Overview

The FARO exterior wall light is a solution designed for those who want to illuminate a façade, a terrace, or a garden without sacrificing the visual appearance of the space. It mounts directly onto the wall and projects a warm light that makes the exterior look neat and well-resolved, both at night and at dusk when the sun begins to set.

What sets this wall light apart is its directional fin system. It allows you to aim the light beam exactly where it is needed, without wasting illumination on areas of no interest. This is useful when you want to highlight an entrance, light up a path, or simply create a pleasant atmosphere in the patio without the lamp causing glare.

FARO is a brand with years of experience in indoor and outdoor lighting. Its products combine durable materials with a design that fits different types of spaces, from modern environments to façades with a more classical character.

Installation and specifications

For installation, a recessed junction box in the wall or an equivalent surface compatible with the wall light's fixing system is required. Since this is an outdoor lamp, it is recommended that the wiring be properly protected and that the installation be carried out by a qualified electrician. Before mounting the fixture to the wall, it is advisable to verify that the surface is solid and capable of supporting the weight of the wall light.

To clean the aluminium body, a soft, slightly damp cloth is sufficient. The transparent glass can be cleaned with standard glass products, avoiding abrasive materials. The lamp should not be handled while the power is connected. Periodically checking the condition of the sealing and fixing points helps to keep the wall light in good condition over time.

Design and use

The body of this wall light is made from die-cast aluminium, a material that combines mechanical strength with lightness. The matt white finish gives it a clean appearance that does not accumulate visual dirt and adapts well to both light-coloured walls and darker surfaces. It is a wall light that does not draw excessive attention during the day, but fulfils its function when the sun goes down and outdoor lighting becomes necessary.

The transparent glass diffuser allows the light source to be seen directly, which reinforces the sense of brightness and makes the projected beam more defined. This combination of an opaque body and transparent glass is common in luminaires that seek a balance between form and function, without the design interfering with lighting performance.

The colour temperature of 3000K produces a warm light, similar to that of a traditional incandescent bulb. This type of lighting is suitable for areas where you want to create a welcoming atmosphere: the entrance to a house, a terrace where time is spent in the evenings, or the access to a garden. It is not a cold working light, but a light that invites you to linger.

The directional fins are one of the most practical elements of this wall light. They allow the direction of the beam to be adjusted without needing to change the position of the fixture on the wall. This is especially useful when you want to illuminate a specific area, such as an access path or a house number on a façade, without the light spreading to unwanted areas. It also allows simple decorative effects to be created, combining illuminated zones and areas in shadow to give depth to the outdoor space.

Although it does not have a built-in motion sensor, the wall light can work perfectly alongside an external detector installed in the electrical circuit. So, if you want to add automatic motion-activated switching functionality, you simply need to include that component in the installation without modifying the lamp. The same applies if you wish to programme switching based on the absence of sunlight, using an external dusk-to-dawn switch.

As for the spaces where it fits best, this wall light works well on the façades of single-family homes, at the entrances of buildings, on covered terraces, or on garden walls. The compact size of the wall light, at just 165 mm in height, makes it discreet without losing presence. It can be installed alone as a single light point, or combined with other luminaires from the same range to achieve more uniform lighting along a wall or a path.

The matt white colour allows the wall light to integrate effortlessly into painted façades, whitewashed walls, or light-toned cladding. It also contrasts naturally with materials such as dark wood or stone, where the white acts as a visual light point during the day, even when the lamp is switched off.

Questions and answers

Do the directional fins on the wall light allow the light to be aimed downward or also at other angles?

The fins allow the light beam to be directed in different directions, not only downward. This provides flexibility to adapt the lighting according to the position of the wall light on the wall and the area you want to highlight.

Is the included COB LED lamp replaceable if it fails?

The COB LED light source comes included from the factory. For any queries regarding replacement or substitution, the most advisable course of action is to contact customer service before carrying out any intervention.

Is this outdoor wall light suitable for installation in areas directly exposed to sun and rain?

The wall light is made from die-cast aluminium and glass, materials commonly used in outdoor luminaires. To find out the exact level of protection against moisture and to determine whether it is suitable for a specific installation, it is recommended to consult the official FARO technical data sheet or contact us.
