Overview

The KOV wall light by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed for those looking for functional and discreet lighting in open-air spaces. It works well on facades, entrances, terraces, and walkways where continuous and well-directed light is needed. Its clean and technical design fits effortlessly into both modern finishes and more understated surfaces.

What sets this wall light apart is the ability to choose the direction of the light: upward, downward, or in both directions at once. It also allows you to select the beam angle, 23° or 34°, depending on the coverage area desired. The light source is recessed, which prevents direct glare and improves visual comfort in spaces where people spend time or receive visitors.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in indoor and outdoor lighting. Their products combine demanding technical criteria with an aesthetic approach that is never excessive.

Installation and specifications

For installation, a wall outlet with access to internal wiring is required. The wall light is fixed directly onto the vertical surface, with no additional structure needed. It is recommended that mounting be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially outdoors where the installation must be properly sealed against moisture. Before connecting, verify that the mains voltage is compatible with the 220V–240V range.

To keep the wall light in good condition, simply clean the surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the white aluminium finish. Do not handle the lamp while the power is connected.

Design and use

The KOV wall light has an aluminium body with a white finish that integrates well into light-coloured facades, concrete walls, or clad surfaces. The aluminium provides durability without adding excessive weight, and the white finish maintains a clean appearance over time, especially outdoors with sun exposure.

The compact cylindrical shape of the wall light makes it suitable for spaces where a large lamp is not desired. With a height of 212 mm and a diameter of 80 mm, it takes up little space and adapts to different supports. The depth of 87 mm keeps the unit close to the wall, without protruding too much.

One of the most practical aspects of this lamp is the integrated drainage system, which prevents water from accumulating inside. In areas with frequent rainfall or humid environments, this detail makes a difference in terms of durability. The fixture does not require special maintenance due to moisture, provided the installation has been properly sealed.

The light it emits has a colour temperature of 3000K, which corresponds to a warm white. This type of tone is pleasant in entrances, gardens, and terraces where cold or intense lighting is not sought, but rather a more welcoming atmosphere as night falls. The courtyard of a home, the side entrance, or the garage access are spaces where this wall light works very well.

The COB LED light source is included and recessed within the body. As it is not directly exposed, the lamp does not create annoying bright spots when viewed head-on. This is especially useful in walkways or on facades where the wall light is at eye level.

Another feature that adds versatility to this wall light is the possibility of installing it vertically or horizontally. Depending on how it is mounted, the light can be directed in the way that best suits the space. On a narrow terrace, for example, it may make more sense to place it horizontally to project light upward and downward along the wall.

The KOV wall light does not incorporate a motion sensor as standard, but it can be combined with an external detector if automated switching is desired. For gardens or access areas that are not always occupied, adding an independent sensor or detector to the electrical installation is a common option. The lamp itself is ready to work with any control system compatible with its voltage range.

As for combining with other elements, the white finish and cylindrical design work well with luminaires of a similar style or with other wall lights from the same series. On a facade with several light points, placing two or three units at the same height creates a balanced distribution without visually overloading the wall.

Questions and answers

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

Yes. The KOV wall light is designed to be mounted both vertically and horizontally on the wall, allowing the direction of the light to be adapted to the needs of the space.

What is the difference between the 23° and 34° angles available on this wall light?

The 23° angle concentrates the light more in a smaller area, while the 34° angle widens the beam and covers a larger zone. Each unit is supplied with a fixed angle, so it is worth choosing before purchase based on the space to be illuminated.

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

The COB LED light source is included in the wall light. No additional bulb needs to be purchased for it to function.
