Overview

The PAM 165 LED pendant lamp by FARO is a hanging ceiling luminaire designed for interiors where design and functionality go hand in hand. It is installed on the ceiling and hangs to a total length of up to 1715 mm, making it suitable for spaces with sufficient height to appreciate its visual presence. It is a valid option for the living room, dining room, or bedroom where a central light source with its own character is desired.

The matte black finish with gold details gives it a contemporary look without being overly striking. The combination of these two finishes works well in modern interiors where warm and neutral materials coexist. The integrated LED technology eliminates the need to find compatible bulbs, as the light source is included from the very beginning.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long history in the lighting industry. Its products are aimed at both residential use and larger-scale projects, maintaining a balance between aesthetics and technical performance.

Installation and specifications

For installation, a standard ceiling box capable of supporting the weight of the assembly is required. Since this is a pendant luminaire fixed to the ceiling, it is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician or a person with experience in electrical assembly. Before starting, make sure the power is switched off at the electrical panel. The suspension cable allows the hanging height to be adjusted according to the needs of the space.

To clean the lamp, a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Abrasive products or solvents should not be used, as they can damage the matte black finish of the body or the opaline diffuser. It is recommended to disconnect the lamp from the power supply before any cleaning. As this is an indoor luminaire, it is not designed for use in areas exposed to direct moisture.

Design and use

The body of this pendant lamp is made of steel with a matte black finish, a material that provides solidity without adding excessive weight to the assembly. The diffuser is made of PMMA with an opal finish, which allows light to be distributed softly and evenly downward and to the sides, without creating glare spots. This combination makes the luminaire comfortable to look at even when it is lit directly in front of you.

The 3000K light tone corresponds to a warm white hue, similar to that of a traditional incandescent bulb. This type of light creates a welcoming atmosphere and enhances the sense of warmth in the space. It is particularly suitable for the living room or dining room, where a relaxed atmosphere for rest or family gatherings is desired.

The oval shape of the shade, with a diameter of 165 mm, gives the lamp a discreet yet defined visual presence. It is not a piece that dominates the space, but rather complements it. In a room with clean-lined furniture, the oval shape of the shade fits naturally without creating a harsh contrast with the surroundings.

In the bedroom, a hanging ceiling lamp with warm light helps create an atmosphere conducive to rest. Placed above the bed or in the centre of the ceiling, it illuminates the space evenly without being harsh. In the kitchen, it can serve as a secondary light source or as a decorative element above an island or counter, provided the ceiling height allows for adequate hanging.

The lamp can also be seamlessly integrated into generously high hallways, where a pendant luminaire adds verticality and dynamism to the visual flow. Its reduced weight of 0.6 kg makes installation on standard ceilings easy without the need for additional reinforcement.

The combination of matte black and gold is one of the most versatile in contemporary interior design. It works well alongside light wood furniture, walls in neutral tones, or metallic elements in similar finishes. It also adapts to interiors with vintage or industrial touches without losing its modern character. The scale of the piece, with its oval shape and contained dimensions, allows it to coexist with other lights without competing for attention.

The driver is included, which simplifies both installation and operation from the very first moment. No additional components need to be purchased to get the lamp up and running.

Questions and answers

Does the opal PMMA diffuser affect the perceived light intensity?

The opaline diffuser disperses light evenly, which reduces the perception of the direct intensity of the LED. The light reaches the space in a softer way, without the light point being visible directly through the material.

Can the hanging height of this pendant lamp be adjusted?

The suspension cable allows the total height to be adjusted, which can reach up to 1715 mm from the ceiling. The exact adjustment depends on the mounting system installed and the characteristics of the ceiling where it is fitted.

Is the matte black finish on the steel body resistant to rubbing during cleaning?

The matte black finish is sensitive to abrasive products and cleaning with hard materials. It is recommended to use only a soft, dry cloth to maintain the original appearance of the lamp body.
