Overview

The RUSH 800 beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate pathways, gardens, and parks. It is installed directly in the ground and distributes light in a stable manner, without the need for any additional structure. With a height of 800 mm, it integrates well in open spaces where a clear light reference at ground level is needed.

The lamp is designed for those who want their outdoor space to function at night as well. The warm 3000K light creates a calm atmosphere, without the cold white that often feels uncomfortable. The 360º lighting option distributes light symmetrically around the beacon, with no dark spots. The wide variant projects light over a greater distance, useful when the path is long or the space is large.

FARO is a brand with a track record in technical and decorative lighting. Its products combine durability with aesthetic judgment, designed for both domestic environments and more demanding spaces.

Installation and specifications

To install this lamp in the ground, it is necessary to prepare a firm base that supports the weight of the body and resists ground moisture. It is recommended to anchor the structure according to the manufacturer's instructions before connecting the wiring. The working voltage is 100 V to 240 V, allowing it to be connected to the standard electrical grid without adapters. Electrical installation must be carried out by a qualified professional, especially outdoors where cable routing requires adequate protection.

The dark grey aluminium surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the finish. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser can be cleaned periodically with water and mild soap. Although the beacon has IP65 protection against rain and solids, it is advisable to check the general condition of the lamp at the start of each season.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 beacon is part of a collection of technical outdoor lighting. The body combines aluminium and polycarbonate, two materials that work well together under continuous outdoor use conditions. The aluminium provides structural stability and resistance to temperature changes, while the polycarbonate diffuser ensures that light is distributed evenly without losing intensity.

The dark grey finish suits natural environments such as gardens with dense vegetation, gravel paths, or dark paving. It also integrates effortlessly into outdoor spaces with more contemporary design elements, where the beacon becomes part of the overall composition without standing out too much.

The IP65 protection means that this outdoor lamp is prepared for direct rain and dust. This makes it suitable not only for private gardens, but also for parks, communal areas in residential developments, or building entrances. The IK10 impact resistance adds an extra level of safety in places where there may be frequent movement of people.

The integrated COB LED consumes 20 W and emits light at a temperature of 3000K. This colour range is perceived as warm, similar to that of a classic lantern, but with greater energy efficiency. It does not produce the visual motion effect that other outdoor light sources sometimes generate in windy conditions. The lighting is stable and continuous.

The 360º distribution option is useful in areas where the beacon is positioned at the centre of an open space, such as a garden roundabout or a rest area. The wide variant is designed for pathways or entrances where it is desirable for the light to reach further in a single direction, reducing the number of lighting points needed.

At 800 mm in height, the lamp sits below the eye level of an adult. This prevents direct glare and directs the light towards the ground and surrounding elements, not towards the eyes. This is a detail that is especially noticeable when several beacons are aligned along a pathway.

In terms of combining with other outdoor elements, this lamp works well alongside taller lanterns to create different levels of lighting. It can also be alternated with recessed ground lights to achieve a more elaborate result. In gardens with medium-sized plants, the beacon sits naturally among the vegetation, without needing to be concealed.

It does not require a solar energy source or motion sensor, as it is designed to be connected to the electrical grid and provide constant, powerful lighting. This makes it a stable option for those who prefer direct control over when and how the outdoor lighting system operates.
