Overview

The KOV wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for outdoor use. It is installed on facades, entrances, terraces, and garden areas where controlled and long-lasting lighting is needed. Its round shape and black finish give it a discreet profile that does not distract, while performing its function well both at night and in low-visibility conditions.

What sets this wall light apart is the ability to choose between two projection angles: 14° and 23°. This allows you to adjust where the light goes depending on the specific space where it is installed. It can also be oriented upward or downward, providing flexibility to create different effects on the wall or ground. The integrated drainage system prevents water from being retained inside the body, which is important in outdoor settings exposed to rain.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long history in the lighting sector. Its products combine functional design with materials intended to withstand real-world conditions, both indoors and outdoors.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the wall light, check that the wall is dry and that the support is firm. As this is an outdoor wall-mounted lamp, the wiring must be protected and comply with outdoor electrical installation regulations. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician. Verify that the mains voltage is compatible with the indicated values: 220V-240V.

For maintenance, clean the surface of the wall light with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the black aluminum finish. Periodically check that the drainage system is not blocked by dirt or plant debris, especially if the wall light is installed near a garden or wooded area.

Design and use

The KOV wall light is built in aluminum, a material that combines lightness and durability. Outdoors, this is relevant: aluminum does not rust like iron and holds up well against temperature changes, humidity, and prolonged sun exposure. The matte black finish provides visual uniformity and integrates well with both modern facades and stone or brick walls.

The body has a compact cylindrical shape. At 212 mm in height and 80 mm in diameter, it does not take up too much space on the wall. It is a low-profile lamp that does not cast unnecessary shadows during the day and does not look bulky visually. The depth of 87 mm ensures that the wall light does not protrude excessively, which is appreciated in entrances with limited space or in outdoor corridors.

The light source is an integrated COB LED, with a total power of 2x6W. This type of LED concentrates several diodes on a small surface, producing more uniform light with fewer hot spots. The temperature of 2700K gives a warm tone, close to classic incandescent light, which is pleasant on terraces and outdoor living areas. It is not a cold or harsh light, but one that accompanies without disturbing.

One of the most useful features of this wall light is the angle selection. You can choose between 14° and 23° of aperture, one for the top and one for the bottom. If installed pointing upward, the grazing light rises along the facade or wall and creates a volumetric effect on the surface. If oriented downward, it illuminates the path or walkway directly and without dispersion. This duality means the same lamp works in different contexts without needing to change the model.

The wall light can be mounted both vertically and horizontally. In vertical position, the cylindrical shape aligns with the height of the wall. In horizontal position, the body is oriented parallel to the ground, which may be of interest on low cornices or under eaves. This mounting versatility expands the options when designing the outdoor lighting of an entrance, garden, or terrace.

The internal drainage system is a technical detail with practical consequences. In areas with frequent rain, water can accumulate inside poorly sealed wall lights and cause corrosion or electrical failures. The KOV design incorporates a water outlet to prevent this build-up. This way, the fixture maintains its operation even after heavy rain or morning dew.

Regarding installation, the wall light is fixed directly to the wall. It requires no additional structure or intermediate support. The weight of 1.09 kg makes it manageable during mounting. For entrances, gardens, outdoor paths, or terraces, this wall light offers a clear solution: warm, well-directed light that is resistant to continuous outdoor use.

Questions and answers

Can the lighting angle be changed once the wall light is installed?

The two available angles, 14° and 23°, are selected at the time of mounting, one for the upper outlet and one for the lower outlet. Once the lamp is installed on the wall, the adjustment cannot be changed without dismounting the wall light.

Is it possible to install this wall light in a horizontal position as well as vertical?

Yes. The design of the KOV wall light allows it to be mounted both vertically and horizontally on the wall, which provides room to adapt it to different architectural configurations without changing the lamp model.

Does the drainage system require specific maintenance?

It is advisable to check that the drainage outlet is not blocked by dirt, leaves, or other debris, especially if the wall light is installed near areas with vegetation. A periodic inspection is sufficient to ensure its proper operation.
