Overview

The RUSH lamp by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for wall mounting. It works well in gardens, patios, terraces, and public spaces such as parks or pedestrian access areas. Its robust construction makes it suitable for permanent installations in areas exposed to rain, dust, and impacts.

The RUSH lantern stands out for its certified durability: it features IP65, meaning that water and solid particles do not compromise its operation. In addition, its IK10 impact resistance makes it a solid option for frequently used spaces or areas with pedestrian traffic.

FARO is a Spanish brand with extensive experience in technical and decorative lighting. Its products are aimed at both residential projects and installations in more demanding environments.

Installation and specifications

Installing this lantern requires fixing the base directly onto a vertical surface, such as a wall or column. Before starting, verify that the wall supports the anchoring and that the electrical wiring reaches the mounting point. It is recommended that the installation be carried out by an electrician, as it involves connection to the mains. Make sure the power supply is cut off throughout the entire process.

To clean the aluminum body, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the dark grey finish. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser can be cleaned in the same way. Periodically check that the fixing points are secure, especially if the lamp is installed in areas with strong winds.

Design and use

The RUSH lantern is constructed from aluminium and polycarbonate, two materials that complement each other well in outdoor environments. The aluminium provides rigidity and corrosion resistance, while the transparent polycarbonate allows light to be projected without distortion. The result is a lamp with a clean and functional appearance that does not visually interfere with the environment where it is installed.

The dark grey finish suits facades made of stone, concrete, or brick. It also integrates well alongside metal structures such as railings, access posts, or pergolas. On a terrace with wooden or natural stone flooring, this lantern can complement the lighting without appearing discordant.

The colour temperature of 3000K produces a warm light that softens spaces at dusk. In a garden, that tone avoids the cold feeling generated by more intense white lights. On a residential terrace, it allows time to be spent outdoors in a pleasant atmosphere, without the lighting being too intense.

The 360° distribution option means that the light is spread symmetrically around the installation point. This is useful when the lantern is placed in a corner or on a central post, where illumination is needed in several directions at once. In an enclosed patio, this feature helps cover the space evenly without the need to install multiple lights.

The included COB LED light source consumes 14 W and operates over a wide voltage range, from 100V to 240V. This makes it compatible with electrical installations in different countries, which is relevant for properties in tourist areas or with international use.

The IP65 certification guarantees protection against water projected from any direction, covering both direct rain and garden irrigation. IK10 resistance is the highest level on the impact scale, suitable for areas with frequent activity. These features mean the RUSH lantern can be installed on wet ground, alongside marker beacons, or in access areas with regular traffic.

In terms of design, the RUSH collection does not seek to draw attention to itself. It is a luminaire that fulfils its function without adding visual noise. It works well both in contemporary-style gardens and in more neutral spaces where lighting plays a technical rather than decorative role. Its compact size, with 250 mm in height and 160 mm on each side, allows it to be installed on walls with limited available space.

Questions and answers

What does it mean that the lamp has IP65 protection and in what situations is it relevant?

IP65 indicates that the lamp is fully protected against dust and against water projected from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor installation without any additional protection, even in areas with frequent rainfall or where it may be exposed to water from the garden irrigation system.

Does the 360° lighting option affect how the lantern is mounted on the wall?

It does not change the type of fixing, which remains wall-mounted. What it indicates is that the light distribution is symmetrical in all directions, making it particularly useful when the lantern is in a position from which several points need to be illuminated at the same time, such as a patio corner or a central post.

What level of impact resistance does this lantern have and why is it important?

The RUSH collection has IK10 certification, which is the highest level on the mechanical impact resistance scale. This makes it suitable for installations in areas with pedestrian traffic, access points, or spaces where there is a risk of accidental impacts.
