Overview

The CLAP wall light by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for wall mounting. Its nearly invisible linear profile means all attention falls on the light itself, not on the lamp body. It is a solution designed for those who want to illuminate a façade, terrace, or garden with a scenic result: well-defined areas of light, with no visually distracting elements.

CLAP is part of a broader outdoor lighting system that includes stakes, bollards, spotlights, and pendants, all sharing the same aesthetic. This allows different pieces to be combined in the same space while maintaining visual coherence. The wall-mounted version is especially useful when you want to create a specific atmosphere without installing multiple light sources of different origins.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in technical and decorative lighting. Their outdoor luminaires are designed for real environments, with materials and finishes that perform well under typical usage conditions.

Installation and specifications

Before installing this wall light, it is advisable to verify that the surface is solid and capable of supporting the weight of the assembly. As this is an outdoor luminaire, it is recommended to check the condition of the support before fixing the piece, especially on façades exposed to humidity or temperature variations. The connection operates at 24V DC, so an adequate power supply must be available before proceeding with installation. If you do not have experience with outdoor electrical installations, it is most prudent to consult a professional.

For maintenance, simply clean the aluminium surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the black finish. In areas with heavy dust or airborne particles, periodic cleaning helps maintain the lamp's optical performance.

Design and use

The CLAP wall light has a design that prioritises structural discretion. The aluminium body is built with a reduced-volume profile, making the lamp barely noticeable on the wall during the day. When night falls, the light takes centre stage and the fixture visually disappears into the surroundings. This balance between presence and invisibility is what makes this wall light an interesting option for those who want to take care of both the daytime aesthetic and the night-time effect.

The black aluminium finish works well in a wide variety of environments. It pairs with stone façades, exposed concrete, dark wood, or modern cladding. In a garden with dense vegetation, the black colour of the wall light integrates without creating harsh contrasts. On a terrace with a more refined aesthetic, it reinforces the visual line of the whole without adding decorative noise.

The colour temperature of 3000K produces a warm light, close to a slightly golden white. This tone is the most commonly used in spaces where atmosphere is sought: residential entrances, inner courtyards, outdoor living areas. It avoids the coldness of higher colour temperatures and generates a sense of warmth that is difficult to achieve with more neutral or cool light sources. The spotlight, with a 38-degree beam angle, concentrates the beam and allows it to be directed precisely onto a specific surface, a plant, an architectural feature, or a section of wall.

The CLAP system allows this wall light to be combined with other pieces from the same family, such as tree projectors, ground bollards, or garden stakes. By maintaining the same formal language and the same finish, the final result is a coherently lit space, without the need to mix brands or seek compromise solutions. In a medium-sized garden, for example, the wall light can be used on the façade, bollards on the pathways, and stakes among the vegetation, achieving different light heights without losing visual unity.

For those who need greater visual comfort, the wall light is compatible with the anti-glare visor reference 75714-2. This is an accessory added to the spotlight to reduce direct glare, especially useful when the lamp is at eye level or when it is installed in areas where people remain seated. On a terrace with a sofa area, or at an entrance where the light shines directly towards those approaching, this accessory can make a significant difference to the comfort of the space.

The included COB LED light source operates at 24V DC. This type of voltage is common in well-planned outdoor installations, as it reduces electrical risk in environments where moisture may be present. The system, however, requires the corresponding power supply to be in place before installation.

Questions and answers

Does the CLAP wall light include the 24V DC power supply required for its operation?

No, the power supply is not included. The wall light operates at 24V DC and requires an external transformer or driver compatible with that voltage, which must be purchased separately and installed before connecting the lamp.

Is it possible to add a motion sensor to this outdoor lamp?

The CLAP wall light does not incorporate a motion sensor as standard. If you wish to activate the light via motion detection, an external detector compatible with the installation would need to be integrated, consulting with an electrician beforehand to ensure system compatibility.

Does the 38-degree beam angle of the spotlight allow for illuminating large surfaces on a wall or in a garden?

The 38-degree angle concentrates the light beam onto a defined area, making it ideal for highlighting specific elements such as architectural details, plants, or sections of façade. To illuminate larger surfaces, the CLAP system allows multiple wall lights or spotlights from the same family to be combined.
