Overview

The FARO RUSH 800 bollard is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate paths, gardens and open spaces in a stable and discreet way. It is installed directly in the ground and offers a 360-degree light distribution, meaning it leaves no uncovered areas around it. With a colour temperature of 3000K, the light it emits is warm and pleasant, without the bluish coldness that can sometimes be uncomfortable in relaxation spaces.

The body is made of aluminium and polycarbonate, materials that combine strength and low weight. The IP65 protection ensures that rain, dust and humidity do not affect the lamp's operation. It also features IK10 impact resistance, the highest level available in this type of product.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a well-established track record in technical and decorative lighting. Their outdoor products are designed to withstand real-world conditions, not just to look good in a catalogue.

Installation and specifications

For installation, it is necessary to prepare a base in the ground that supports the weight of the lamp and allows it to be fixed stably. As this is an outdoor luminaire connected to the mains at 220V–240V, the connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician. It is important that the wiring is protected underground and that the connections are correctly sealed to maintain IP65 protection.

Maintenance of the lamp is straightforward. To clean the surface, a damp cloth and, if necessary, a neutral detergent are sufficient. Abrasive products or solvents that could damage the aluminium finish or the polycarbonate diffuser should not be used. Although the bollard is designed for outdoor use, it is advisable to periodically check that the gaskets and sealing are in good condition, especially after periods of adverse weather.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 is a lamp that integrates effortlessly into its surroundings. Its dark grey finish gives it a neutral appearance that does not compete with the landscape or the architecture of the space. It works well in both private gardens and building entrances, park paths or areas arranged around a terrace.

The height of 800 mm places it at an intermediate level: tall enough to illuminate the immediate surroundings, but without becoming a dominant visual element. The 160 mm square section gives it solidity and stability, and its weight of almost four kilograms indicates that it is neither a light nor a fragile piece. It is built to stay where it is placed.

The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows the COB LED light to radiate uniformly in all directions. The 360-degree option means there is no illuminated side and no shadowed side: the bollard distributes light symmetrically around it. This is especially useful when several lights are placed along a path or surrounding a thoroughfare, because the result is continuous, uninterrupted lighting.

The 3000K temperature produces a warm light, similar to that of a traditional incandescent lamp. In a garden, this type of lighting creates a relaxed atmosphere, without the clinical feeling that some colder outdoor lights have. It is a choice that favours spaces where people want to feel comfortable, not just pass through.

The DALI version of this lamp allows it to be integrated into more complex lighting control systems, where intensity can be regulated centrally. This makes it suitable both for residential installations seeking greater control and for projects in parks or public spaces with automated management.

Although it does not incorporate a motion sensor or operate on a rechargeable basis, its connection to the standard mains and its 20 W power make it a stable and continuous solution. It does not depend on batteries or sunlight, which means its performance does not vary according to the weather or the season. It is not a solar lamp and does not feature a motion sensor: it simply does its job consistently, night after night.

The RUSH 800 bollard pairs well with other outdoor lighting elements. It can complement wall lights, ground spotlights or hanging luminaires on a pergola, as long as consistency in colour temperature is maintained. In spaces where natural materials such as stone or wood predominate, the dark grey of the aluminium body fits in without generating excessive contrast.

Questions and answers

Does the RUSH 800 bollard withstand heavy rain and continuous outdoor use?

Yes. It features IP65 protection, which guarantees resistance to dust and water jets from any direction. It is designed to remain outdoors permanently, without needing to be removed in bad weather.

What does IK10 resistance mean?

IK10 is the maximum level of resistance to mechanical impacts according to European standards. It means the lamp body can withstand considerable impacts without breaking or deforming, which is important in public-use spaces or areas with frequent foot traffic.

Does the lamp include the light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The COB LED light source is included. No additional components need to be purchased for the bollard to function once correctly installed.
