Overview

The SCREEN beacon by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed to be installed directly in the ground. Its natural setting is gardens, parks, pathways, and any outdoor area where upward or omnidirectional lighting is needed. The body measures 800 mm in height and 160 mm at the base, giving it a discreet yet visible presence even in large spaces.

What sets this lamp apart from the rest is the combination of protections: it is impact-resistant with an IK10 rating and features IP65, meaning it is unaffected by direct rain or dirt. This is not a beacon designed only for mild climates — it can remain outdoors year-round without issue.

The version described here includes CASAMBI control, which allows lighting to be managed from an app. It is a practical solution for those who want to control their outdoor lighting without leaving the sofa or installing additional switches.

FARO is a brand with decades of experience in outdoor and indoor lighting. Their products are designed to last and to integrate well into real spaces, not just catalogues.

Installation and specifications

For installation, this lamp is fixed to the ground from the base. Before placing it, check that the chosen point has access to the electrical network at 220V-240V. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, as it involves connection to the mains. Make sure the ground in the fixing area is stable and that the cable is not left exposed on the surface. If there are multiple light points in the garden, plan the cable routing before starting any work.

To keep the lamp in good condition, clean the body with a damp cloth without abrasive products. The transparent diffuser may accumulate dust over time — simply clean it gently to restore good light distribution. Although the IP65 protection covers rain, it is advisable to check the fixing base once a year to ensure no moisture has entered through the anchor point.

Design and use

The SCREEN collection was created with a clear purpose: to offer technical outdoor lighting that does not rely on decorative additions to function well. The result is a beacon with straight lines, a dark grey finish, and a transparent diffuser that integrates effortlessly into contemporary design gardens, while also blending into more natural environments.

The body is made of aluminium, a material that withstands temperature changes well and does not deteriorate with humidity. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser is impact-resistant — the IK10 rating indicates it can withstand considerable impacts, which is relevant in high-traffic areas or gardens with children. This combination of materials is no coincidence: aluminium for the structure, polycarbonate for protecting the light source.

The light source is a 20W COB LED with a colour temperature of 4000K. That temperature produces a neutral white light, without the yellowish tone of traditional lamps or the excessive coolness of 6000K. It is a light that allows paths, steps, and garden boundaries to be seen clearly without creating a warehouse-like atmosphere. For an access path, for the perimeter of a patio, or for highlighting a planting area, this tone works in a balanced way.

The 360º option distributes light symmetrically in all directions. This makes it an ideal beacon for the centre of a space — in the middle of a round garden, in a vegetation island, or at the base of a tree. The wide variant, on the other hand, projects light further horizontally, which is useful for illuminating long pathways or terrace edges where the beam needs to reach further.

The CASAMBI version adds a layer of smart control. The CASAMBI system works via Bluetooth and does not require a central hub. From the app, each lamp can be switched on, switched off, or dimmed individually or in groups. For someone planning the lighting of a garden with multiple light points, this simplifies management and eliminates the need to install switches outdoors.

At 800 mm in height, the beacon has sufficient presence to mark a path without obstructing the view. It is not a lamp that blends into the ground, nor one that competes with tall vegetation. It sits at an intermediate point that makes it visible and functional at the same time. In combination with other lighting points — ground spotlights, wall lights, or step recessed lights — it completes a coherent outdoor lighting scheme without needing to become the main element.

The garden lantern serves a dual function: it signals and it protects. The SCREEN beacon does this without drawing more attention than necessary.

Questions and answers

What does it mean that this beacon has IP65 protection?

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 throughout the year, even in areas with frequent rainfall.

Is the 360º option and the wide variant the same version of the product?

No. The 360º version distributes light symmetrically in all directions around the beacon. The wide variant projects the beam further laterally. Each one addresses different needs depending on the space and the result desired.

What is the CASAMBI system and what does it allow you to do with this lamp?

CASAMBI is a Bluetooth control system that does not require a central hub. It allows the lamp to be managed from a mobile app: switching on, switching off, and dimming. It can be integrated with other lamps in the same collection to create control groups in the garden.
