secure and firmly attached to the wall. If the wall is made of drywall or hollow material, it is recommended to use specific plugs for that type of surface. Electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Please note that the lamp does not include a bulb, so you will need to purchase an R7S LED 118 mm light source separately before use.

To keep the wall light in good condition, clean the surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the matte white finish of the steel body. Do not touch the bulb directly with your hands when replacing it, and always make sure to disconnect the power before any handling.

Design and use

The OVO series was born from the design studio Estudi Ribaudí, with a clear focus: a wall lamp that does not impose its presence but does not go unnoticed either. The result is a wall light with clean lines, a square format, and a contained depth of just 65 mm, which adapts easily to walls with limited available space.

The body is made of steel with a matte white finish. It is a durable material that holds its color well over time and does not require special care. The matte white, for its part, is a tone that works with almost any color palette. It works equally well in a room with neutral-toned walls as in spaces with more defined colors.

The most interesting element of this wall light is the adjustable diffuser. Light is not always needed in the same direction. In a bedroom, it may be useful to tilt it toward the nightstand for reading. In a hallway, you might prefer it to point toward the floor or the opposite wall. That range of adjustment is not always available in a standard surface-mounted lamp, and here it makes a real practical difference.

In the living room, a wall light like this can complement the main lighting and add a secondary light point that balances the overall setup. In the kitchen, installed at mid-height, it helps illuminate work areas without relying solely on ceiling lighting. In the bathroom, if the electrical regulations of the space allow it according to the installation zone, it can serve as decorative lighting next to the mirror or on a side wall. It also fits well in hallways, where space is narrower and an adjustable light allows you to play with the angle without taking up volume.

The design is modern without being flashy. It has no wrought iron elements, wood, or materials such as rattan or wicker that would place it in a very specific style. This makes it easy to pair with furniture from different eras or styles, from the most contemporary to the most classic. If the rest of the space has a Nordic or minimalist style, this wall light will fit in effortlessly. But it can also accompany a decorative composition of pictures or a textured wall without creating an uncomfortable contrast.

The use of LED technology, compatible with the R7S 118 mm light source, allows for efficient energy consumption. The accepted voltage ranges from 100V to 240V, making the wall light suitable for use in different countries without an adapter.

With 240 mm in height, length, and total diameter, it has a balanced size, sufficient to project light with presence without appearing bulky. It is a lamp that fits well in spaces of different dimensions, from a large dining room to a smaller bedroom.

Questions and answers

Can the diffuser of the OVO wall light be moved after installation, or is it only oriented at the time of assembly?

The diffuser includes a specific accessory that allows it to be oriented in different directions. This adjustment can be made once the lamp is installed on the wall, according to the needs of each moment, without needing to remove the wall light.

What type of bulb do I need to buy for this wall light and where can I find it?

This wall light requires an R7S LED 118 mm bulb, with a maximum wattage of 15 W. It is not included in the package. This type of light source is commonly available at lighting stores and large retail outlets.

The wall light body is made of steel. Does that affect the weight during installation?

The net weight of the wall light is 1.02 kg. It is not excessive, but it is important to ensure that the anchors are suitable for the wall where it will be installed, especially if the surface is drywall or other hollow materials that require specific plugs.
