Overview

The CLAP projector by FARO is an outdoor spotlight designed for those who want to illuminate gardens, patios, and entrances with precision, without the luminaire drawing more attention than the space itself. Its structure is small, almost imperceptible, and all the visual energy falls on the light it projects. It is installed in the ground and designed to create accent points outdoors: highlighting a plant, a stone wall, a tree, or an architectural element.

What sets this projector apart within the CLAP family is its versatility. It can be integrated into different configurations alongside other elements from the same line: stakes, bollards, wall lights, and pendants share a unified aesthetic. This allows you to build a coherent outdoor lighting system without mixing styles or visual references.

FARO is a brand with a long history in luminaire design. Its catalog covers both residential solutions and larger-scale projects, always with attention to constructive detail and lighting results.

Installation and specifications

For ground installation, it is advisable to have a qualified electrician, as the cable routing requires a trench or protected conduit in accordance with current regulations. Before placing the spotlight, verify that the ground is level and that the anchoring point is away from areas where water accumulates. The projector must be connected to an outdoor circuit with adequate protection.

For maintenance, clean the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the aluminum finish. Periodically check that no dirt has accumulated in the beam aperture, as this can affect light distribution.

Design and use

The CLAP projector has compact dimensions that make it one of the most discreet outdoor spotlights on the market. With just 63 mm in height and 36 mm in width, its volume is minimal. When installed in the ground, it practically disappears into the surroundings. That invisibility is precisely its strong point: the spotlight does not compete with the scene, it builds it.

The body is made of aluminum with an oxide brown finish. This tone integrates well with natural surfaces such as earth, stone, or treated wood. In a garden with vegetation, the color of the projector blends with the surroundings and creates no distractions during the day. At night, what remains is the light.

The COB LED light source emits at 3000K, a warm color temperature that suits environments with vegetation and natural materials. This type of light accentuates textures and creates soft contrasts, without coldness. The 24-degree angle concentrates the beam and allows it to be directed precisely toward the point to be highlighted: the canopy of a tree, a brick wall, a garden sculpture, or the base of an outdoor staircase.

The light source is recessed inside the body, which reduces direct glare. Anyone walking near the projector does not receive the frontal impact of the LED, but only the light projected onto the target surface. This is especially useful in transit areas, such as paths or entrances, where visual comfort matters as much as the signaling function.

The CLAP projector is the core of a broader system. The CLAP family includes solutions for different outdoor situations: from the bollard at the edge of a path to the adjustable reflector for facades. Using several elements from the same line allows you to create a space with visual coherence, where the lighting is part of the design rather than simply accompanying it. On a terrace or patio where different planes coexist, combining the ground projector with wall lights from the same family produces a scenic result without the need for complex installations.

For those who want even finer control over glare, this projector is compatible with the CLAP anti-glare visor. It is an accessory that attaches directly to the body and restricts the lateral viewing angle of the beam. It is useful in spaces where the projector is visible from elevated points or where people are seated near the installation point.

The total weight is 0.25 kg, which makes both transportation and handling during installation easier. Despite its compact size, the aluminum provides solidity to the body and resistance to the conditions typical of outdoor use.

Questions and answers

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

The COB LED light source is included from the factory. No additional components need to be purchased for the projector to function.

Is the 24° angle fixed or adjustable?

The beam angle is fixed at 24 degrees. If greater control over lateral glare is needed, the projector is compatible with the CLAP anti-glare visor, which is purchased separately.

Does the oxide brown finish hold up well to outdoor conditions over time?

The body is made of aluminum, a material that withstands continuous outdoor exposure well. The oxide brown finish is designed precisely to blend into natural environments and maintain its appearance with basic maintenance.
