Overview

The RUSH 3700 floor lamp by FARO is a technical luminaire designed for outdoor installation, intended to illuminate gardens, parks and open-air spaces where functional and long-lasting lighting is needed. With a height of 3.7 metres, it covers a wide area from the ground without requiring additional structures. It is a floor lamp that does not depend on solar energy or rechargeable batteries, but works directly from the mains at 220–240V, guaranteeing constant and stable lighting under any conditions.

The body is made of aluminium and polycarbonate, giving it a sturdy structure without adding unnecessary weight. The version with asymmetric 180° light distribution allows the beam to be directed where it is needed most, rather than dispersing it equally in all directions. This is useful when the lamp is placed near a wall, a path or the boundary of a plot.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in residential and technical lighting. Its outdoor products are designed to withstand real climatic conditions, backed by appropriate materials and certifications.

Installation and specifications

Preparation and installation. This floor lamp is fixed to the ground, so before installing it, it is advisable to plan the route of the underground wiring and verify that the anchor point is firm and level. The connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician. As this is a luminaire with DALI control, a compatible system is required if you wish to make use of that function. The height of 3.7 metres requires caution during assembly; it is recommended to have assistance to keep the pole in a vertical position while the base is secured.

Use and maintenance. To clean the surface, a damp cloth and mild detergent are sufficient. Abrasive products or solvents that could damage the aluminium finish or the polycarbonate diffuser should not be used. Although the IP65 rating protects against water and solids, it is advisable to periodically check the condition of the sealing and anchor points, especially after episodes of strong wind or heavy rain.

Design and use

The RUSH 3700 floor lamp is part of a technical outdoor lighting collection developed by FARO. The design is straightforward and functional, with a slender square-section profile of 160 mm that does not visually distract in the space, yet performs its function effectively. The dark grey finish integrates well both in natural surroundings and in paved access areas or gardens with a contemporary design. It is not a solar lamp, but a mains-connected luminaire, making it suitable for permanent installations where lighting must be continuous and predictable.

The body combines aluminium and polycarbonate, two materials that complement each other well in outdoor applications. The aluminium provides structural rigidity and dissipates the heat generated by the light source, while the transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows the LED light to pass through with little loss. The IK10 impact resistance rating means the unit can withstand considerable impacts without deforming or breaking, which is relevant in public environments or areas with pedestrian traffic. The IP65 rating ensures that neither rain nor dust will affect the lamp's operation, even in demanding climatic conditions.

The 38W COB LED light source emits at 2700K, a warm colour temperature that gives the garden or park a more welcoming atmosphere during night-time hours. Unlike cold light, this tone does not create a sense of coldness in the space. The asymmetric 180° distribution projects the light to one side, which is particularly useful along paths, walkways or plot boundaries, where the aim is to illuminate the passage area without wasting light on areas that do not require it.

Compatibility with the DALI protocol allows this floor lamp to be integrated into broader lighting management systems. This is useful in larger-scale installations where the intensity of the lighting needs to be regulated centrally, for example in communal gardens, building entrances or private parks. No external motion sensor or rechargeable system is required, as management is carried out directly from the DALI controller.

Regarding integration with the surroundings, the clean profile of this floor lamp makes it compatible with gardens of a modern aesthetic, but also with more classical spaces where discreet lighting is sought. It can be combined with other outdoor luminaires from the same collection to create a coherent lighting line along a path or perimeter. The 3.7-metre pole projects light from a height that avoids direct glare and distributes the illumination more evenly across the ground.

Questions and answers

Does this floor lamp require a DALI system to operate, or can it be connected directly to the mains without one?

The floor lamp operates with a direct connection to the mains at 220–240V without the need for a DALI controller. DALI compatibility is an additional option for those who wish to integrate it into a lighting management system, but it is not required for basic operation.

What does the asymmetric 180° light distribution mean on this floor lamp?

It means that the light beam is projected in a semicircle, directed to one side rather than distributed in all directions. This is useful when the lamp is installed next to a wall, a path or the boundary of an area, as it concentrates the lighting where it is actually needed.

Is IP65 protection sufficient for installations in areas with frequent rainfall?

Yes. The IP65 rating indicates that the lamp is protected against water jets from any direction, as well as being completely dustproof. It is suitable for permanent outdoor use, even in climates with regular rainfall.
