Overview

Overview

SOLE is a wall light by FARO, designed for those who seek functional lighting without sacrificing a clean visual result. The lamp has a straight-lined structure, a matte black finish, and can emit light to one side or both, depending on how it is oriented during installation. That flexibility makes it useful in entryways, hallways, bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms where a specific light point is needed without taking up ceiling space.

The lamp body combines aluminum and steel, materials that provide stability without adding weight. The unit weighs just 200 grams, making it easy to mount on any type of wall. The bulb is not included, but the GU10 LED socket is easy to find and allows you to choose the color temperature that best suits the atmosphere.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in indoor and outdoor luminaires. Its products are aimed at both residential use and interior design projects, with attention to detail and material durability.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, an electrical connection point is required on the wall at the chosen location. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician. Before starting, the power must be cut off from the electrical panel. The wall light is fixed directly to the wall surface using the included anchors or those appropriate for the wall type. It is advisable to verify that the wall can support the fixing, although the lamp's reduced weight makes mounting easier on most surfaces.

The aluminum and steel body can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Abrasive products or solvents that may damage the black finish should not be used. Avoid dust accumulation inside the socket when the lamp is not in use. Do not handle the bulb while the lamp is on or immediately after turning it off.

Design and use

SOLE is a modern wall lamp that responds to a simple idea: providing light exactly where it is needed, without unnecessary elements. The structure is compact, with dimensions of 100 x 80 x 65 mm, making it discreet in small spaces and balanced in larger environments. The black finish covers both the aluminum body and the steel elements, delivering a uniform result that fits naturally with different decoration styles.

One of the most practical features of this lamp is the ability to direct light to one side or both. This allows it to be used as a directional spotlight next to a picture, a bedside table, or a bathroom mirror, but also as a wall light with diffused light in a hallway or at a room entrance. There is no need to purchase different models for different uses.

In the bedroom, a wall light of this type comfortably replaces a bedside table lamp. It is fixed to the wall at the desired height and leaves the surface free. The black finish pairs well with dark headboards, bedding in neutral tones, or natural wood furniture. It also works in bedrooms with a more industrial or modern style, where straight lines and metallic finishes are part of the design.

In the living room, this wall light can be used to create complementary lighting layers alongside the main lighting. Placed at mid-height, it adds warmth to the atmosphere without overcrowding the ceiling with spotlights. On a wide wall, two symmetrical units create a balanced and elegant effect, especially when combined with simple-lined furniture.

The kitchen and dining room are spaces where targeted lighting is particularly valuable. In the kitchen, a wall light above the work area adds functional light without relying solely on overhead lighting. In the dining room, placed near a sideboard or buffet, it helps visually define the space and adds depth to the room.

Bathrooms and hallways are areas where a wall lamp is especially useful. In the bathroom, this wall light can be installed on either side of the mirror for more balanced facial lighting, avoiding the shadows created by overhead lighting. In hallways, where space is often narrow, SOLE's reduced profile allows it to be installed without protruding too far from the wall.

The GU10 LED socket accepts bulbs of up to 8 W, sufficient to illuminate a specific area without excessive consumption. Compatibility with voltages between 100V and 240V means the lamp works without adapters in different countries and types of electrical installation.

Questions and answers

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

Yes. SOLE is designed to work in both unidirectional and bidirectional mode. The direction of the light depends on how it is configured at the time of installation.

What type of bulb is compatible with this wall light?

The wall light uses a GU10 LED socket with a maximum power of 8 W. The bulb is not included and must be purchased separately. It is a very common format and easy to find in any lighting store.

Does the 100V-240V voltage range mean I can install it in any country in Europe?

Yes. The voltage range covers both 110V and 220-240V installations common in Europe and other markets, so no additional adapter is needed.
