Overview

The CLAP 630 stake by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for those who want to work with light in the garden, patio, or any outdoor area with a discerning eye. It's not just about lighting for the sake of it: this projector creates accent effects on plants, textures, or elements of the surroundings, giving the space its own character when night falls.

Its structure is discreet to the point of almost disappearing. During the day, the stake goes unnoticed among the vegetation. At night, what you see is the light, not the fixture. That is precisely what this type of solution aims for: the spotlight is on the lighting effect, not the fitting itself.

FARO is a company with decades of experience in lighting. Its outdoor catalogue ranges from bollards to wall lights and projectors, always with a visual coherence between the different models. The CLAP collection follows that same logic: different lighting formats with a unified aesthetic to address different points within the same space.

Installation and specifications

For installation, it is important to note that this lamp operates at 24V DC. This means it requires a suitable transformer or power supply, which is not included. The stake is fixed directly into the ground, ideally in areas with soil or substrate, next to plants or along path edges. It is advisable to plan the cable routing before placing it, as once installed in the garden or terrace, moving it means redoing part of the work. If combined with other units from the collection, several can be connected in a chain to the same source, always respecting the maximum load of the transformer.

Aluminium is a material that withstands outdoor conditions well, but it is advisable to clean the surface occasionally with a damp cloth to prevent the build-up of dirt or plant debris. Abrasive products or solvents should not be used. Although the spotlight is designed for outdoor use, it should not be submerged or directly exposed to pressurised water jets.

Design and use

The CLAP 630 with shade is made from aluminium, a material that combines lightness with resistance to moisture, temperature changes, and the passage of time. The matte black finish gives it a discreet profile that integrates effortlessly into natural environments: among shrubs, next to tall plants, or along garden paths.

The 38° angle concentrates the beam of light on a specific point. This makes it an accent projector, not a general lighting source. The idea is to direct it towards an element that deserves attention: the texture of a wall, the canopy of a tree, a voluminous plant, or a passageway that needs to stand out. In combination with other lights from the same collection — bollards, wall lights, or pendants — a coherent lighting composition can be built for the entire outdoor area.

The colour temperature of 3000K produces a warm light, close to the tone of traditional halogen. It is a register that works well in gardens and patios because it is neither cold nor clinical, but rather adds warmth to the nocturnal atmosphere. Plants and natural materials — stone, wood, gravel — respond well to that tone.

Operating at 24V instead of the standard electrical mains has clear advantages in outdoor installations: it is an extra-low safety voltage, which reduces risks in areas with moisture or in contact with soil. For those designing a garden or terrace installation from scratch, this detail simplifies the planning of electrical safety.

The projector can be complemented with the anti-glare visor reference 75714-2. This accessory is useful when the spotlight is at eye level for those walking through the area, or when you want to prevent the light from causing discomfort in living areas such as a terrace or patio. The visor does not change the accent effect, but it does improve visual comfort for the people sharing the space.

Within the CLAP collection, this stake model coexists naturally with the bollards of the same family, which offer a type of indirect lighting at ground level. Mixing projector and bollards in the same garden allows working with different planes of light: one more directed and one more diffused, creating visual depth in the overall composition.

For a terrace with planters, the projector embedded in the ground next to the plants creates a nocturnal scene without the need to install lanterns or overhead light points. In a small interior courtyard, a single well-aimed stake can completely transform the perception of the space when darkness falls.

Questions and answers

Does this CLAP 630 stake need an external transformer to operate?

Yes. The luminaire operates at 24V DC, so it requires a suitable transformer or power supply that is not included. This must be planned before installation, and the total load must be calculated if several units are connected on the same circuit.

Is the LED light source included or does it need to be purchased separately?

The COB LED light source is already incorporated into the luminaire. It does not need to be purchased separately, nor is any additional assembly related to the lighting required.

Is the anti-glare visor compatible with this stake model?

Yes. The CLAP 630 projector is compatible with the anti-glare visor reference 75714-2, which can be purchased separately. It is useful in passageways or living areas where direct light could be uncomfortable for people.
