Overview

TRAM is an outdoor lamppost designed for open-air spaces where functional and long-lasting light is needed. Manufactured by the design studio Estudi Ribaudí for the brand FARO, this floor luminaire combines an urban character with materials designed to withstand adverse weather conditions. It is a suitable option for gardens, private entrances, pedestrian paths and outdoor residential areas where lighting needs to be stable and long-lasting.

What sets this lamppost apart is the way it distributes light: the opaline PMMA diffuser is integrated with the structure so that light filters through perimeter slots, creating a uniform and enveloping visual effect. It is not a conventional outdoor lamp — its design causes the illumination to spread 360 degrees around the post, with no dark areas or brightness concentrations.

FARO is a brand with a long track record in lighting, recognized for combining design and functionality in both indoor and outdoor products.

Installation and specifications

For installation, this lamppost requires fixed anchoring to the ground. Given its weight and height, it is recommended to prepare a concrete base or a suitable anchor plate before assembly. The electrical connection must be carried out by a certified electrician, as this is an outdoor installation with buried or channelled wiring. Verify that the mains voltage is compatible with the indicated range before connecting.

For maintenance, clean the aluminium body with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive products that may damage the microtextured finish. The opaline diffuser can be cleaned with a soft cloth without solvents. Periodically check the condition of the outdoor connections to ensure safe operation.

Design and use

The TRAM lamppost by FARO is a 2.5-metre-high outdoor luminaire, designed to be installed directly in the ground. Its structure is made of aluminium with a dark grey microtextured finish, a finish that not only gives character to the piece but also contributes to its resistance against humidity, rain and temperature changes. Aluminium is a lightweight yet resistant material, which makes transport and installation easier without sacrificing durability.

The opaline PMMA diffuser is one of the most distinctive elements of this lamp. It joins the structure in a way that leaves visible slots through which light filters outward. This constructive detail is not only aesthetic: it allows light to be distributed in all directions without creating direct light points that could be bothersome. The result is soft and continuous lighting around the lamppost, ideal for marking paths or creating areas of light in the garden without visually overwhelming the space.

The SMD format integrated LED technology ensures efficient consumption with a power of 40 W and a colour temperature of 3000K, which corresponds to warm white light. This light tone is particularly suitable for residential outdoor spaces, as it is pleasant to the eye without generating the cold effect that can give a sense of coldness in open-air spaces. The light source is included, so it does not need to be purchased separately.

Although it is an urban lamppost in its design, it fits well in residential environments that seek a touch of contemporary character. It works well at the entrances of detached houses, on paths running through the garden or in patio areas where it is necessary to mark the route with light. It can also be combined with other outdoor luminaires from the same series to create coherent lighting throughout a larger space.

The dark grey finish makes it versatile: it does not visually compete with vegetation or with materials such as stone, treated wood or concrete. It is a lamppost that integrates without imposing itself, providing presence without interrupting the whole. If the outdoor environment has a more modern or industrial character, this lamp naturally reinforces that aesthetic. In more classic gardens, it acts as a discreet contrasting element that adds a point of interest without distorting the overall atmosphere.

Compatibility with voltages between 100V and 240V makes it easy to use in different installations without the need for additional adapters. Its net weight of 7.48 kg and its height of 2.5 metres mean it is a piece that requires careful installation, but once correctly fixed, it does not require frequent maintenance beyond periodic cleaning of the body and the diffuser.

Questions and answers

Does the TRAM lamppost emit light in all directions or only downwards?

The lamppost emits light in 360 degrees. The opaline diffuser joins the structure leaving slots through which light filters perimetrically, allowing enveloping illumination with no dark areas around the post.

What type of base is needed to install this lamppost in the ground?

Given that the lamppost has a height of 2500 mm and a weight of almost 7.5 kg, it is recommended to prepare a concrete base or anchor plate that guarantees stability. The electrical installation must be carried out by a professional.

Is the LED light source included or does it need to be purchased separately?

The SMD LED light source is included in the lamppost. No additional components need to be purchased for it to function.
