Overview

The SCREEN beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate paths, gardens and parks efficiently and durably. It is installed directly in the ground and provides warm, uniform light throughout the space. Its 180° option allows the beam to be directed asymmetrically, which is useful when only one side of the path needs to be lit or a specific area of the garden needs to be highlighted.

The body is made of aluminium and polycarbonate, materials that combine strength and lightness. The lamp features IP65 protection and IK10 impact resistance, making it suitable for permanent outdoor use, even in rainy conditions or high-traffic areas. The DALI version allows the beacon to be integrated into more complex lighting control systems.

FARO is a Spanish company with a long track record in technical and decorative lighting. Its products are aimed at both residential projects and public spaces, with attention to construction detail and product durability under real-world conditions of use.

Installation and specifications

To install this beacon, it is recommended to prepare the anchor point in the ground in advance. As this is a ground-mounted lamp, a power outlet must be available in the area or the wiring must be laid before placing the beacon. If the installation is carried out on a concrete or paved surface, it is advisable to plan the cable routing during the construction phase. It is recommended that the electrical installation be carried out by a qualified electrician.

For lamp maintenance, simply clean the outer surface with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a mild detergent. The use of abrasive products or solvents that could damage the aluminium finish or the polycarbonate diffuser is not recommended. Although the beacon has IP65 protection, it is advisable to periodically check the condition of the seals and gaskets to ensure that the protection remains in good condition.

Design and use

The SCREEN collection by FARO is designed for technical outdoor lighting. The beacon that makes up this collection has been conceived for environments that require a robust and stable lighting solution, capable of operating reliably under variable weather conditions. The dark grey finish gives it a discreet presence in the garden: it does not draw too much attention during the day, but fulfils its function well once night falls.

The aluminium body provides solidity without adding unnecessary weight. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows the LED light to be distributed clearly, without filters that reduce intensity. The integrated COB LED light source emits at 2700K, a warm temperature that is pleasant in walkways or rest areas. This light tone is not visually harsh, making it suitable for gardens where a calm atmosphere is desired at dusk.

The asymmetric 180° option is a relevant feature for those who need to direct the lighting towards a specific side. On a path flanked by vegetation, for example, this feature allows the pavement to be illuminated without projecting unnecessary light towards the shrubs or the façade. It is an advantage both aesthetically and functionally.

The beacon belongs to the category of outdoor surface luminaires, and its height of 800 mm places it at a distance from the ground that is effective for marking paths without interfering with the field of vision. The lantern remains visible without obstructing passage, and the light reaches the ground naturally. In parks or gardens with defined routes, these beacons can be installed in series to create a lighting sequence that guides the way.

Although the product is listed in the outdoor category, it can also be used in semi-covered areas such as pergolas or covered entrances. The IP65 protection ensures that water ingress from rain or humidity does not affect the operation of the lamp. The IK10 resistance adds an additional layer of security against accidental impacts, something that is particularly valued in areas with frequent foot traffic.

The DALI version of this beacon allows it to be connected to lighting management systems that regulate intensity in a programmed or remote manner. This is useful in installations where the light level needs to be adjusted according to the time of day or where the lantern is to be integrated into a home automation system. For a private residence, it can be an interesting option if control infrastructure is already in place or if an installation is being planned from scratch.

As for combining with other elements in the surroundings, the dark grey of the body works well with natural stone paving, dark stoneware floors or metal elements in the garden. Its clean, unadorned profile means it works well in both contemporary gardens and more neutral or natural settings.

Questions and answers

What does it mean that this beacon has IP65 protection?

The IP65 classification indicates that the lamp is completely protected against dust and against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor use, even in areas exposed to direct rain.

Is the LED light source included with the product?

Yes, the beacon includes the 20W COB LED light source. No additional components are required for the lamp to operate.

What advantage does the 180° asymmetric lighting option offer?

The 180° option allows the light beam to be directed to one side instead of distributing it in all directions. It is useful when only the path or a specific area needs to be illuminated without projecting light towards the immediate surroundings.
