Overview

This wall-mounted lantern from FARO is designed to illuminate facades, entrances, and outdoor spaces where steady, well-distributed light is needed. Its square structure projects light from all four sides, creating a balanced visual effect around the installation point. It is a lamp that works well in gardens, terraces, backyards, or at the entrance of a home.

The aluminum body in a dark grey finish gives it presence without drawing too much attention. The transparent glass diffuser lets light through without filtering it, allowing the lantern to clearly illuminate the surrounding area. It is not a decorative lamp that only provides ambiance — it also serves a genuine practical function.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in luminaires for residential and collective use. Their products are distributed in several countries and are designed to be installed under real-world conditions, including outdoor environments with all their variables.

Installation and specifications

To install this lantern on an exterior wall, first check that the surface is solid and level. The mounting system attaches directly to the wall, without intermediate structures. Before starting, cut the power supply at the main panel. The wiring is run through the interior of the wall or through the bracket, depending on the existing installation. If you do not have experience with exterior electrical installations, the most practical option is to hire an electrician.

The E27 LED bulb is not included, so it must be purchased separately. It is recommended to use one of up to 15 W compatible with outdoor use or with a protected socket. The voltage range of 100V to 240V makes the lantern compatible with the standard electrical grid in Spain and most countries.

The aluminum body requires no special treatment. Simply clean it with a damp cloth and, if there is accumulated dirt, with a little soapy water. Do not use abrasive products or solvents. The glass diffuser is cleaned in the same way. It is advisable to check the wall mounting once a year to make sure it has not loosened due to temperature changes.

Design and use

The lantern has a compact cubic silhouette, with 200 mm sides and 220 mm in height. It is not a lamp that takes up much space on the wall, but its presence is noticeable, especially when lit and light radiates in all four directions. This sets it apart from a conventional wall light, which only illuminates to one side. Here the effect is more enveloping: the post or wall on which it is mounted is bathed in light from all sides.

Aluminum is a suitable material for outdoor use because it does not rust with moisture and withstands temperature changes well. The dark grey finish is neutral and integrates seamlessly with modern facades, stone walls, or concrete cladding. It would also fit well alongside an entrance with columns or a metal enclosure. The lamp does not impose a specific style — it adapts to its surroundings.

The transparent glass diffuser is a detail that makes a difference compared to opaque or smoked diffusers. The light that comes through is clean and direct, without losing intensity as it passes through the material. This is useful in areas where real visibility is needed, not just ambient light: a garage entrance, access to the garden from the house, a patio where people walk at night.

This lantern can be installed at several points along the same facade to create a continuous line of lighting. Combined with ground-level bollards or a garden post, it forms a coherent ensemble without requiring all elements to be exactly the same. Ground bollards mark pathways, and the wall lantern covers the elevated areas. The result is lighting that covers the space well without dark spots.

It also fits well on a covered terrace or patio. The square structure does not accumulate water if properly installed, and the aluminum does not deteriorate with outdoor moisture. For installations in areas more exposed to water, it is advisable to check the manufacturer's protection specifications beforehand.

Compatibility with E27 LED bulbs is a practical feature: it is the most common socket on the market, widely available and affordably priced. You can choose the color temperature that best suits the space — cooler light for entrances and passageways, or warmer light to create an ambiance in the garden.

Questions and answers

Can this lantern be installed directly on any type of exterior surface?

It is designed to be mounted on a wall, as indicated by its wall-mounted classification. The surface must be solid and capable of supporting the 3.9 kg of the product. On hollow surfaces or those with unstable cladding, special anchors may be required or consultation with an installer may be necessary.

Does the lamp work with any E27 bulb, or are there restrictions?

It accepts E27 LED bulbs with a maximum power of 15 W. The voltage range of 100V to 240V is compatible with the standard Spanish electrical grid. No bulb is included in the packaging, so one must be purchased separately.

Why does this lantern have a transparent diffuser instead of an opal one?

The transparent glass allows light to pass through without reducing its intensity, which is useful outdoors where real visibility is needed. An opal diffuser softens the light more but may reduce clarity in passageways or access areas.
