Overview
Overview
This outdoor recessed light from the brand FARO is designed to mark paths, entrances, and walkways on facades and exterior walls. It is installed in the wall and integrates into the surface without protruding too much. It is a discreet solution for those who need functional outdoor lighting without the fixture visually dominating the space.
The body is made of polycarbonate in a matte black finish, and the diffuser is made of transparent glass. This combination offers resistance to outdoor use and clean light that projects without distortion. The included LED source operates at 2700K, a warm color temperature that is pleasant for entrances, access areas, or garden surroundings, without the coldness that white light can sometimes produce.
FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in technical and decorative lighting. Its outdoor products are designed to withstand the conditions of use on facades, terraces, or patios, with materials selected for each application.
Installation and specifications
To install this recessed wall light, the corresponding recessed box is required, available under references 70274, 70275, and 70276. Before starting the installation, check that the wall can accommodate the installation depth indicated by the manufacturer. Electrical work must be carried out by a qualified professional. Always disconnect the power before handling the wiring.
To keep the glass diffuser in good condition, clean it with a damp cloth and no abrasive products. The polycarbonate body does not require special maintenance, but it is advisable to periodically check that no dirt has accumulated around the frame. Do not direct jets of water directly onto the fixture during cleaning.

Design and use
The FARO outdoor recessed wall light combines a restrained design with materials suited for facade use. Its polycarbonate body in matte black blends into dark or neutral walls, and its flat profile of 36 mm depth makes it compatible with walls that do not have much depth available for recessing.
The transparent glass diffuser allows light to exit without visual filters. This results in direct and uniform projection, which is useful in signage areas where good visibility of the ground is needed or where a path needs to be marked. The 2700K color temperature provides a warm tone that does not distort the colors of the surroundings and does not create the excessive brightness effect that can be uncomfortable near rest areas such as a garden or balcony.
The SMD LED light source is included and operates at a power of 3.1 W, making it a low-consumption spotlight for continuous use. It does not require frequent replacements and its switch-on is immediate from the very first moment.
This recessed fixture is designed to be installed in a wall, integrated into the wall of a facade, entrance, or covered outdoor area. It is a common option for marking the entrance to a home, defining the boundaries of a terrace, or illuminating the path from the gate to the door. It can also be used in interior courtyards or garden walls where discreet and functional lighting is desired.
Being recessed, it does not interfere with the movement of people and is not exposed to accidental impacts as surface-mounted fixtures are. This makes it especially practical in outdoor corridors, narrow access areas, or spaces where the gap between the wall and the walkway is limited.
The matte black version integrates well with dark facades, stone walls, treated wood cladding, or metallic finishes. If the facade is lighter or less contrast is desired, the same model is available in a white version. Combining several fixtures along a wall or at the base of a facade is a simple way to create coherent and orderly signage lighting.
Although this recessed fixture does not include a motion sensor or solar function, it can easily be connected to a timer system or an external detector that manages automatic switching. In this way, the spotlight can operate only when there is movement in the area, reducing consumption and extending the lamp's service life.
The reduced weight of 0.3 kg makes handling easier during installation. The dimensions of 190 x 80 mm make it visible without being conspicuous, and its profile integrated into the wall gives a sense of careful finishing on any facade or exterior wall.
