Overview

The SOLE wall light by FARO is a round-shaped wall lamp with a grey finish that fits well in different areas of the home. Its smooth structure and compact size make it suitable for both large spaces and smaller areas. It works as a main light source or as a complement to the general lighting of a room.

One of the most practical features of this wall light is that it allows you to direct the light towards one or both sides of the wall. This gives considerable flexibility when installing it: if you need to illuminate a specific area or spread the light more broadly, the design allows it without the need to add another lamp.

FARO is a company with a long track record in the lighting sector. Their products combine solid construction with careful design, intended to integrate into real domestic environments.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, it is advisable to have basic electrical knowledge or to hire an electrician. Before starting, disconnect the power supply at the main panel. The light point must be on the wall, as the wall light does not allow ceiling installation. Check that the wall support is adequate to hold the anchor, although the product weight is very low. The GU10 LED bulb is not included, so have one ready before installation.

To clean the body of the wall light, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the grey finish. Do not handle the bulb with the lamp on or without having disconnected the power beforehand.

Design and use

The SOLE wall light has a body made of aluminium and steel, two materials that provide strength without adding unnecessary weight. The whole unit weighs less than three hundred grams, which makes both transport and wall mounting easier. Despite its lightness, the structure is firm and does not feel fragile once installed.

The grey finish is neutral by nature. It does not impose a specific style, but adapts to what already exists in the space. On a white wall, the grey of the wall light offers a subtle contrast. On walls with darker tones or textures, it integrates easily without losing presence. This neutrality means the lamp works well in environments with a predominance of wood, with industrial design elements, or in more sober and contemporary interiors.

The round format is a detail worth noting. Circular shapes tend to visually soften spaces, especially in rooms with many right angles. Placed in the hallway or living room, the wall light does not break the general line of the ensemble, but joins it naturally.

The ability to emit light from one or both sides is an aspect that considerably changes the behaviour of the lamp in the space. If installed next to a bed in the bedroom, it can be oriented to illuminate only the reading area. In the dining room, with light towards both sides, it contributes to a more enveloping illumination. In the bathroom, that control of direction allows you to avoid uncomfortable reflections in the mirror or concentrate the light on the sink.

In the kitchen, a wall light of these characteristics can be installed under a tall cabinet or on the side wall to illuminate the worktop without the need for a larger lamp. The maximum consumption of 8W with a GU10 LED bulb makes it an efficient option for continuous use.

Hallways are often areas that are difficult to light well without overloading the ceiling with light points. A wall light like the SOLE distributes light laterally, which creates a sense of breadth and depth in these transit spaces.

The compatible voltage between 100V and 240V allows it to be used in different countries without additional adapters, which is useful if you move home at some point or purchase it from abroad.

Regarding installation in the bathroom, it is important to verify the safety zones according to local electrical regulations before placing it near water sources.

Questions and answers

Can this wall light emit light in only one direction, or does it have to work in both directions at the same time?

The SOLE wall light is designed to emit light from one or both sides, depending on how it is configured at the time of installation. It is not mandatory for it to work in both directions; you can adapt it to what you need in each space.

Is the GU10 LED bulb included in the box?

No. The GU10 LED light source is not included with the wall light. You will need to purchase it separately before installing the lamp.

Can the aluminium and steel body be installed in a bathroom without risk of deterioration from humidity?

The body is resistant, but before installing it in the bathroom it is advisable to check the corresponding electrical safety zone according to the regulations in force in your country. FARO does not specify an IP protection rating for this model in the available data, so it is recommended not to place it in areas with direct contact with water or intense steam.
