Overview

The SOLE wall light by FARO is a wall lamp with a smooth structure and white finish that can direct light to one side or emit it in both directions. This makes it flexible: it works as focused lighting or as a more diffuse light source, depending on how it is positioned and what each space requires.

It adapts well to rooms with different uses. In a bedroom, it provides side lighting next to the bed without taking up space on the nightstand. In a living room, it can serve as a decorative element on a windowless wall. In hallways, it does its job without getting in the way. Its compact size and clean profile make it suitable for small spaces where a ceiling lamp is not the best option.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in interior and exterior lighting. Their products are manufactured with attention to detail and designed to integrate naturally into residential spaces.

Installation and specifications

For wall installation, it is advisable to have an electrical point already available in the area where the wall light will be placed. Since it is fixed directly to the wall, it is recommended to use plugs and screws appropriate for the type of wall, whether plasterboard, brick, or concrete. The GU10 LED bulb is not included, so it must be purchased separately before installation. The accepted voltage range is wide, between 100 V and 240 V, making it compatible with the standard electrical grid without adapters.

The aluminum and steel surface with a white finish can be cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The use of abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish is not recommended. Before handling the wall light for cleaning or bulb replacement, it should be switched off and allowed to cool completely. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician if you do not have experience with electrical work.

Design and use

The SOLE wall light has a body made of aluminum and steel with a matte white finish. The combination of these materials gives it solidity without adding weight: the product weighs just 200 grams. Its profile is clean, with no ornaments or distracting elements, which makes it a piece that integrates easily into different types of interiors.

One of its most practical features is the ability to emit light to one side or to both sides. When directed in a single direction, it acts as an accent lamp, concentrating the illumination on a specific point. When it emits in two directions, the light is distributed more broadly, which can be useful in hallways or transit areas where clarity is desired without installing multiple light points.

In the bedroom, this wall light works well as an alternative to the bedside lamp. It is fixed at the desired height and frees up the work or rest surface. Two symmetrical units on either side of the headboard create a balanced and modern arrangement, with no visible cables if the installation is done correctly inside the wall.

In the living room, it can be used above a sofa, next to a painting, or in a reading area. It does not require much depth, only 65 mm from the wall, so it does not protrude in an obtrusive way. Its white color goes well with light-colored walls, but also contrasts subtly with darker surfaces or natural wood finishes.

In the kitchen or dining room, it can be placed on a side wall to complement the main lighting. The idea is not to replace the central light point, but to add an additional layer that softens shadows or visually delimits different areas within the same space.

The bathroom is another environment where this type of wall light makes sense. Placed on either side of the mirror, it provides more uniform light on the face than that offered by a ceiling lamp in a top-down position. In small bathrooms, its reduced size does not take away visual space and the white finish harmonizes with the materials typically found in these spaces.

In hallways and transit areas, the compact profile of the SOLE wall light is an advantage. It can be placed at mid-height without interfering with passage, and provides sufficient light to navigate without the need to install a larger lamp. Its modern design, with no elements reminiscent of more ornate styles, means it fits in both contemporary homes and simpler renovations.

The compatible bulb is of the GU10 LED type, with a maximum power of 8 W. Although it is not included in the package, this type of bulb is easy to find and allows the color temperature to be adjusted according to the atmosphere desired: warmer light for rest spaces, more neutral light for kitchens or bathrooms.

Questions and answers

Can the SOLE wall light emit light in both directions at the same time, or do you have to choose just one?

The SOLE wall light is designed to work in both configurations. It can emit light to one side or to both sides, depending on how it is oriented during installation.

What type of bulb does it require and what is the maximum accepted wattage?

It uses a GU10 LED bulb. The maximum accepted power is 8 W. The bulb is not included in the package and must be purchased separately.

The body measures 65 mm in depth — does that affect its use in small spaces?

Not significantly. With only 65 mm of depth from the wall, the wall light protrudes very little and is comfortable even in narrow hallways or bathrooms with limited dimensions.
