Overview

DART SQ is an outdoor recessed light designed for signage and orientation on facades, walls and entrances. It is installed directly into the wall and provides warm, directed light that marks out paths, steps or passageways without the need for additional elements. It is a practical solution for those seeking clear visual guidance outdoors without resorting to complex installations.

The body of the fixture is made of polycarbonate, a material that withstands outdoor conditions well. The diffuser is made of clear glass, allowing light to pass through cleanly and directly. The body finish is matte white, discreet and compatible with facades of various styles. This fixture is also available in black for those who prefer a darker finish.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long history in lighting. Their products are aimed at meeting specific needs in outdoor and indoor spaces, with materials designed to last and a functional design free of unnecessary elements.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall-recessed light, a corresponding recessed box is required, available under references 70274N, 70275N and 70276N. Before starting the installation, it is advisable to verify that the chosen box is compatible with the thickness of the wall where the fixture will be placed. Installation must be carried out by an electrician or a person with knowledge of electrical installations. The recessed light operates at standard mains voltage (220V-240V), so it is necessary to disconnect the power before handling any connections.

To keep the fixture in good condition, simply clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Abrasive products or solvents that could damage the body finish or the glass diffuser should not be used. Periodically checking the condition of the glass and the connections helps ensure correct operation over time.

Design and use

The DART SQ fits well at building entrances, garden accesses, outdoor steps or any area of a wall where a route needs to be marked with light without installing large luminaires. Its square format of 80 x 80 mm and only 36 mm depth allows it to integrate seamlessly into the wall without taking up visual space. A fixture of these dimensions goes almost unnoticed during the day and performs its function at night without overwhelming the surroundings with light.

The colour temperature of 3000K provides warm light that is not harsh outdoors. This type of light works best in passageways because it does not dazzle and allows clear visibility without creating excessive contrast with the dark surroundings. In a garden or on the facade of a house, that detail makes the difference between lighting that is intrusive and lighting that simply works.

The polycarbonate body withstands impacts well and does not degrade easily with changes in temperature or humidity. It is a common material in outdoor luminaires because it combines lightness and durability. The transparent glass diffuser does not significantly filter or scatter the light, so what the LED source emits reaches the outside directly. This is particularly useful in signage fixtures, where the priority is to clearly indicate a direction or a boundary.

The integrated SMD LED consumes only 2 W, making it an efficient option for installations where the fixture remains on for several hours. In a wall with multiple signage points, using this type of fixture at each point does not result in significant energy consumption. The light source is included, so it does not need to be purchased separately.

This wall-recessed light can also be combined with an external motion sensor so that the light activates only when someone approaches. Although the fixture itself does not incorporate a sensor or motion detector, its installation allows this type of automation to be integrated into the general circuit. In this way, the sensor controls when the lamp activates without the fixture having to include that function directly. To do this, the sensor is installed at another point in the circuit and manages the switching on of the fixture based on motion detection in the area.

The matte white body finish combines effortlessly with light-coloured facades, whitewashed walls or painted concrete walls. At an entrance, in a courtyard or at any outdoor access point, this fixture does not draw attention to itself, which is an advantage in signage lighting. The available black version serves the same purpose and may be more suitable for dark facades or environments where visual contrast is part of the design.

Questions and answers

Is it necessary to purchase any additional accessories to install the DART SQ in the wall?

Yes. A specific recessed box is required to recess this fixture into the wall. The compatible references are 70274N, 70275N and 70276N. Without this box, the installation cannot be carried out correctly.

What type of light does this recessed fixture emit and how is it perceived outdoors?

The LED source of this recessed fixture emits light at 3000K, a warm colour temperature. Outdoors it is perceived as soft light without excessive brightness, suitable for passageways and night-time signage in gardens or on facades.

Does the DART SQ fixture include an integrated motion sensor?

No. The fixture does not incorporate a motion sensor. If you wish to activate the light via motion detection, the sensor must be installed as an independent element in the same electrical circuit.
