Overview

The CLAP projector by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for those who want to highlight a garden element, a facade, or an entrance without the lamp itself drawing attention. Its size is remarkably small, and that is precisely what sets it apart: it almost disappears into the surroundings and lets the light do all the work.

It is installed directly in the ground, making it an effective solution for uplighting plants, walls, sculptures, or pathways in outdoor spaces. The 3000K color temperature produces a warm light that does not distort the natural colors of the environment and creates a calm atmosphere as night falls.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in luminaire design for both residential use and larger-scale projects. Its CLAP line reflects that approach: products with a clean aesthetic and functionality designed to adapt to different configurations.

Installation and specifications

To install this ground spotlight, the electrical connection point must be prepared in advance, as the luminaire requires mains power. Before fixing it, verify that the wiring is properly protected and suitable for outdoor use. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially if it involves underground work or proximity to water features such as pools or ponds. Make sure the anchoring surface is firm and level so that the projector is correctly oriented from the start.

To keep the finish in good condition, clean the aluminum body with a slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive or harsh chemical products. Periodically check that there is no accumulation of soil or debris around the luminaire, as being at ground level it may be exposed to splashes or minor impacts. Do not handle the light source while the installation is connected to the mains.

Design and use

The CLAP spotlight has a compact construction that, at first glance, is easy to overlook. Its dimensions are very small — just 63 mm high, 36 mm wide, and 97 mm deep — which allows it to blend into paving or vegetation without creating a visual presence that competes with the surroundings. The body is aluminum with an oxide brown finish that blends well with soil, gravel, or the natural surfaces of a garden or patio.

The COB LED light source is recessed within the projector body. This is not a minor detail: it means the light point is not directly exposed to view, which naturally reduces glare. The 38° beam angle concentrates the light with precision, making it particularly useful when you want to illuminate a specific element — the trunk of a tree, a stone wall, an entrance — without the light spreading into areas of no interest.

This type of ground spotlight works well both in individual installations and in compositions where several projectors work together. Placed in a row along a path or outdoor staircase, they create a visual guide that is both practical and elegant. Grouped around a planted area, they generate a dramatic effect where the plant or tree becomes the center of attention.

The CLAP family by FARO is designed with aesthetic consistency: all the pieces that make it up share the same visual language. This allows you to combine this projector with other elements from the same line — bollards, wall lights, stakes — and maintain a uniform result throughout the outdoor space. For those designing or renovating a garden, terrace, or entrance, that uniformity greatly simplifies decision-making.

The oxide brown finish of the aluminum is not just an aesthetic choice: it is an option designed for outdoor environments where the material is exposed to the elements. Aluminum is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to maintain. Its weight of just 250 grams makes handling during installation straightforward.

The CLAP projector is also compatible with the CLAP anti-glare visor, an accessory that allows further adjustment of visual comfort in situations where people are close to the light point. It is a useful option when the spotlight is located in a thoroughfare or in a space where someone may be directly facing the beam.

The 3000K temperature places this light in the warm range, which favors relaxed and natural atmospheres. In a garden, this powerful yet warm tone enhances the greens of the vegetation and the ochres of the stone without creating the coldness that lights with higher color temperatures sometimes produce. It is a light that invites you to be outside, making the outdoor space feel like a habitable extension of the home.

Questions and answers

Does the CLAP projector include the COB LED light source, or does it need to be purchased separately?

The COB LED light source is included in the projector. There is no need to purchase it separately or look for compatibility with other types of bulb.

Is the oxide brown finish on the aluminum body resistant to continuous outdoor use?

Aluminum is a common material in outdoor luminaires precisely because of its resistance. The oxide brown finish is designed to blend into natural environments and maintain a stable appearance over time with exposure to the typical conditions of a garden or patio.

Is it possible to combine this spotlight with other elements from the FARO CLAP family?

Yes. The CLAP projector shares aesthetics and system with the rest of the family, allowing it to be combined with bollards, wall lights, or other solutions from the same line without any visual differences between them.
