Overview

The KOV wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for outdoor use. It works well at entrances, facades, covered terraces, and garden access points where stable and discreet lighting is needed. Its round shape and white finish allow it to be integrated into different types of surfaces without standing out as a discordant element.

The lamp provides both direct and indirect light at the same time, with the light source set back inside the body. This prevents direct glare when viewed head-on. It can be installed either vertically or horizontally, which allows flexibility to adapt it to different wall or surface configurations.

FARO is a company with a long track record in the lighting industry. Their outdoor products are designed to withstand real-world conditions without sacrificing finish quality or design consistency.

Installation and specifications

To install this outdoor wall light, the power must be switched off before making any connections. The wiring should run inside the wall or through a watertight conduit. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially on facades exposed to rain or humidity. Before permanently fixing the wall light, check that the base is level and that the anchors match the type of wall on which it will be mounted.

To keep the lamp in good condition, simply clean the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the white aluminium finish. Periodically check the sealing and fixing points, especially if the wall light is directly exposed to the elements.

Design and use

The body of this wall light is made from aluminium, a material that combines lightness and durability. The white finish gives it a clean appearance that does not draw too much attention during the day, but fulfils its function once night falls. The 80 mm diameter and 108 mm height make it a compact piece, suitable for spaces where the lamp should not take up too much visual prominence.

The integrated COB LED light source emits at 2700K, a warm colour temperature that is close to traditional incandescent light. This tone is particularly pleasant at entrances, porches, and passageways where the lighting does not need to be intense, but sufficient to navigate and create a calm atmosphere. The 34° angle concentrates the light beam in a specific direction, which is useful for illuminating a particular point on the facade or a defined area of the garden without dispersing the light excessively.

One of the most practical aspects of this model is the ability to mount it either vertically or horizontally. Depending on the architectural layout of the space, this flexibility allows better use of the available wall. On a narrow terrace, for example, it may be more convenient to orient it horizontally to avoid interfering with movement. At a taller entrance, the vertical position may allow better projection towards the ground.

The built-in drainage system prevents water from accumulating inside the body. This is a constructive detail that makes a difference in outdoor settings where rain is frequent. Without this feature, moisture can over time compromise the internal components of any wall light.

The combined direct and indirect light distribution means the focal point is not reduced to a harsh spot. A portion of the light is projected onto the surface on which the wall light is mounted, softening the contrast between the illuminated area and the surroundings. This is especially noticeable on light-coloured facades, where the reflected light adds depth to the overall effect.

This type of luminaire fits well in residential settings with simple lines, both in modern homes and in properties with a more understated style. It is also compatible with gardens where other surface-mounted luminaires already exist, as its neutral design does not compete with other decorative elements. On a terrace with light-coloured outdoor furniture, the white of the wall light blends in naturally.

The reduced weight, under one kilogram, makes handling easier during installation and does not place a significant load on the wall. The light source is included, so there is no need to purchase the bulb separately.

Questions and answers

Can this wall light be mounted both vertically and horizontally?

Yes. The design of the KOV wall light allows it to be installed in both orientations on the wall, providing flexibility to adapt it to different architectural configurations.

Does the lamp include the light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The COB LED light source is included. No additional bulb needs to be purchased to get the wall light up and running.

Does the wall light have any mechanism to prevent water ingress?

Yes. The body incorporates a drainage system that prevents water from collecting inside, making it more suitable for outdoor use with direct exposure to rain.
