Overview

The SCREEN beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to illuminate pathways, gardens, and green access areas. It is installed directly in the ground and projects light upward, marking routes or delimiting spaces discreetly. The asymmetric 180º lighting option allows the beam to be directed to one side, which is useful when the lamp is placed next to a wall, fence, or curb.

The body combines aluminum and polycarbonate, materials that hold up well under both continuous use and changing outdoor conditions. The IP65 protection ensures that rain and dirt do not affect its operation. The IK10 mechanical resistance means it can withstand knocks or impacts without the housing giving way.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in technical and decorative lighting. Its outdoor products are designed for real environments, where long-term performance matters as much as appearance.

Installation and specifications

This beacon is fixed to the ground via its base. Before installing it, it is advisable to prepare the electrical connection point with sufficient cable length so that the wiring remains hidden underground. If the ground is soft, it is recommended to place a firm base so that the lamp does not lose its vertical alignment over time. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, as it involves connection to the mains.

For maintenance, simply clean the exterior with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive products or solvents that could damage the aluminum finish or the polycarbonate diffuser. Periodically check that the seals and closures are in good condition, especially after periods of heavy rain.

Design and use

The SCREEN collection was created as a technical outdoor lighting solution for situations where durability and operational clarity are required. This beacon-format lamp measures 800 mm in height with a square cross-section of 160 mm, giving it a slender, clean silhouette with no distracting decorative elements. The dark grey color of the body integrates easily into natural environments, dark paving, or facades in neutral tones.

The aluminum body provides rigidity without adding excessive weight. The polycarbonate diffuser is transparent, which allows the light source to be seen and maximizes the amount of light emitted outward. Together they form a structure that does not deform, does not rust, and does not require frequent intervention. In a garden or park exposed to rain, wind, and temperature changes, these materials make a real difference.

The 3000K color temperature produces a warm light that is neither harsh nor cold. On a garden path, that tone creates a calm atmosphere at night, without the harshness of neutral white. It is a light that invites you to move through the space without straining your eyes. If the area includes plants, shrubs, or wooden elements, this warm lighting enhances them visually.

The DALI version allows this lamp to be integrated into more complex lighting control systems. If the project includes centralized regulation of outdoor lights, this beacon can be part of that system without the need to add additional components. This is a real advantage in garden or park installations where switching and intensity are managed from a central point.

The asymmetric 180º distribution is useful in situations where illuminating in all directions is not desirable. Next to a hedge, a wall, or the boundary of a plot, directing the light toward the interior of the space avoids disturbing neighbors and concentrates the illumination where it is needed. This is a technical detail that has a direct impact on the final result.

In terms of use possibilities, this lamp fits well in private gardens, residential entrances, internal pathways in housing developments, public parks, and passageways in collective-use facilities. It can also be used on a terrace with hard paving, where the ground allows it to be anchored securely. The IK10 resistance also makes it suitable for spaces with heavy pedestrian traffic, where the risk of accidental knocks is greater.

The included COB LED operates at 20 W, a reasonable power output for a beacon of these dimensions. The light source is built in, so nothing needs to be purchased separately to get started. The standard 220V–240V mains connection makes integration into any domestic installation straightforward.

Combined with other elements of the SCREEN collection or with wall luminaires in the same dark grey tone, this beacon helps to create an exterior with visual coherence. It does not draw excessive attention, but fulfills its function with precision.

Questions and answers

What does IP65 protection mean for this beacon and what conditions is it sufficient for?

The IP65 rating indicates that the lamp is fully protected against dust and against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor use in direct rain, garden irrigation, and humid environments. It is not designed for immersion, but for installation in the ground in the open air it is more than sufficient.

Does the DALI version require an external controller to operate, or can it be used without one?

The beacon works with a direct mains connection without the need for a DALI controller. Compatibility with this protocol is an additional option that is activated when connected to an existing DALI control system. If you do not have such a system, the lamp operates normally without external regulation.

Can the 180º light distribution be changed once the beacon is installed?

No. The asymmetric 180º distribution is a fixed characteristic of this version of the product. It is important to take this into account before installation and to orient the beacon correctly from the outset, pointing the beam toward the area to be illuminated.
