Overview

The FARO RUSH 800 beacon is an outdoor lamp designed to be installed directly in the ground. It works well in gardens, parks and walkways where focused, weather-resistant lighting is needed.

The aluminium body and polycarbonate diffuser make this lamp withstand impacts and rain well. The IP65 rating ensures protection against water and solid bodies, so there is no need to worry if it is exposed to direct rain or garden irrigation. The IK10 standard also gives it high mechanical resistance, which is appreciated in public spaces or high-traffic areas.

The 4000K colour temperature offers a neutral white light that allows good visibility without being too cold. The 180º asymmetric distribution option is useful when you want to direct the light to one side, for example, to illuminate a path or highlight a specific area without scattering light in all directions.

FARO is a lighting brand with experience in designing luminaires for residential and professional use. Their products combine solid construction with careful finishes, and the RUSH 800 collection is a good example of that balance.

Installation and specifications

This lamp is fixed to the ground, so it is necessary to prepare the anchor point before installation. It is advisable to check that the wiring is protected and that the connection complies with local electrical regulations for outdoor installations. If you do not have experience with outdoor electrical installations, it is recommended to hire an electrician. The supported voltage ranges from 100V to 240V, making it compatible with the standard electrical grid without the need for adapters.

For maintenance, simply clean the aluminium body and polycarbonate diffuser with a damp cloth. Abrasive products or solvents should not be used, as they can damage the finish. Although the beacon has IP65 protection, it is advisable to periodically check the condition of the seals and connections to ensure everything remains in good condition.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 beacon has a height of 800 mm, which gives it enough presence to mark paths or delimit areas in the garden without taking up too much space. The aluminium body in a dark grey finish gives it a discreet appearance that fits well in both modern environments and more classic gardens. It does not stand out excessively during the day, but when switched on, it does its job well.

The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows the LED light to project clearly. The 20W COB LED source provides efficient lighting for a bollard of this type. The 4000K temperature is a practical choice: it is not as warm as amber light, nor as cold as office light. In a garden or patio, that range allows comfortable visibility while creating a pleasant atmosphere at the same time.

The 180º asymmetric distribution is one of the most practical features of this collection. It allows the beacon to be placed next to a wall or near a path and direct all the light where it is needed, without wasting it towards the side that is not of interest. This is useful at house entrances, terrace edges or areas where the lamp is close to a physical boundary.

In terms of resistance, IK10 is the highest level of protection against mechanical impacts. This means that this luminaire can be installed in walkways without worrying about accidental impacts damaging it. The IP65 complements that robustness with complete protection against dust and against direct water jets. It is the type of product that, once installed, does not require constant attention.

The aluminium body is a material that tolerates temperature changes well and does not oxidise easily. Combined with the polycarbonate diffuser, which is more impact-resistant than glass, the result is a lamp designed to last under real outdoor use conditions.

The RUSH 800 collection can be combined with other luminaires from the same line to create coherent lighting along a path or along the border of a garden. It also works well as a single element at an entrance or next to a wall lantern. The sobriety of the design means it does not visually compete with other elements in the surroundings, but rather complements them.

Questions and answers

Does the RUSH 800 beacon withstand direct rain without additional protection?

Yes. This lamp has an IP65 rating, which means it is protected against dust and against water projected as a jet from any direction. It does not need any additional cover to be installed outdoors exposed to rain.

What does the 180º lighting option included in this lamp mean?

The 180º asymmetric distribution allows light to be concentrated towards one side instead of projecting it in all directions. It is useful when the beacon is placed next to a wall, a hedge or the edge of a path, as it directs the light beam towards the area that needs to be illuminated.

Is the LED light source included in the product?

Yes. The RUSH 800 beacon already includes the 20W COB LED source. No additional module needs to be purchased for it to function.
