Overview

SCREEN is a surface-mounted outdoor luminaire designed to illuminate facades, gardens, entrances, and common areas of parks. It is fixed directly to the wall — surface-mounted — and projects light downward in a controlled manner. The 180º distribution option allows surfaces to be covered asymmetrically, which is useful when light needs to be directed toward a specific side without wasting it in other directions.

The lamp emits warm light at 3000K, a temperature that creates a calm and welcoming atmosphere. It is a tone that works well on private terraces, house entrances, and gardens where a relaxed ambiance is sought after nightfall. The lantern includes a COB LED light source, so there is no need to purchase a bulb separately.

FARO is a Spanish company with a long track record in technical and decorative lighting. Its products are aimed at both residential use and larger-scale projects, with special attention to the performance and durability of materials.

Installation and specifications

To install this lamp, it must be fixed to a sturdy vertical surface. Before starting, verify that the support is solid and can bear the weight of the lantern. The wiring must be concealed inside the wall or run through a protective conduit suitable for outdoor installations. It is recommended that the electrical connection be carried out by a professional, especially in areas exposed to rain.

The transparent diffuser and aluminum body require no special maintenance. A clean, damp cloth is sufficient to remove accumulated dust or dirt. Avoid the use of abrasive products or solvents that could damage the surface. Periodically check that the fixing points remain secure and that there is no moisture buildup around the wiring.

Design and use

The SCREEN lantern has a compact and straightforward design. Its aluminum body with a dark grey finish gives it a sober presence that does not compete with its surroundings. The structure is robust, with IK10 impact resistance that protects it against accidental impacts in heavily used spaces. The IP65 rating ensures that neither dust nor rain affects the lantern's performance.

The body material combines aluminum and polycarbonate, making it lightweight compared to other metal luminaires but equally durable. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to pass through without distorting it, enabling the beam to reach the ground clearly. In gardens with paths or stairs, that precision in light projection has real practical value.

The SCREEN collection is designed specifically for post, facade, and wall-mounted applications in outdoor environments. This particular lamp is fixed to the wall, which distinguishes it from other solutions such as ground bollards or post lanterns. It takes up little space, does not protrude excessively from the wall, and directs the luminous flux downward, where it is most needed.

The 3000K color temperature produces a warm white light that is neither cold nor harsh. On a terrace or at the entrance of a home, that tone creates a sense of continuity between the interior and the exterior. Warm lights also tend to integrate better with vegetation, stone, and other natural materials found in gardens and patios.

The 180º asymmetric lighting option expands installation possibilities. When placed on a side wall, it can project light toward the path or patio side without illuminating the opposite area. This allows for more precise control of the space and avoids excess light in areas where it is not needed.

As for installation, the wall-mounted solution is clean and definitive. It requires neither a post nor a pedestal, nor additional bollards if the placement is well planned. The lantern integrates directly into the architecture of the space and becomes part of the wall as if it had always been there.

This lamp fits well in contexts where outdoor aesthetics matter as much as functionality. The dark grey finish of the lantern adapts to stone facades, exposed concrete, aged brick, or modern cladding without appearing discordant. It is not a piece that draws attention to itself, but rather accompanies the surroundings and completes them. On a terrace with natural stone paving, for example, the warm light it projects enhances the texture of the ground and creates an atmosphere that invites you to stay.

In gardens where other lighting solutions already exist — ground-level bollards, post lanterns, or lights recessed into the paving — this type of wall-mounted lamp acts as a natural complement. It adds a layer of light at mid-height that visually connects the illuminated ground with the upper part of the space. The result is a more balanced distribution, without pronounced shadow zones between the low light points and the darkness of the sky.

It is also a valid option for entrances and passageways where there is no possibility of installing a post or where ground bollards are not viable due to the type of paving. Fixed to the side wall of a garden path, the lamp projects light directly onto the traffic surface without the need for additional elements. The 180º asymmetric distribution is especially useful in these cases: all the light goes where it is needed, without wasting it upward or toward the wall.

For those seeking visual coherence outdoors, the SCREEN collection allows combining different formats — wall-mounted, post lantern, bollards — within the same aesthetic language. All elements share the same materials, finishes, and color temperature. That uniformity is what gives the ensemble an orderly and considered appearance, rather than a collection of unrelated pieces. If the project also includes solar lighting or motion sensor integration, it is worth planning this from the outset so that each light point fulfills its function without overlap.

In practice, what you notice when you turn on this lamp is simple: the outdoor space gains presence without losing its character. The garden or terrace becomes usable at night, with a light that does not dazzle or distort colors. It is the kind of result that is not easy to describe but is perceived immediately upon arriving home at the end of the day.

Questions and answers

Is the IP65 rating sufficient for areas with direct and heavy rain?

Yes. IP65 indicates that the lantern is completely protected against dust and against pressurized water jets from any direction. It is suitable for outdoor installations exposed to rain.

What advantage does the 180º asymmetric light distribution offer compared to standard distribution?

It allows the light beam to be directed toward a single direction, for example toward a path or the floor of a patio, without illuminating the opposite wall or areas that do not require it. It is useful when you want to concentrate light in a specific area.

Is the included COB LED source replaceable?

The lamp includes the LED source from the factory. For any queries regarding maintenance or replacement of components, write to us and you will be guided on an individual basis.
