Overview

The CLAP projector by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed to be fixed directly to a tree trunk. Its compact structure and almost invisible volume means attention falls on the light, not the fixture. It is an option designed for those who want to add character to their garden, patio or outdoor space without introducing visual elements that distract.

The spotlight directs light at a 38° angle, allowing the beam to be concentrated on a specific area: the canopy of a tree, a façade, a large plant or any outdoor element worth highlighting. The 3000K colour temperature produces a warm light that, when falling on natural or architectural surfaces outdoors, creates an atmosphere with a scenic presence.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Its CLAP system integrates different pieces — stakes, bollards, wall lights, pendants, projectors — with a unified aesthetic, making it easy to create a garden with visual coherence using different light points.

Installation and specifications

This projector operates at 24VDC, so it requires a transformer or external power supply compatible with that voltage. Before installing the spotlight, make sure you have the appropriate equipment at the installation point. Fixing to the tree should be done carefully to avoid damaging the bark; it is recommended to periodically check the fastening as the tree grows. If you plan to combine this projector with the anti-glare visor ref. 75714-2, have it available before assembly so it can be installed at the same time. Given the electrical complexity of a low-voltage outdoor installation, it is advisable to hire an electrician.

To keep the projector in good condition, clean the aluminium surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or those containing solvents that could affect the black finish. Although this is an outdoor luminaire, it is worth checking the connections at the start of each season to detect any moisture or damage from prolonged exposure.

Design and use

The CLAP projector is an outdoor spotlight with tree-mounting fixing. Its body is made of black lacquered aluminium, a material that withstands the conditions typical of outdoor use: temperature variations, humidity and continuous exposure. The dark finish allows the fixture to blend into its surroundings, especially when placed on trunks or branches of similar colours.

The light source is an integrated COB LED, which delivers homogeneous luminous output within the beam. The 38° angle makes it a spotlight with a defined projection, suitable for accent lighting. It is not a luminaire designed to illuminate large areas, but to direct light with intention: a singular tree in the garden, an outdoor sculpture, a stone wall or the entrance to a terrace.

The 3000K colour temperature is a sound choice for outdoor spaces with vegetation or natural materials. This warm light avoids the coldness of higher colour tones and integrates naturally into night-time environments. The result is an outdoor space with depth and nuance, where darkness and light work together.

As part of the CLAP system, this projector can be combined with other luminaires from the same family. Ground stakes work as accent spotlights at ground level, bollards mark paths or access points, and wall lights add diffuse light to façades or walls. Using pieces from the same system in the garden or patio creates coherence without the need for excessive planning: all elements share the same aesthetic line.

For those who want to control glare, the projector accepts the anti-glare visor ref. 75714-2. This additional piece improves visual comfort when the spotlight is at eye level or in areas with frequent foot traffic. It is a useful detail in installations near seating areas, outdoor staircases or entrances where people pass frequently.

The projector operates at 24VDC, placing it within the low-voltage systems commonly used in garden lighting. This type of installation is safer outdoors and allows greater flexibility in the distribution of light points. The required transformer is not included, but a compatible one is easy to find for this voltage.

As for weight, 1.67 kg is a modest figure for an outdoor luminaire, making it easy to handle during installation. Direct tree fixing means it takes up no ground space and requires no construction work. It is a clean solution, especially in gardens where visible cables or structures at ground level are to be avoided.

Questions and answers

Does this projector require an external transformer to operate?

Yes. The spotlight operates at 24VDC, so it requires a compatible external power supply or transformer with that voltage. It is not included with the product.

Does the projector include the anti-glare visor or is it a separate accessory?

The anti-glare visor ref. 75714-2 is an optional accessory sold separately. It can be combined with this projector to reduce direct glare and improve visual comfort in areas with foot traffic.

Is the 38° angle fixed or adjustable?

The beam aperture angle is 38° and corresponds to the optics of the integrated COB LED. It is not adjustable, so it is worth taking this into account when deciding the position and orientation of the spotlight during installation.
