Overview

The SCREEN beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate pathways, gardens, and open spaces in an orderly and efficient manner. It is placed directly in the ground and projects light upward or in different directions depending on the chosen variant. It is a suitable option when you want to define a route or highlight specific areas of a patio or park without the need for complex installations.

The SCREEN collection combines aluminum and polycarbonate in its construction, providing mechanical impact resistance—certified IK10—and IP65 protection against rain and dust. This makes it suitable for permanent outdoor installation, even in areas with frequent rainfall or pedestrian traffic.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in technical and decorative lighting. Its products are developed with durability and performance criteria, designed for both residential use and larger-scale projects.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the beacon, it is advisable to verify that the installation point has a suitable outdoor power outlet and that the wiring is protected for outdoor use. Mounting is done directly in the ground; it is recommended to prepare a firm, level base to ensure the stability of the lamp. It is advisable to have the electrical installation carried out by a qualified electrician, especially if it involves work with buried conduits or new connections.

For maintenance, simply clean the lamp body with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive products that could damage the dark grey finish or scratch the transparent polycarbonate diffuser. Although the IP65 protection level ensures resistance to water, it is not recommended to clean with a pressure jet directly on the seals or connections.

Design and use

The SCREEN lamp belongs to a technical lighting collection designed specifically for outdoor use. From the very first moment it is clear that it is built to last: the aluminum body provides solidity without adding unnecessary weight, and the transparent polycarbonate diffuser protects the light source while maintaining good light transmission.

The dark grey finish integrates the beacon well into natural environments such as gardens with vegetation or stone pathways. It does not draw excessive attention during the day, but fulfills its function as soon as night falls. The warm 2700K light creates a calm atmosphere, without the coldness that more technical outdoor lighting sometimes produces. It is a color temperature that suits rest areas or spaces with leisurely foot traffic.

The 360º variant of this beacon distributes light symmetrically around the post, which is useful when you want to illuminate without creating pronounced shadows in any direction. For pathways or areas where light needs to reach further, the wide variant disperses the beam over a greater distance. In both cases, the integrated COB LED source offers uniform emission with no light spots visible to the naked eye.

At 800 mm in height, the lamp is positioned at just the right level to mark a route without obstructing the view or causing direct glare. This is a common measurement for garden beacons and works well both in individual installations and in series along a path. Placed at regular intervals, these lights generate an orderly effect that clearly defines the space.

The IK10 rating indicates the maximum resistance to mechanical impacts according to the relevant standard. This is relevant in areas with frequent foot traffic, gardens with children, or public spaces where the lamp may be exposed to accidental knocks. IP65 protection ensures that neither dust nor rain affects internal operation.

The universal voltage of 100V-240V allows the beacon to be connected without adapters to any standard installation. The LED light source is already included, so there is no need to purchase it separately. With a maximum power of 20 W, energy consumption is moderate for the level of illumination it provides.

This beacon can be combined with other pieces from the SCREEN collection to create a coherent system throughout the garden or the outdoor area of the home. It also works well alongside other outdoor lighting elements such as wall sconces or hanging lanterns, provided a similar color temperature is maintained so as not to break the visual unity of the space.

Questions and answers

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

The COB LED light source is included. No additional components need to be purchased to get the lamp up and running.

What is the difference between the 360º variant and the wide variant of this lamp?

The 360º variant distributes light symmetrically in all directions around the beacon. The wide variant projects light at a wider angle to the sides, reaching a greater horizontal distance. The choice depends on whether you want to mark a specific point or illuminate a larger area.

Does IP65 protection allow this lamp to be installed in areas exposed to direct rain?

Yes. The IP65 rating indicates that the lamp is protected against dust ingress and against water jets from any direction. It is suitable for installation outdoors without cover, even in climates with frequent rainfall.
