Overview

The CLAP projector by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed to be installed in the ground and direct light exactly where it is needed. Its compact scale makes it almost invisible during the day, while when switched on it precisely defines a focused beam of warm, concentrated light. It is part of a family of architectural lighting designed for outdoor spaces with character: gardens, entrances, facades, patios, or walkways where light has to work without drawing attention to the fixture itself.

The projector addresses a specific need: accent lighting without resorting to bulky equipment. The 15° angle concentrates the beam and allows for dramatic effects on vegetation, walls, or architectural elements. The COB LED light source is recessed within the body, which prevents direct glare and ensures visual comfort even when the fixture is at eye level.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Its outdoor collections combine demanding technical criteria with a refined aesthetic, designed to integrate into residential projects and open-air spaces that seek lasting quality.

Installation and specifications

For ground installation, it is necessary to prepare the wiring before securing the luminaire, as subsequent access is limited. It is recommended that the electrical connection be carried out by a qualified professional. The projector must be anchored on a firm, level surface to maintain the direction of the beam. Before installation, verify that the area does not accumulate water during rainy periods, as prolonged contact with puddles may affect long-term performance.

For maintenance, simply clean the aluminum body with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish. Do not handle the light source while the equipment is connected to the power supply. In garden areas with soil or sand, periodically check that the ventilation openings are not blocked.

Design and use

The CLAP projector stands out for its extremely compact dimensions: 63 mm high, 36 mm wide, and 97 mm deep. Despite being so compact, it concentrates all the functionality of a professional accent spotlight. The body is aluminum with an Oxide Brown finish, a color that integrates well with natural surfaces such as stone, treated wood, or earth, and blends into the garden during daylight hours.

The 15° angle makes this projector a precise tool. It does not scatter light — it directs it. This allows a specific tree to be highlighted, the outline of a wall to be defined, or a texture on a facade to be accentuated. The result is a carefully staged outdoor setting, where light does the work without the fixture taking center stage. The reflector is integrated within the body, so the viewer does not see the source, only the effect on the illuminated surface.

The color temperature of 2700K produces a warm light that is not harsh in natural environments. In a garden with vegetation, this tone enhances greens and browns in a harmonious way. On a stone or brick facade, it reinforces the warmth of the material. It is a temperature designed for spaces where atmosphere matters as much as visibility.

The CLAP projector is part of a broader outdoor family that includes bollards, stakes, wall lights, and pendants, all sharing the same unified aesthetic. This makes it possible to build coherent lighting throughout the entire exterior of a home using pieces from the same line: the same color, the same finish, the same formal language. On a terrace, for example, this ground projector can be combined with a wall light from the same family, achieving direct and indirect lighting without mixing styles.

For those who want to control glare in walkways or near rest areas such as a swimming pool or patio, the system accepts the CLAP anti-glare visor as a compatible accessory. This piece attaches to the projector body and reduces the direct viewing angle of the source, maintaining the accent effect while providing greater comfort for people moving nearby.

The weight of 0.3 kg and its lightweight structure facilitate handling during installation. No special tools are required to secure it, although it is necessary to plan the cable routing before placing the fixture permanently. As a ground luminaire designed for outdoor use, it is advisable to integrate it into the garden design from the outset, before the paving or landscaped areas are completed.

Questions and answers

Does the CLAP projector include the light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The COB LED light source is included. No additional components need to be purchased to put it into operation once the electrical installation is complete.

What beam angle does this projector have and what type of lighting is it designed for?

The angle is 15°, which makes it a very concentrated accent spotlight. It is designed to highlight specific elements such as vegetation, walls, or textures, not for general lighting of a large area.

Can this projector be combined with other elements from the same CLAP family?

Yes. The CLAP family includes various outdoor solutions such as bollards, wall lights, and stakes with the same aesthetic. In addition, this model is compatible with the CLAP anti-glare visor, which can be added as an accessory for greater visual comfort.
