Overview

The SCREEN lamp by FARO is a surface-mounted luminaire designed for outdoor installation. It mounts directly onto the wall and provides light in gardens, patios, entrances, and passageways. The 360º version distributes light symmetrically around the lantern, with no shadow areas.

The body combines aluminium and polycarbonate, two materials that withstand outdoor conditions well. The IP65 protection means that rain and dust do not affect its operation. The IK10 rating indicates that the lantern can withstand impacts without the housing cracking or deforming. All of this makes it a practical option for spaces where the lamp is exposed to daily use.

FARO is a Spanish company specialising in lighting. Its SCREEN collection is designed for technical environments where performance and durability matter more than ornamentation.

Installation and specifications

Installing this lantern requires a firm, flat wall surface outdoors. The fixing is directly onto the wall, so it is advisable to check the type of wall material before choosing the anchors. As this is an outdoor electrical installation, the connection must be carried out by an electrician or a person with technical knowledge. Make sure to cut the power before starting assembly. The lantern is compatible with the standard 220V–240V electrical network.

The body surface is aluminium with a dark grey finish. To clean it, simply use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Abrasive products or solvents are not recommended. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser may accumulate dust over time; it is cleaned in the same way. Direct impacts should be avoided, although the IK10 protection level offers considerable resistance.

Design and use

The SCREEN lamp is a wall-mounted lantern belonging to a technical collection designed for outdoor use. The design is functional and restrained, with no decorative elements that might distract. The dark grey finish integrates easily into façades of various materials, from concrete to exposed brick.

The aluminium body provides lightness and corrosion resistance. It does not rust or lose integrity with humidity or prolonged sun exposure. The polycarbonate diffuser is a robust material that does not chip or crack easily, making it suitable for high-traffic areas or shared spaces such as parks or communal gardens.

The COB LED technology integrated into the lantern offers uniform light distribution. The 4000K colour temperature corresponds to neutral white light, which improves visibility without producing the cold or clinical effect of some higher-temperature lights. It is a light that allows good visibility of the ground, paths, and plants without significantly altering the atmosphere of the surroundings.

The 360º lighting option makes this lantern particularly useful when a wide area around the installation point needs to be covered. In a garden, for example, a single post or wall with this lamp can illuminate a circular area without leaving dark angles. For terraces or patios where users move in different directions, this symmetrical distribution is more efficient than a directional light.

The DALI version allows this lantern to be integrated into more advanced lighting control systems. This is useful when the installation is part of a larger project, where several lights need to be regulated independently or as a group. In residential installations, this type of control allows the intensity to be adjusted according to the time of day or the activity.

The SCREEN collection is designed for both private gardens and collective-use spaces. On a terrace, the lantern can be mounted on the boundary wall to illuminate the seating area. In an inner courtyard, it can be placed at an intermediate height to provide light without creating harsh shadows. In a larger garden, several lanterns distributed along the façade or a perimeter wall create a continuous line of light that defines the space.

It combines well with other outdoor elements that share straight lines and industrial materials. It is not a decorative piece in itself, but its understated nature means it does not compete with its surroundings. Ground-level bollards from the same collection can complement the installation if paths need to be marked or the garden perimeter indicated at ground level.

Installation on a post is also an option when no wall is available. In that case, the lantern can be adapted to different configurations depending on the needs of the space. The bollards and lanterns in this series share the same formal language, making it easy to create a coherent lighting scheme throughout the outdoor area.

Questions and answers

What does it mean that this lamp has IP65 protection?

IP65 indicates that the lantern is fully protected against dust and against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor installation without the need for additional protection against rain.

Does the 360º version illuminate equally in all directions from the wall?

Yes. The 360º option distributes light symmetrically around the lantern, allowing a wider area to be covered without any shadow areas next to the wall.

What is the DALI version and what is it used for in a domestic installation?

DALI is a control protocol that allows the lamp's intensity to be precisely regulated from a centralised system. In a domestic installation, it is used to adjust the lighting level according to use or time of day, without needing to change the bulb or the lantern.
