Overview

The RUSH floor lamp by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for open spaces where functional and durable lighting is needed. With a height of 3.1 metres, it is suitable for private gardens, parks, access paths or common areas in residential developments. Its design in aluminium and transparent polycarbonate gives it a clean and discreet appearance, without drawing too much attention to itself.

The RUSH collection combines IK10 mechanical resistance with IP65 protection against rain and dust. This means the lamp can be left outdoors without needing to be protected during rainy or cold seasons. The asymmetric 180-degree light distribution option allows the lighting to be directed where it is needed, avoiding illuminating unnecessary areas.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in technical and decorative lighting. Its outdoor products are designed to maintain their properties over time, with finishes and materials that do not deteriorate easily.

Installation and specifications

For installation, it is necessary to prepare the ground anchor before placing the post. It is recommended to hire an electrician for the mains connection, as the lamp operates at 220V–240V. You must ensure that the mounting base is level and secure, especially on sloped terrain or soft surfaces. The power cables must be protected underground or in suitable outdoor conduits.

For maintenance, simply clean the surface with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive products that could damage the dark grey aluminium finish or scratch the polycarbonate diffuser. Do not disassemble the luminaire with the power connected.

Design and use

The RUSH floor lamp is part of a technical outdoor lighting collection developed by FARO. The entire line is manufactured in aluminium and polycarbonate, two materials that complement each other well in outdoor applications: aluminium provides rigidity and corrosion resistance, while the transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to pass through without distorting it.

The dark grey body integrates easily into natural environments such as gardens with vegetation, stone pathways or dark pavements. It does not stand out excessively during the day and fulfils its function at night without generating unpleasant visual contrasts. In a patio or at the entrance of a home, this lamp becomes part of the surroundings without imposing itself.

The COB LED technology incorporated in this lamp allows more light to be concentrated on a small surface, resulting in uniform and stable illumination. The colour temperature of 3000K produces a warm light, closer to yellow light than to cold white light. This type of light is more pleasant to the eye in residential spaces and creates a calm atmosphere at dusk.

The 180-degree asymmetric distribution is especially useful when the lamp is placed next to a wall, a fence or the boundary of a plot. Instead of illuminating in all directions, it concentrates the lighting towards the side where it is needed, without wasting light on unused areas. This can also be relevant when there are nearby homes and you want to avoid the light disturbing neighbours.

The CASAMBI version allows this lamp to be connected to a wireless control system. This facilitates management from a mobile device, without the need to install additional switches or control wiring. You can programme the switching, adjust the intensity or group several units to operate in a coordinated manner. For those installing lighting in gardens or large spaces with several lamps, this function considerably simplifies the overall setup.

With a height of 3.1 metres, this lamp is suitable for illuminating transit paths, outdoor seating areas or medium-sized green spaces. It is not designed for lighting large surfaces such as car parks, but rather for more domestic uses or in landscaped spaces on a human scale. In a family garden, one or two units may be sufficient to cover the main area without needing to install additional light points.

IP65 protection ensures that neither rain nor dust affects the operation of the lamp. IK10 impact resistance is the highest level available in this classification, indicating that the diffuser and body can withstand direct impacts without breaking. This can be relevant in high-traffic areas or spaces where children are present.

Questions and answers

What does it mean that this lamp has 180-degree asymmetric light distribution?

It means that the light is not spread in all directions, but only towards half of the surroundings. It is useful when installed next to a wall or at the boundary of a plot, as it concentrates the lighting on the area of use and avoids illuminating where it is not needed.

Does the CASAMBI version require installing any kind of hub or central device?

The CASAMBI system works in a distributed manner, without the need for a mandatory central controller. Each luminaire with this module can communicate directly with other units or with the mobile application via wireless connection.

Does the polycarbonate diffuser deteriorate with prolonged exposure to sunlight?

The polycarbonate used in the RUSH collection is treated to withstand outdoor exposure. The IP65 rating and IK10 resistance indicate that the unit is designed for continuous outdoor use without losing its properties over time.
