Overview
Overview
The KOV wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for outdoor use. It works well at entrances, façades, terraces, and access areas where controlled and long-lasting lighting is needed. Its round shape and black finish allow it to blend effortlessly into different styles, from the most simple to environments with a more technical or industrial character.
What sets this wall light apart is the combination of a recessed light source with direct and indirect emission. The lamp does not expose the light point directly, which reduces glare and makes outdoor visibility more comfortable. It can be oriented in unidirectional or bidirectional mode, and mounted both vertically and horizontally depending on how the wall outlet is positioned.
The built-in drainage system prevents water from accumulating inside the wall light, which is important in areas exposed to rain or humidity. The body is made of aluminium, a material that holds up well against outdoor conditions without adding unnecessary weight.
FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in designing luminaires for interiors and exteriors. Their products are aimed at those who seek functionality without sacrificing a refined aesthetic.
Installation and specifications
For installation, it is advisable to check that the wall is in good condition and that the electrical supply point is correctly positioned. As this is an outdoor lamp, the wiring must be protected and connections must be made with terminals suitable for outdoor use. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician. Before fixing the wall light to the wall, make sure the available voltage is 220V–240V.
For maintenance, simply clean the surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the aluminium finish. Do not handle the lamp while it is connected to the power supply. Since the LED spotlight is included and is an integrated part of the design, consult the technical service if you detect any problem with the light source.

Design and use
The KOV wall light has a compact design with no superfluous decorative elements. With a diameter of 80 mm and a height of 108 mm, it is a contained-size lamp that does not take up too much visual space on the wall, yet performs its function well.
The aluminium body provides resistance against temperature changes and the humidity typical of a garden or terrace. The black finish is uniform and requires no special maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. This colour works well with both stone or brick walls and smooth façades in neutral tones.
The COB LED light source with a colour temperature of 3000K emits a warm light, similar to traditional incandescent light. This makes it suitable for areas where a welcoming atmosphere is desired at night, such as a house entrance, an inner courtyard, or terrace access points. The 23° angle concentrates the light beam on a specific area, which is useful for illuminating specific elements: a door, a door number, a section of wall, or a passageway.
The ability to install the wall light vertically or horizontally gives more freedom when adapting it to the available space. Not all outdoor light points are positioned in the same way, and this flexibility allows better use of the existing installation without the need for additional work.
The drainage system included in the wall light is a technical detail that makes a difference in climates where it rains frequently. Any water that may enter has an exit route, which protects the interior of the spotlight and extends its useful life. This is a feature typical of luminaires genuinely designed for outdoor use, not merely adapted from an indoor design.
In terms of integration into the surroundings, the KOV wall light works well alongside other luminaires from the same line if you want to cover a longer stretch of façade or wall. It can also be used as the sole light source at a small entrance. Its neutral appearance makes it easy to coexist with more traditional lanterns or other wall lights with clean lines without creating excessive contrast.
For those with a garden or courtyard, this type of wall-mounted light is a practical solution when you do not want to install a post-mounted spotlight or a ground projector. It goes directly onto the wall, takes up no space on the pavement, and directs the light where it is needed. It does not include a motion sensor or presence detector, so switching on and off is managed from the usual switch.

Questions and answers
Can the KOV wall light be mounted both vertically and horizontally?
Yes. The design of the wall light allows it to be installed in both orientations. This provides more flexibility to adapt it to the existing light point on the wall, without the need to modify the electrical installation.
What type of light does it emit and for what distances is it suitable?
The lamp emits light with a colour temperature of 3000K, which is a warm tone. The beam angle is 23°, so it concentrates the beam on a specific area. It is suitable for illuminating specific points at short distances, such as a door, an access point, or a section of wall.
Is the LED spotlight included or does it need to be purchased separately?
The COB LED light source is included in the wall light. It does not need to be purchased separately.
