Overview

The NUBO 120 wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for spaces where humidity is present: bathrooms, hallways, washrooms, or entryways. Its IP44 protection makes it suitable for installation without concern in environments where steam and condensation are common. The lamp emits a warm light of 2700K that transforms any corner into a welcoming space, without the coldness that many surface-mounted luminaires have.

The body is made of aluminum in a matte black finish and the diffuser is made of opal glass, which allows a soft light distribution, without direct glare or areas with excessive intensity. The result is uniform lighting that adapts well to both modern bathrooms and hallways with limited space.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in indoor and outdoor lighting. Their products combine technical criteria with attention to finish and detail, designed for those looking for something functional that also looks great at home.

Installation and specifications

Installing this wall light requires a standard 220V-240V electrical connection. It is mounted directly onto the wall, so the cable outlet point should be prepared in advance at the correct position. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially in bathrooms, where electrical safety regulations require greater attention to wet zones. The lamp does not include the light source, so before installing it, a SMD LED bulb compatible with a maximum power of 7.8W must be purchased.

To clean the lamp, simply use a soft, slightly damp cloth on the aluminum body. The glass diffuser can be cleaned with a dry or barely damp cloth, avoiding abrasive products that may damage the opal finish. It should not be cleaned while the lamp is on or directly connected to the mains.

Design and use

The NUBO 120 is a compact wall light that takes up no space yet fulfills its function clearly. Its dimensions of 120 x 120 x 90 mm make it manageable even on narrow walls or in bathrooms where every centimeter matters. Despite its small size, the lamp produces light that fills the space well thanks to the opal glass diffuser, which distributes the beam evenly in all directions.

The aluminum body in matte black gives it solidity without adding unnecessary weight. The wall light weighs just 350 grams, which makes installation easy and does not require special wall anchors. The matte finish avoids reflections and fits well with smooth surfaces, both painted and tiled, which is common in modern bathrooms and hallways.

The color temperature of 2700K is one of the most suitable choices for everyday-use spaces. This warm light does not strain the eyes and creates a relaxed atmosphere, very different from the cool tones sometimes used in kitchens or work areas. In a bedroom or bathroom, that warmth makes a difference at the end of the day. It also works well in a dining room or living room if a softer ambient lighting that complements the main light source is desired.

The IP44 protection means the lamp is protected against the ingress of dust in quantities that could affect its operation, and against water splashes from any direction. This makes it suitable for wet areas without needing to look for options specifically designed for outdoor use or highly exposed installations.

In terms of style, matte black is a finish that effortlessly pairs with black fixtures, dark mirror frames, or furniture with finishes in the same tone, something very common in current renovations. It also contrasts well with white walls or light-colored tiles, giving the bathroom a design touch without overloading the overall look. In a hallway with neutral walls, the wall light acts as a subtle decorative element that also provides illumination.

The NUBO 120 can be used in entrance hallways, in bathrooms next to the mirror, in small rooms where there is no space for a hanging ceiling lamp, or as side lighting in a bedroom. In a living room, it can be part of a lighting composition alongside other sources. In the kitchen, it serves to illuminate circulation areas or to add ambient light alongside the main functional lighting. In the dining room, a pair of wall lights at the same height can create a more intimate atmosphere than an overhead lamp.

Questions and answers

Does the IP44 protection of the NUBO 120 make it suitable for installation inside the shower or very close to it?

The IP44 protection covers water splashes from any direction, but it is not designed for installations inside the direct shower zone. It is suitable for placement in the bathroom outside the area of direct water impact, such as next to the mirror or in the washbasin area.

Can the opal glass diffuser of the wall light turn yellow over time due to the heat from the LED bulb?

SMD LED bulbs generate much less heat than halogen or incandescent bulbs, so the risk of the opal glass deteriorating or yellowing due to temperature is very low. The diffuser maintains its appearance with basic periodic cleaning maintenance.

Does the NUBO 120 wall light work with a dimmer to regulate light intensity?

The technical specifications of the product do not include compatibility with dimmer switches. To find out whether the LED bulb you plan to use is dimmable, check the specifications of that bulb before combining it with a dimmer.
