Overview

The FARO CLAP projector is an outdoor luminaire designed to illuminate trees, facades and garden features with precision and discretion. Its compact structure makes the spotlight almost disappear visually, giving all the prominence to the light effect it creates. It is a solution designed for those who want to transform an outdoor space into something with character, without the fixture itself drawing attention.

The projector is part of the CLAP system, a family of outdoor products with a unified aesthetic. This means it can be combined with stakes, bollards, wall lights and other luminaires from the same line, maintaining visual coherence throughout the environment. FARO is a Spanish brand with a track record in technical and decorative lighting, with products designed for both residential use and larger-scale projects.

Installation and specifications

This projector operates at 24V direct current, so it requires a compatible transformer or power supply before installation. As it is a ground-mounted luminaire placed next to a tree, it is important to ensure anchoring on a firm and stable surface. Cables must be protected underground or through suitable outdoor conduits. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially due to the need to manage wiring in open spaces.

For maintenance, simply clean the aluminium body with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive products that could damage the black finish. Do not direct water jets directly onto the electrical connections. Periodically check that the anchoring remains firm, especially after periods of heavy rain or frost.

Design and use

The CLAP projector is designed to create atmospheres in open-air spaces. When installed next to a tree in the garden or patio, the spotlight directs a precise beam of light upwards, highlighting the texture of the trunk or canopy. The 38° angle concentrates the accent light without dispersing it, generating a clean and controlled scenic effect. It is not about lighting to see, but about composing.

The body is made of aluminium, a material that combines lightness with durability for outdoor use. The black finish favours visual integration: during the day, the projector is virtually unnoticed among the vegetation or at the base of a tree. It is this reduced volume that makes it especially useful in well-tended gardens, where technical elements should not interfere with the overall aesthetic.

The 3000K colour temperature produces a warm light, similar to that of a candle or a low-energy incandescent bulb. This tone is particularly suitable for enhancing natural materials such as wood, stone or foliage. If the goal is to create a seating area on the terrace or in the garden with a relaxed atmosphere at dusk, this type of warm light contributes to that feeling without appearing cold or clinical.

The CLAP system allows the projector to be combined with other pieces from the same family: stakes for bordering paths, bollards for demarcating zones or wall lights. In this way, the outdoor space can have coherent and planned lighting, where each piece fulfils a specific function. This particular projector can function both as a primary accent spotlight and as a complementary element within a larger ensemble.

For those seeking greater visual comfort, the projector is compatible with the anti-glare visor ref. 75714-2. This accessory reduces glare when the luminaire falls within the direct field of vision, which is common in passageways or in spaces where people remain seated near the light. It is an option worth considering if the projector is installed in a patio or terrace where people sit close to it.

The included COB LED light source offers uniform and compact emission, without hot spots or irregularities in the beam. LED technology reduces consumption and extends the service life of the installation, which for an outdoor projector means fewer maintenance interventions over time. With only 6W of power, the reflector delivers sufficient intensity to highlight garden features without generating excessive light pollution.

This type of spotlight is suitable for both private gardens and outdoor areas of detached houses, spaces next to the pool or illuminated entrances. Its discreet format and floor mounting make it especially versatile in environments where the projector should not visually compete with the element it illuminates. The result achieved is a light that appears almost naturally, as if the tree or element itself had its own presence in the darkness.

Questions and answers

Does this projector need an external transformer to operate?

Yes. The spotlight operates at 24V direct current, so a compatible power supply or transformer is required. It cannot be connected directly to the domestic 230V electrical mains.

Does the projector include the light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The COB LED light source is included. No additional bulb needs to be purchased to start up the projector.

Is it possible to reduce glare if the projector is near a passageway or seating area?

Yes. The projector is compatible with the anti-glare visor ref. 75714-2, which is purchased separately. This accessory limits the direct viewing angle of the light and improves visual comfort in areas where people may be exposed to the reflector's beam.
