Overview

The RUSH 800 beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate pathways, gardens, and open-air spaces where clear, stable, and durable lighting is needed. It is installed directly in the ground and projects light in all directions thanks to its 360° lighting option, making it especially useful in gardens, parks, and access areas where there are no preferred traffic zones.

The aluminum body and transparent polycarbonate diffuser provide real resistance to outdoor conditions. It withstands impacts certified under the IK10 standard and features IP65 protection, meaning neither rain nor dust will affect its operation. It is not a seasonal decorative lamp, but a solution that can remain in place year after year.

FARO is a Spanish brand with extensive experience in technical lighting. Its products combine durability with aesthetic sensibility, designed for both residential use and more demanding environments. The RUSH 800 collection is part of their technical outdoor lighting range.

Installation and specifications

To install this lamp correctly, the anchor point in the ground must be prepared in advance. As a ground-mounted luminaire, it is common to require a base or foundation into which the beacon post is anchored. It is recommended that the electrical wiring be protected underground and that the connection be made by a qualified electrician. The working voltage is 100V to 240V, making it compatible with the standard electrical grid in Spain and Europe.

To clean the body surface, a damp cloth without abrasive products is sufficient. The polycarbonate diffuser may lose some clarity over time if aggressive chemical products are used, so these should be avoided. Although IP65 protection guarantees water resistance, it is not recommended to submerge the lamp or expose it to direct pressurized water jets. Periodically check that the ground anchor is secure, especially after periods of heavy rain or frost.

Design and use

The RUSH 800 is a post beacon designed to provide outdoor lighting consistently and without complications. Its height of 800 mm places it at a distance from the ground that makes good use of lateral illumination: it does not dazzle the eyes, but it does illuminate the path clearly. In a garden or a residential access area, that balance between height and light output makes the result pleasant both during the day and at night.

The main material is aluminum, which provides solidity without adding excessive weight. At just under 4 kg, it is neither a fragile lamp nor difficult to handle during installation. The dark grey finish integrates well in environments with vegetation, stone, or dark paving, without drawing too much attention during the day. It is a restrained design, without ornamentation, that functions as part of the overall setting rather than as a focal point.

The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to pass through without filtering it excessively. This, combined with COB LED technology, generates uniform illumination with a color temperature of 4000K. That temperature falls within the neutral light range: neither too warm nor too cold, which is comfortable for moving outdoors at night without the feeling of being under an industrial spotlight. A beacon with this color temperature creates a balanced atmosphere, suitable for both a terrace and a garden path.

The 360° lighting option is one of the most practical aspects of this beacon. Some outdoor lights project most of their output in a single direction, which requires very careful planning of their orientation. The RUSH 800 illuminates symmetrically in all directions, simplifying planning and ensuring that no dark areas remain around the installation point.

IK10 protection means it withstands physical impacts of considerable intensity, which is useful in high-traffic environments or in parks where street furniture is subject to intensive use. IP65 adds the peace of mind that rain, dusty wind, or ambient humidity will not affect the lamp's operation. It does not need to be covered in winter or removed during rainy seasons.

This beacon fits well in both private gardens and larger settings, such as parks or communal areas in residential developments. It can also be used to mark access paths, border a patio area, or define perimeters in outdoor spaces with little ambient lighting. Placed in a row, several beacons of this type create a clear and orderly visual route without the need for additional lights.

Questions and answers

Does the RUSH 800 beacon include the light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The lamp includes the 20W COB LED light source. No additional components need to be purchased for it to work.

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

It features IP65 protection, which guarantees resistance to rain and dust ingress. It also has IK10 certification, indicating that it withstands high-intensity physical impacts without being damaged.

Is it possible to install this lamp on any type of outdoor surface?

The mounting is ground-based, so it requires preparing an anchor point in advance. The type of base will depend on the surface where it is installed. It is recommended to consult an electrician for proper connection and anchoring.
