Overview

The CLAP projector by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for those who want to direct light with precision, without the fixture itself drawing attention. Its structure is small, almost invisible in the space, which means all the visual weight falls on what is being illuminated: a plant, a stone wall, a garden path, a façade.

It is part of an architectural lighting family that includes different outdoor solutions, all with the same aesthetic and designed to be combined with each other. This particular model works fixed to the ground, making it a useful tool for creating grazing light or accent effects in a garden, patio, or terrace.

FARO is a Spanish brand with years of experience in technical and decorative lighting. Its outdoor products are designed to work under real conditions of use, with materials and finishes intended to last.

Installation and specifications

To install this projector in the ground, it is recommended to plan the cable routing before placing the luminaire, especially if the run passes through areas with paving or gravel. Due to its compact dimensions, it is easy to integrate flush with the ground or on flat surfaces without any visual protrusion. The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified installer, following the current regulations for outdoor installations. Before starting, make sure the circuit is de-energized.

To keep the aluminium in good condition, simply clean the surface with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a neutral product. Avoid abrasive products or those containing solvents, as they can damage the oxide brown finish. Do not direct pressurized water jets directly onto the luminaire. Periodically check that the outdoor wiring shows no visible damage, especially after winter or after heavy rainfall.

Design and use

The CLAP spotlight has a size that surprises you when you see it in person. At just 63 mm high and 97 mm deep, it is one of those projectors that disappear into the surroundings. The aluminium body in an oxide brown finish blends in with the soil, with weathered wood, with natural stone. In a garden with vegetation or in a patio with a dark floor, the spotlight is practically invisible during the day. At night, what you see is the light.

That is precisely the effect this type of projector aims for: creating a space with character without showing the source. COB LED technology concentrates the emission at a single point, and the 24° angle allows the beam to be directed with considerable precision. At 2700K, the light has a warm tone that resembles classic incandescent light. It is the kind of light that gives a brick façade or a large-leafed plant volume and depth at night.

The light source is recessed toward the interior of the body, which reduces direct glare. When the projector points upward to illuminate a vertical element, the eye does not receive the direct impact of the LED. That detail makes a difference in outdoor spaces where people move close to the luminaires, such as in a private garden or a walkway. If you want to reduce glare even further, the CLAP anti-glare visor is compatible with this model and can be added without modifying the installation.

This projector is part of a family designed as a system. That means it can be combined with other elements from the same collection — bollards, wall lights, pendants, stakes — maintaining a coherent aesthetic throughout the outdoor space. There is no need to mix brands or search for pieces that happen to fit visually. The CLAP family is designed so that everything works together.

In terms of specific uses, the projector adapts well to situations where you want to highlight a single element: a sculpture in the garden, the trunk of a tree, a wooden panel on the façade, an entrance step. It also works as a grazing light reflector on a rough-textured wall, where the light at a low color temperature creates shadows that add depth to the material. In larger spaces, several spotlights of this type placed at different heights or angles can create a complete lighting scene without the need to install a powerful and bulky projector.

The reduced weight — 250 grams net — makes handling easier during installation. Despite its size, the aluminium gives it a solidity that you notice when you touch it. It is not a fragile piece. It is designed to be outdoors, exposed to temperature changes and to the moisture typical of a garden or patio.

Questions and answers

Is the 24° beam angle sufficient to illuminate a medium-sized plant or shrub?

It depends on the distance between the spotlight and the element to be illuminated. At close range, the 24° beam concentrates the light on a small, well-defined area. If the shrub has a large volume, it may be useful to place two projectors from different angles to better cover the canopy.

Can I combine this projector with other elements from the CLAP family without any differences in color or finish?

Yes. All products in the CLAP family share the same aesthetic line and are available in the same finishes. The oxide brown is consistent throughout the range, so combining it with bollards, wall lights, or other elements results in a uniform appearance.

Is the included COB LED light source replaceable?

The spotlight includes an integrated COB LED light source. For any queries regarding maintenance or replacement, we recommend contacting customer service before handling the luminaire.
