Overview

The SCREEN beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate paths, gardens and parks with warm, uniform light. It is installed directly in the ground and reaches a height of 800 mm, allowing it to project light at a comfortable height without taking up overhead space. The 360º distribution option makes the lighting symmetrical in all directions, with no dark areas or pronounced shadows.

The body is made of aluminium and polycarbonate, with a dark grey finish and transparent diffuser. Thanks to its IP65 rating and IK10 impact resistance, this lamp withstands rain, humidity and continuous outdoor use. It requires no constant attention or special maintenance.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in technical and decorative lighting. Its outdoor products are designed to last under real conditions of use, and the SCREEN collection reflects that approach: solid materials, certified protection and a design that integrates well into different open-air environments.

Installation and specifications

Preparation and installation. This lamp is fixed to the ground, so before installing it, it is advisable to plan the underground wiring route. It is recommended that the electrical installation be carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure that the installation point is not in an area prone to standing water and that the ground base is firm to guarantee the stability of the post lamp.

Use and maintenance. To clean the surface, a damp cloth and, if necessary, a mild detergent are sufficient. Abrasive products or solvents that could damage the aluminium finish or the PC diffuser should not be used. Although the lamp has IP65 protection, it is advisable to periodically check the condition of the seal and the ground fixing points.

Design and use

The SCREEN collection by FARO was created to meet a specific need: to illuminate outdoor spaces with a light source that is durable, functional and does not require frequent replacements. This beacon embodies that purpose clearly. The aluminium body provides rigidity and corrosion resistance, while the polycarbonate, both in the body and in the diffuser, adds lightness and the ability to absorb impacts without breaking.

The IK10 rating is the highest level of resistance to mechanical impacts. This means the lamp can withstand considerable blows without the diffuser or casing being damaged. In a garden where children are playing, a bouncing ball or a garden trolley passing nearby, this protection has real practical value. IP65 protection, in turn, guarantees that neither rainwater nor dust will affect the functioning of the post lamp.

The dark grey finish is discreet and integrates well with stone, gravel, treated wood or outdoor ceramic paving. It does not draw excessive attention during the day, but at night it fulfils its function clearly. The warm 3000K light creates a pleasant atmosphere that is neither dazzling nor harsh. It is the type of lighting that makes a garden or patio feel more welcoming at nightfall.

The transparent diffuser allows light to emerge without excessive filtering, which reinforces the sense of clarity in the immediate surroundings. The 360º distribution ensures that no side is more illuminated than another, which is especially useful when the beacon is placed in the centre of a path or at a point that requires lighting in all directions. On garden avenues, terrace edges or property entrances, this symmetrical light behaviour is practical and visually balanced.

The integrated COB LED light source operates at a maximum power of 20W. This is not a lamp designed to illuminate large surfaces like a powerful spotlight, but rather to create points of light along a route or to highlight specific areas of the garden. If several units are placed in a row, the effect is continuous and orderly. If used in isolation, it marks a clear reference point in the space.

Compatibility with voltages between 100V and 240V means this lamp can be installed without adapters in different countries and types of electrical installation. The weight of 4.2 kg indicates that it is a solid piece, not a lightweight accessory. This is noticeable in its stability once installed: it does not move in the wind or with minor accidental knocks.

In terms of combining with other elements, this beacon works well alongside other lights from the SCREEN collection or with wall luminaires from the same range. It can also be combined with in-ground spotlights or terrace ambient lighting to create a more complete outdoor lighting scheme.

Questions and answers

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

The lamp comes with the COB LED light source included. Nothing additional needs to be purchased to put it into operation once the electrical installation has been completed.

What level of protection does it offer against rain and impacts?

It has an IP65 rating, which protects against dust and water projected from any direction, and IK10 impact resistance, which is the maximum level for this type of parameter.

Is it possible to install this lamp in an area with risk of people or vehicles moving nearby?

Yes. The combination of an aluminium body, polycarbonate diffuser and IK10 resistance means this beacon holds up well in environments with pedestrian traffic and minor accidental impacts. For areas with vehicles, it is advisable to assess the location with a professional.
