Overview

The NUBO 150 wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for spaces where moisture is present: the bathroom and hallway are the places where it fits best. Its IP44 protection makes it suitable for installation near showers or washbasins, without steam or splashes affecting its performance. It is a practical option for those looking for stable, long-lasting lighting in transit areas or bathrooms.

The light it emits is warm, at 2700K, which means the atmosphere it creates is closer to the light of an incandescent bulb than to the cold office light. In a bathroom or hallway, that tone gives a sense of calm and comfort, without the space feeling clinical or cold.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Its products combine functionality and attention to finish, and are present in residential projects throughout Europe.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, an existing wall power point is required. As a surface-mounted luminaire, it is fixed directly onto the vertical surface without the need for recessing. It is recommended that the electrical installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially if the wall light is to be located in the bathroom, where safety regulations for wet zones must be observed. The LED lamp is not included, so it must be purchased separately before use.

To clean the matte black aluminium body, a soft, slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish. The opal glass diffuser can be cleaned in the same way, taking care not to apply excessive pressure. Do not handle the wall light with the power on.

Design and use

The NUBO 150 has a discreet presence on the wall. Its dimensions, 120 x 120 x 90 mm, make it a compact wall light that does not take up visual space unnecessarily. The matte black aluminium body gives it solidity without adding weight: it weighs just 230 grams. It is a lamp that makes itself noticed when switched on and fades into the background when it is not.

The opal glass diffuser serves a specific purpose: it distributes light evenly, without creating bright spots or shadowed areas. In a bathroom, this is particularly useful for illuminating the mirror or washbasin without the light shining directly into the eyes. In a hallway, it helps provide consistent visibility from end to end, without harsh contrasts between lit and dark areas.

Matte black is a finish that works well in interiors with clean lines. In a modern bathroom with dark fittings or black accessories, the wall light naturally becomes part of the overall scheme. In a hallway with light-coloured walls, the contrast between the dark body of the lamp and the white or grey background creates a tidy and balanced visual effect. If the space has industrial design elements, the wall light reinforces that aesthetic without being excessive.

Although its primary use is intended for bathrooms and hallways, this wall light can also work in other areas of the home. In a bedroom, installed on either side of the bed as a side reading light, it provides that warm light that promotes rest without overwhelming the atmosphere. In a living room, as secondary or accent lighting next to a sofa or bookcase, it adds layers of light that make the space more comfortable. In a kitchen or dining room, it can be used as supplementary lighting in areas that need an additional light point without resorting to a ceiling lamp.

The 2700K tone is one of the aspects most noticeable in day-to-day use. A room lit with warm light appears more welcoming, and that perception influences how we feel in that space. In the bathroom, which is usually the first place we go in the morning, this kind of light is less harsh. In the dining room or living room, it creates an atmosphere suited to relaxing in the afternoon or evening.

SMD LED technology ensures low energy consumption and a long service life. As the bulb is not included, you can choose the one that best suits your preferences within the compatible type, which provides some flexibility when adjusting the light intensity according to how you intend to use the space.

Questions and answers

Can the NUBO 150 wall light be installed directly in the shower or bath area?

The IP44 protection allows its use in humid environments, such as bathrooms, but it is not suitable for direct installation inside the shower or bath zone. It is intended for nearby areas, such as above the washbasin or on the general bathroom wall, observing the safety distances established by electrical regulations.

Does the opal glass diffuser affect the amount of light emitted by the lamp?

The opal glass filters and distributes light evenly, which may slightly reduce the perceived intensity compared to a transparent diffuser. In return, it eliminates direct glare and provides a more pleasant and uniform light throughout the room.

Is the matte black aluminium body resistant to fingerprints or wear with use?

The matte black aluminium finish tends to show less shine and reflection than gloss finishes, but may accumulate fingerprints over time. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth is sufficient to keep the wall light in good condition without damaging the surface.
