Overview

The PLIM beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate passageways in the garden. It is installed directly in the ground and projects light upward along its slender body, marking paths, entrances and walkways clearly and without the need for overhead cables or additional structures.

The contemporary line design fits well in both modern-style gardens and more understated settings. The combination of aluminium in a dark grey finish with a transparent polycarbonate diffuser gives it a clean look, free of distracting decorative elements. The integrated LED technology ensures efficient consumption with a colour temperature of 3000K, producing warm light that is pleasant for outdoor night-time use.

FARO is a brand with a well-established track record in the lighting sector. Its outdoor products are designed to withstand the typical conditions of outdoor use, with materials selected for that purpose.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the beacon, check that the installation point in the ground is firm and level. As this is a ground-mounted lamp, it is necessary to prepare the routing of the electrical wiring underground or in a protected manner before placing it. If you do not have experience with outdoor electrical installations, it is advisable to consult an electrician. Make sure the power supply is switched off throughout the entire installation process.

For lamp maintenance, clean the aluminium body with a damp cloth and no abrasive products. The polycarbonate diffuser may accumulate dust or dirt over time; simply clean it with water and a soft cloth. Avoid the use of solvents or aggressive chemical products that could damage the finish. Periodically check the connections to ensure safe operation.

Design and use

The PLIM beacon has a height of 650 mm and a square base of 90 x 90 mm. These proportions give it a discreet presence in the outdoor space without going unnoticed. It is the type of lamp that integrates well along a garden path, at the entrance to a home or along the sides of a patio, where lighting needs to be functional without becoming the central element of the composition.

The body is made of aluminium with a dark grey finish, a material that holds up well under typical outdoor conditions: temperature changes, humidity and continuous exposure to the elements. Aluminium does not oxidise in the same way as steel and maintains its appearance for longer without the need for constant upkeep. Dark grey is a neutral tone that adapts to different contexts: stone floors, gravel, grass or smooth paving.

The diffuser is made of transparent polycarbonate, allowing light to pass through without visible filtering. This means the lamp projects direct, clean illumination without colorations or artificial diffusion. The colour temperature of 3000K places the light in the warm range, close to traditional incandescent light. This type of light is more pleasant in outdoor night-time settings than cool tones, and integrates better into natural environments such as gardens or landscaped areas.

The light source is an SMD LED type, already included in the lamp. With a power of 10W it is sufficient to mark a path or illuminate a passageway without causing glare. LED lights of this type have a long service life and consumption far below that of conventional lamps, resulting in fewer replacements and lower energy expenditure over time.

The PLIM beacon operates on universal voltage between 100V and 240V, making it compatible with the standard electrical grid in Spain and in most countries. No additional adapters or transformers are required.

As for combined use with other elements, the beacon fits well in installations where several units are aligned along a path. It can also be combined with other outdoor luminaires from the same range or with similar finishes to maintain visual coherence in the lighting of the space. On a terrace or at the entrance to a home, several beacons of this type create a clear visual guide without the need to install larger spotlights or lanterns.

Questions and answers

Does the PLIM beacon include the LED light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The lamp includes the 10W SMD LED light source. It does not need to be purchased separately or replaced before installation.

What is the colour temperature of this lamp and how does it affect garden lighting?

The PLIM beacon emits light at 3000K, which corresponds to a warm tone. In outdoor night-time settings, this type of light creates a softer and more pleasant atmosphere than cool options, and integrates well in natural environments such as the garden.

Does the aluminium body require any special treatment to remain in good condition outdoors?

No additional treatments are required. The aluminium with dark grey finish withstands typical outdoor exposure well. Simply clean it occasionally with a damp cloth to maintain its appearance.
