Overview

FALLS by FARO is an outdoor recessed fixture designed to be installed in the ground. It is intended for those looking for a discreet and effective lighting solution in gardens, terraces, entrances, or outdoor walkways. The fixture is integrated into the pavement with no prominently protruding elements, and it distributes light upward through an opal diffuser that softens the beam and prevents annoying glare.

The IP65 rating guarantees high protection against dust ingress and contact with projected water, such as direct rain. This makes it a suitable option for outdoor installations without the need to seek particularly sheltered locations.

The color temperature of 2700K produces a warm light that integrates well with vegetation, stone or wood surfaces, and the dark coatings commonly found outdoors. The result is a calm atmosphere at nightfall, without the coldness given by white or bluish light sources.

FARO is a company with a well-established track record in the lighting sector. Their outdoor products combine technical protection criteria with a design that effortlessly adapts to residential environments and larger-scale projects.

Installation and specifications

Before installing this in-ground recessed fixture, it is necessary to prepare a junction box in the pavement with the appropriate dimensions to house the body of the fixture. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially because the unit operates at 24V DC and requires an external transformer not included. It is essential to ensure that the wiring is well protected and kept away from areas with water accumulation. Once flush with the floor, the recessed fixture must not be exposed to excessive mechanical loads or vehicle traffic.

The 316L stainless steel surface does not require frequent maintenance. It can be cleaned with a damp cloth and, if necessary, with a neutral detergent. Abrasive products or those containing chlorine should be avoided, as they can damage the satin finish. The opal glass diffuser is cleaned in the same way. It is recommended to periodically check the condition of the seals and gaskets, especially if the fixture is installed in an area exposed to demanding climatic conditions.

Design and use

The FALLS by FARO has an elongated format, with 500 mm in length and only 53 mm in depth. This proportion allows it to be installed in pavement strips without taking up too much vertical space, which is useful when the floor thickness is limited or when a very low profile is desired. The 316L stainless steel body is a solid choice for outdoor use, as this material resists corrosion well in humid and marine environments, unlike other steels with lower protection.

The satin stainless finish gives a clean and restrained appearance. It does not draw excessive attention during the day, but fulfills its function well at nightfall when the fixture is on. This type of finish suits both gardens with a contemporary design and more natural settings, where the neutral metal does not clash with the organic materials of the surroundings.

The opal glass diffuser is one of the elements that most influences light quality. Unlike transparent glass, opal disperses the beam and prevents visible points of direct light or concentrated reflections on the ground. This is especially useful when the recessed fixture is installed near a walkway, an outdoor staircase, or a garden path, where grazing light can be uncomfortable for those walking by.

The temperature of 2700K produces a warm illumination that does not alter the color perception of plants or outdoor materials. It is a tone that works well on terraces where a relaxed atmosphere is desired at night, without the visual harshness of cool lights. It also integrates seamlessly alongside other light sources in the garden or façade operating in similar ranges.

The fact that the SMD LED lamp is included simplifies setup. There is no need to source a compatible light source separately, although the 24V DC transformer must be arranged before proceeding with installation. The power of 12W is sufficient to effectively illuminate a section of floor, the base of a wall, or the entrance to a patio without generating high consumption.

This recessed fixture can be combined with other spotlights from the same range to create continuous lines of lighting along a path, the perimeter of a terrace, or the entrance to a home. It also works well as a complement to façade lighting, providing upward light from the ground to mark routes or highlight architectural features.

Questions and answers

Can the FALLS recessed fixture be installed in areas directly exposed to rain?

Yes. The IP65 protection rating allows installation in outdoor areas exposed to direct rainfall. The body and diffuser are designed to resist the ingress of projected water without affecting the operation of the fixture.

What type of voltage does this in-ground recessed fixture require and what does it mean for installation?

The FALLS operates at 24V DC, which means it requires an external transformer to convert mains voltage to 24V direct current. This component is not included and must be arranged before installation.

Does the 316L stainless steel material have any specific advantage for outdoor use?

316L steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless steel, especially in environments with high humidity or proximity to the sea. This makes it suitable for installations in gardens, patios, or coastal façades where other materials could deteriorate over time.
