Overview

The RUSH 800 beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to be installed directly in the ground. It is intended to illuminate pathways, gardens, parks, and landscaped areas where continuous, well-distributed light is needed that can withstand environmental conditions.

The body combines aluminium and polycarbonate, two materials that offer real resistance without adding unnecessary weight. The IP65 protection ensures that neither rain nor dust affects the lamp's operation. In addition, the IK10 impact resistance rating means it can withstand impacts of a certain intensity without deforming or breaking, which is relevant in frequently used spaces.

The asymmetric 180° distribution option allows light to be directed toward a specific side, which is useful when the beacon is placed next to a wall, a fence, or at the edge of a path. It does not disperse light in all directions, but only where it is actually needed.

FARO is a Spanish company with a track record in technical and decorative lighting. Its products are designed with criteria of durability and stable long-term performance, both for residential use and for larger-scale projects.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the beacon, check that the ground is level and that the electrical wiring is protected and reaches the installation point. As this is an outdoor luminaire fixed to the ground, it is advisable for the electrical connection to be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially in areas where ground moisture may affect the wiring. Observe the minimum distances between beacons indicated in the lighting project to achieve a uniform light distribution.

To keep the lamp in good condition, clean the surface with a damp cloth and a neutral product. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the aluminium or polycarbonate finish. Periodically check the condition of the transparent diffuser to ensure it does not accumulate dirt that reduces lighting efficiency.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 is part of a technical outdoor lighting collection, and this is evident in every detail of its construction. It is not a lamp designed solely for decoration, but to work continuously under real-use conditions.

The aluminium body gives it structure and resistance without being excessively heavy. The dark grey finish allows it to integrate well into natural environments: gardens with vegetation, stone pathways, park kerbs, or paved walkways. It does not draw excessive attention; it is simply there, fulfilling its function.

The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to pass through with minimal loss. The COB LED source at 2700K emits warm light, similar to domestic warm white. This tone is pleasant for night-time walkways because it does not produce the cold or clinical effect found in some more technical outdoor lights. It is a colour temperature that makes the garden or path look well lit without losing the ambiance.

The 180° option is one of the most practical features of this beacon. Instead of emitting light in all directions, it concentrates the illumination in a semicircle. This allows the beam to be directed toward the route of a path or toward a specific area, preventing light from being wasted where it is not needed. It is a particularly useful solution when the beacon is placed next to a wall, a hedge, or at the boundary of a plot.

The RUSH 800 collection is designed for private gardens, urban parks, building entrances, and landscaped areas for public or semi-public use. A single lamp can mark a path or signal a walkway. Several beacons distributed at regular intervals create a line of illumination that guides without dazzling.

Regarding ground mounting, the floor fixing allows the beacon to remain securely anchored without movement. The lantern does not require additional structures or visible supports, which maintains a clean aesthetic. The height of 800 mm places the light source at a distance from the ground that prevents it from being hidden by low-lying vegetation and ensures good beam projection.

The straight, geometric design of the beacon fits well with modern-style gardens, but also with more natural environments where a discreet luminaire is sought. It does not compete visually with its surroundings: during the day it goes almost unnoticed, at night it does its job.

For a terrace or patio with an access path, combining this beacon with other outdoor lights at the same colour temperature creates coherent lighting without visual inconsistencies. The lantern works as a continuity element within a broader lighting project.

Questions and answers

Does the RUSH 800 beacon include the light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The lamp includes the COB LED light source. It is not necessary to purchase it separately or look for compatibility. It is ready to connect and install.

What does the asymmetric 180° distribution mean on this beacon?

Instead of emitting light in all directions, the 180° option concentrates the beam in a semicircle. This allows the illumination to be directed toward a specific side, such as the route of a path or a specific area of the garden, preventing light from dispersing where it is not needed.

Is the IP65 protection level sufficient for a permanent outdoor installation?

Yes. IP65 indicates that the lamp is protected against dust ingress and against water jets from any direction. It is adequate protection for fixed outdoor installations, including areas exposed to rain or irrigation.
