Overview

The LOTUS wall light by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for those looking for a lighting solution that works well on terraces, gardens, and walkways alike. Its contemporary design, developed by Estudi Ribaudí with the lotus leaf as a formal reference, allows the lamp to fit easily on modern facades without drawing too much attention. The shape is discreet, yet the visual result is clean and orderly.

One of the things that sets this wall light apart is its installation versatility. It can be mounted on a wall with the diffuser facing up or down, allowing you to decide in which direction it projects light. This gives a degree of freedom when planning how to illuminate a specific space.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in designing and manufacturing indoor and outdoor luminaires. Its products are found in residential and commercial projects worldwide, and the LOTUS collection is a good example of how the brand combines aesthetics and functionality without complicating everyday use.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the wall light, check that the wall surface is level and capable of supporting the weight of the assembly. Always disconnect the power before starting installation. If the installation is outdoors, make sure the wiring is protected from moisture and complies with local electrical regulations. If in doubt, consult an electrician.

To keep the wall light in good condition, clean the aluminium body with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the dark grey finish. The opal polycarbonate diffuser can be cleaned in the same way. Periodically check the wall fixing points to make sure everything remains secure.

Design and use

The body of the LOTUS wall light is made of aluminium, a material that withstands outdoor conditions well without adding unnecessary weight to the installation. The dark grey finish gives a sober appearance that does not interfere with the aesthetic of the facade, garden, or terrace where it is placed. It is the kind of lamp that complements the surroundings rather than competing with them.

The opal-toned polycarbonate diffuser distributes light evenly, without creating excessive bright spots or shadowed areas. At 3000K, the colour temperature is warm, generating a welcoming atmosphere in spaces used at night or in areas where sunlight no longer reaches. This tone works especially well in gardens with vegetation or on terraces where a relaxed ambiance is desired.

The ability to install the lamp with the diffuser facing up or down is a practical advantage that not all outdoor wall lights offer. When oriented upward, the light washes the wall and creates an effect of architectural volume. When oriented downward, the light concentrates more on the ground or walkway area, which is useful for illuminating entrances, steps, or garden paths. This same flexibility also allows the wall light to be used indoors, for example in corridors, covered porches, or hallways.

On a terrace, the lamp can be installed on the side wall to mark the perimeter of the space without the need for a ceiling spotlight. The compact size, with 225 mm on each side and 90 mm in depth, means it does not take up too much space on the wall and integrates well alongside other elements such as shutters, windows, or stone cladding.

In the garden, the wall light works well when fixed to boundary walls or columns, marking the edge of the outdoor space and guiding people's movement toward the main areas. The aluminium withstands environmental exposure without deteriorating quickly, meaning the lamp retains its appearance for longer with minimal maintenance.

Although a motion sensor is not part of this unit, the wall light can be combined with an external sensor depending on the home's electrical installation. For those who value automatic lighting control, this option is possible through additional components compatible with the home's motion system. This way, the lamp can switch on and off without the need for manual switches.

The LOTUS collection is part of a line designed with aesthetic consistency. If other luminaires from the same collection are already present in the space, the wall light integrates naturally without creating visual discontinuities. It also pairs well with materials such as wood, concrete, or natural stone cladding, which are common in contemporary outdoor renovations.

Questions and answers

Can the LOTUS wall light be installed with the diffuser facing both upward and downward?

Yes. The wall light can be mounted on a wall in both positions, with the diffuser facing up or down. This allows you to decide in which direction you want the light to go according to the needs of the space.

Is the LED included or does it need to be purchased separately?

The LED SMD light source is included in the wall light. No additional components are needed for the basic operation of the lamp.

Is this lamp intended only for outdoor use or can it also be used indoors?

Although the lamp belongs to the outdoor category, the manufacturer indicates that it can also be installed as an indoor wall light. It is a valid option for corridors, covered porches, or hallways where the same model is to be used both inside and outside.
