Overview
Overview
The SOLE wall light by FARO is a wall lamp with a ribbed structure in a black finish that can direct light to one side or both. This flexibility makes it a valid option for many situations: illuminating a hallway, creating a light source in the bedroom, reinforcing the living room lighting, or adding visual presence in the dining room. It does not depend on a single function — it adapts to whatever each space needs.
The body made of aluminum and steel gives it solidity without adding unnecessary weight. It weighs just 200 grams, making installation directly on the wall straightforward with no structural complications. Compatibility with voltages between 100V and 240V makes it suitable for use in any home.
FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior and exterior lighting. Their products are designed for real spaces, with attention to finish and functionality without sacrificing either.
Installation and specifications
Before installing the wall light, make sure the existing wiring is switched off at the electrical panel. As a surface-mounted luminaire with direct wall fixing, you will need to locate the appropriate anchor points and ensure the surface is stable. The GU10 LED bulb is not included, so have it ready before assembly so you can verify the unit is working as soon as you finish. If you have no experience with electrical installations, the safest option is to hire an electrician.
To clean the lamp, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the black aluminum finish. Do not handle the bulb with the power connected or with unprotected hands, as fingerprints can affect certain types of LED bulbs over time.

Design and use
The SOLE wall light has a compact silhouette with a ribbed texture that gives it character without feeling overdone. The dimensions are modest: 100 mm high, 80 mm long, and 65 mm deep. It fits well in spaces where a larger lamp would look out of proportion, such as a narrow hallway or a wall with little lateral clearance.
The aluminum and steel body combines strength with lightness. The matte black finish of the structure pairs well with many interior styles: from clean-lined environments to spaces with industrial design elements or combinations of materials such as wood and metal. It does not impose a particular style — it integrates with what already exists in the room.
One of the distinguishing features of this lamp is its ability to emit light in one or both directions. When configured to illuminate upward and downward, it produces a more enveloping distribution, useful in living rooms, dining rooms, or areas where a broader luminous presence is desired. When emitting in only one direction, the result is more focused, which may be of interest for highlighting a specific point on the wall or for providing functional lighting in a hallway. This versatility allows the lamp to be adapted to the actual use of the space without needing to change the product.
In the bedroom, a well-placed wall light effectively replaces a bedside table lamp. It frees up surface area, visually organizes the space, and allows reading or setting an atmosphere without relying on central lighting. In the bathroom, where lateral light is often more flattering than overhead light, the SOLE wall light can be placed on either side of the mirror for more balanced illumination. In hallways, two units facing each other or alternating create a sequence of light that guides without the need for recessed spotlights.
In the living room, the wall light can serve as a complement to general lighting or as a decorative element in its own right. The wall it occupies gains prominence, especially if there is something worth highlighting: a seating area, a painting, or a shelf. In the dining room, placed at the right height, it adds a layer of light that does not compete with the ceiling lamp but completes it. The GU10 LED bulb compatible with 8W keeps consumption moderate and provides light of sufficient quality for domestic environments.
The SOLE model is part of FARO's range of surface luminaires, designed for interior installation. The combination of aluminum, steel, and black finish gives this lamp an elegant and stable presence, without relying on decorative artifice. It is a wall light that works well both in modern spaces and in interiors that mix textures and materials.

Questions and answers
Can the SOLE wall light emit light only upward or also in both directions?
