Overview
Overview
The FARO wall light is designed to illuminate the exterior of the home in a controlled and long-lasting way. Intended for facades, entrances, terraces and passageways, this wall light allows you to direct the light upward, downward or in both directions at once, thanks to its directional fins. The result is a lamp that not only serves a practical function, but also forms part of the visual appearance of the space.
What sets this wall light apart is the control it offers over the light beam. Not every situation requires the same thing: sometimes the goal is to illuminate the ground in front of a door, other times it is useful to highlight the texture of a wall or create a decorative effect on the facade. With the included fins, that decision is left in the hands of the user.
FARO is a brand with a well-established track record in the lighting sector. Their outdoor luminaires combine technical criteria with attention to design, and are built to last under real outdoor conditions.
Installation and specifications
Before installing the wall light, check that the wall surface is clean, level and capable of supporting the anchor. As this is an outdoor luminaire, it is important to properly seal the cable entry points to prevent moisture ingress. The electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with current regulations. Do not connect the wall light to a voltage other than that indicated in the specifications.
To clean the aluminium body, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the matt white finish. The opal glass can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Periodically check that the fixing screws are in good condition and that there is no accumulation of dirt on the directional fins that could affect operation.

Design and use
This outdoor wall light combines an aluminium body with an opal glass diffuser. The aluminium provides resistance against environmental conditions, while the matt white finish gives it a clean look that integrates well into modern facades or light-coloured walls. The opal glass softens the light emission and prevents direct glare, which is especially useful in areas where people pass frequently.
The directional fins are the most practical element of this lamp. They allow you to adjust the light focus according to the specific need: upward only to create an illuminated wall effect, downward only to guide movement on a terrace or entrance, or in both directions for broader illumination. This flexibility means the same wall light can be used in different ways depending on the context.
The colour temperature of 3000K produces a warm light, close to that of traditional incandescent bulbs. This type of light creates a pleasant atmosphere in outdoor night-time settings, without the coldness characteristic of higher colour temperatures. It is a common choice in gardens and patios where a welcoming atmosphere is desired after sunset.
The lamp includes an integrated SMD LED light source, which simplifies installation and eliminates the need to purchase bulbs separately. The consumption of 2x3 watts is modest for the level of illumination it provides, making it a reasonable option for continuous use during night-time hours.
As for the dimensions, the wall light measures 140 mm in length, 111 mm in height and 110 mm in depth. These are compact measurements that allow it to be installed without taking up too much visual space on the wall. It works well both at individual entrances and repeated in series along a facade or outdoor corridor.
This wall light fits well on the facades of single-family homes, next to garage doors, on covered terraces or at garden access points. It can also be used in common areas of buildings or in premises with outdoor access. In all these contexts, the combination of matt white and opal glass maintains a neutral appearance that does not clash with other elements in the surroundings, such as lanterns, railings or pavements of different materials.
If a motion sensor is installed separately outdoors, this wall light can be integrated into that circuit without difficulty. The lamp itself does not include a motion detector, but its design is compatible with external control systems. In this way, the light only activates when there is movement in the area, which reduces consumption and improves access security.
The net weight of 0.77 kg makes installation manageable for one person, although it is always recommended to have assistance for the final level adjustment and wall fixing.

Questions and answers
Are the directional fins fixed or can they be adjusted after installing the wall light?
The directional fins allow you to orient the light beam upward, downward or in both directions. The adjustment can be made according to the needs of the space, both at the time of installation and afterwards.
Is the LED light source included or does it need to be purchased separately?
The SMD LED light source is included in the wall light. No additional bulb needs to be purchased for it to function.
Does the opal glass diffuser hold up well under outdoor conditions?
The opal glass is integrated into a luminaire designed for outdoor use. Together with the aluminium body, it forms a unit built to withstand the typical conditions of installation on facades, terraces and open-air passageways.
