Overview

KIVI is a ceiling recessed light by FARO, designed to be installed directly into a false ceiling. Its compact size and white finish make it easy to integrate into different home spaces, from the bedroom to areas with higher humidity. The IP44 protection allows it to be placed in locations where water or steam is present, such as the bathroom or a kitchen with limited ventilation.

The lamp includes a removable honeycomb filter that reduces direct glare. This means light reaches the space softly, without annoying bright spots in the field of view. In addition, the dimmable driver allows the light intensity to be adjusted according to the time of day or the activity being performed.

FARO is a company with years of experience in lighting for homes and commercial spaces. Its catalogue combines functionality with a modern design that adapts to different types of interiors.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lamp, make sure the power is cut off at the electrical panel. The recessing depth is low, so it can be installed in ceilings with little space between the panel and the structure. Check that the hole in the ceiling has the right dimensions for the lamp body. If the driver is external, place it in an accessible and ventilated location. Since the luminaire is adjustable, once installed you can adjust the angle of the spotlight to the point you wish to illuminate.

To clean the aluminium body, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the white finish. The honeycomb filter is removable, which makes it easier to clean separately. Do not touch the light source directly with your fingers, and always disconnect the power before any maintenance operation.

Design and use

The KIVI lamp by FARO is an adjustable recessed ceiling light with an aluminium body in white. Its modern design and low profile make it a practical option for ceilings where installation space is limited. The transparent PC diffuser works together with the honeycomb filter to distribute light evenly, preventing the glare that other types of recessed lights typically generate.

Home lighting has evolved towards more efficient and discreet solutions. KIVI responds to this trend with a power of 5W and a colour temperature of 2700K, which produces a warm light close to traditional incandescent light. This tone is especially suitable for bedrooms and rest areas, where aggressive or cool lighting can be uncomfortable at night.

The adjustable spotlight allows the light beam to be directed towards an object, a work area or a specific corner of the space. This sets it apart from fixed ceiling lights, which distribute light in a general way. In a kitchen or dining room, for example, it can be used to highlight the worktop or the table without needing to install a separate spotlight bar.

The white finish of the body blends well with ceilings of the same colour, making the luminaire go unnoticed when it is not switched on. That discretion is part of its style: it does not draw attention to itself, but to the space it illuminates. In bedrooms or children's rooms, where the modern design of lights is often combined with other decorative elements, this type of recessed light fits in without forcing any visual scheme.

The IP44 protection expands the spaces where this lamp can be installed. In the kitchen, where cooking steam is frequent, or in the bathroom, where humidity is constant, this certification ensures that the luminaire operates safely. Not all recessed lamps reach that level of protection, which makes KIVI a more versatile option within its category.

The dimmable driver adds a layer of comfort that goes beyond simply switching the light on or off. In a dining room, lowering the intensity during dinner creates a different atmosphere from a working afternoon at home. In bedrooms, reducing the light level before sleeping helps prepare the body for rest. That possibility of adjustment transforms a functional lamp into an element that adapts to different moments of the day.

The recessed light as a concept has ceased to be merely utilitarian. Current decoration trends seek modern lights that integrate with the rest of the interior without creating visual noise. KIVI fits that criterion: it is designed so that the end result is a well-lit space, without the spotlight being the protagonist. Recessed lights of this type are often combined in groups, especially above kitchen counters or in hallways, to create homogeneous, stylish lighting.

With only 0.14 kg in weight and a diameter of 52 mm, installation requires no additional reinforcement in the ceiling. It is a luminaire that falls into the group of accessible and easy-to-handle home options, designed for those carrying out a renovation without a permanent technical team.

Questions and answers

Can the KIVI lamp be installed in a bathroom or in a kitchen with steam?

Yes. The luminaire has IP44 protection, which makes it suitable for spaces where there is humidity or water splashes, such as the bathroom or the kitchen.

Can the honeycomb filter be removed for cleaning or replacement?

The honeycomb filter is removable. It can be easily taken out to clean it separately and refitted without tools.

Is an external controller needed to use the dimming function?

The dimmable driver is included with the lamp, but to regulate the intensity a compatible dimmer switch installed in the corresponding electrical circuit is required.
