Overview

The KOV wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for outdoor use. It works well at building entrances, facades, terraces, and covered walkways where directed and controlled lighting is needed. Its square shape and white finish fit effortlessly into contemporary settings, both in private homes and collective-use spaces.

What sets this wall light apart is the combination of direct and indirect light with a recessed light source. This means the light point is not exposed to view: light emerges in a contained manner, without glare. It can be installed facing upward or downward, and the 23° emission angle in each direction allows light to be concentrated exactly where needed, without wasting it.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in the design and manufacture of luminaires. Its outdoor products are designed to withstand real-use conditions, combining technical criteria with careful aesthetics.

Installation and specifications

Before installing this outdoor wall light, check that the mounting surface is solid and free of surface moisture. As this is a wall-mounted lamp, the wiring must be routed to the anchor point before proceeding. It is recommended that the electrical installation be carried out by a qualified professional, especially in environments exposed to water or temperature variations. Always observe the safety distances indicated by the manufacturer and ensure that the mains voltage matches the product's values.

For maintenance, simply clean the surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the white aluminium finish. Do not handle the lamp while the installation is connected to the power supply. Periodically check the condition of the seal and drainage system to ensure there is no water accumulation inside.

Design and use

The KOV wall light is an outdoor wall lamp built in aluminium. The material provides weather resistance without adding unnecessary weight: the unit weighs just over one kilogram, which makes handling easier during installation. The white finish is uniform and remains stable over time if basic cleaning guidelines are followed.

The integrated COB LED technology ensures concentrated and homogeneous light emission. The light source is recessed within the body of the wall light, so that the light point is not directly visible from typical viewing angles. This reduces eye strain and improves comfort in spaces where the lamp is at eye level, such as an entrance or an outdoor corridor.

The color temperature of 3000K offers warm light that does not distort the colors of the surroundings. On a terrace or in a garden, that tone promotes a calm atmosphere as night falls. On a stone or rendered facade, the white housing and the warm tone of the light create a balanced combination that does not clash with traditional materials or more contemporary finishes.

The KOV design features two 23° emission angles, one upward and one downward. This configuration allows you to choose whether the lamp directs light in a single direction or in both simultaneously. At an entrance, for example, directing the light downward helps to mark the floor and the access point. Upward, the beam can highlight an architectural feature or simply soften the transition between the illuminated wall and the night sky.

The possibility of mounting the wall light in both vertical and horizontal positions expands the composition options. Two or more units placed horizontally on a wall can create an orderly line of lighting. In a vertical position, a single lamp is enough to mark an access point or frame an outdoor door.

One of the most practical aspects of this model is the built-in drainage system. Outdoors, rainwater or condensation can accumulate in the slots or joints of a luminaire. KOV is designed to drain that water passively, without any intervention. This reduces the risk of internal damage and extends the service life of the wall light.

Although it does not include a motion sensor or integrated detector, the lamp is compatible with external automation systems if they are installed in the corresponding electrical circuit. The very simplicity of its design makes it easy to integrate into more complex installations. In an entrance with an already-installed detector, for example, KOV can act as the associated luminaire without any modification to the unit.

The compact profile of 212 mm in height and 87 mm in depth means the wall light does not protrude too far from the wall. This is an advantage in narrow corridors, porches with limited lateral space, or facades with nearby architectural elements. The formal discretion of the unit is part of its proposition: it does not seek visual prominence, but rather to integrate naturally into its surroundings.

Questions and answers

Does the KOV wall light have a drainage system and what is it for?

Yes. The drainage system is integrated into the lamp's design and allows water accumulated from rain or condensation to drain away passively. This prevents standing water inside the wall light and helps keep the electrical components in good condition over time.

Can the wall light be installed in a horizontal position as well as vertical?

Yes. The KOV design allows both vertical and horizontal installation on the wall. This provides flexibility when composing outdoor lighting, whether on a facade, a terrace, or next to an entrance.

What is the light emission angle and how does it affect the lighting?

The wall light offers an angle of 23° upward and 23° downward. You can opt for unidirectional or bidirectional lighting depending on the mounting orientation. This allows you to concentrate the beam on a specific area, such as the access floor, or distribute the light in two directions for a greater visual presence on the wall.
