Overview

The RUSH lamp by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed to be mounted on a wall. It works well in gardens, patios, entrances, and passageways where reliable and durable lighting is needed. The lantern is installed directly on the wall without the need for additional structures, which considerably simplifies the process.

What sets this model apart is its construction. The body combines aluminum and transparent polycarbonate, materials that hold up well against both sun and rain. The IP65 rating ensures protection against water and solids, and the IK10 impact resistance means it can withstand knocks without deteriorating. It is not a decorative lantern that needs to be handled with care — it is designed to be outdoors without any issues.

FARO is a Spanish brand with experience in technical and decorative lighting. Their products are designed with both performance and visual integration into the environment in mind.

Installation and specifications

For installation, it is recommended to cut the power before starting any electrical work. As this is a wall-mounted fixture, it is advisable to verify that the surface is firm and can support the lamp without movement. The wiring should run through the interior of the wall or be protected with appropriate outdoor conduit. If the installation is carried out in an area directly exposed to rain, it is recommended to seal the cable entry point with outdoor silicone.

The aluminum body does not require special products for cleaning. A damp cloth is sufficient and, if there is accumulated dirt, a little neutral soap. The transparent polycarbonate diffuser can be cleaned in the same way. Abrasive products that could scratch the surface should be avoided. Although the lantern has an IP65 rating, it is not recommended to direct a pressure hose directly at it during cleaning.

Design and use

The RUSH lantern is part of a technical lighting collection designed specifically for outdoor use. The entire line shares the same construction criteria: aluminum, polycarbonate, and protection standards that allow these lamps to be installed in demanding environments without concern.

The dark gray finish of the body is one of its most practical features. It integrates well into facades of different colors without drawing too much attention. It is not a piece that seeks to stand out on its own, but rather to accompany the space discreetly. That said, when switched on, the warm 3000K light creates a pleasant atmosphere that completely changes the perception of a garden or terrace at night.

The asymmetric 180-degree lighting option is especially useful on walls that border passageways. The light beam is projected where it is needed — onto the ground, along a path, toward an entrance — without wasting light upward or to the sides. In a patio with nearby walls, that makes the difference between good illumination and simply having light.

The included COB LED light source operates at 14 W and does not require immediate replacement. COB technology generates uniform light, without dark spots or areas of excessive brightness. The 3000K temperature corresponds to a warm white light, similar to classic incandescent, which is welcoming without distorting the colors of the surroundings.

The DALI system allows this lantern to be connected to professional lighting control systems. This means that the intensity can be adjusted from a central point, integrated into automations, or combined with motion sensors in more complete installations. For a private residence, this opens up the possibility of creating differentiated lighting scenes without the need to install an additional post with an independent dimmer.

Regarding materials, the aluminum body guarantees lightness and corrosion resistance. It does not require maintenance painting or periodic treatments. The polycarbonate of the diffuser is a material that holds up well against temperature changes and prolonged sun exposure, without yellowing or becoming brittle over time.

This lamp works both in new installations and in renovations where an old lantern is to be replaced with a more efficient one. Its compact dimensions — 250 mm in height and 160 mm in depth — allow it to be placed on walls where a more bulky model would look disproportionate. It is also suitable for illuminating areas with ground-level bollards that need a light point at mid-height to complete the overall distribution.

Questions and answers

What does it mean that this lamp has an IP65 rating?

The IP65 rating indicates that the lantern is fully protected against dust and against water jets from any direction. It is suitable for outdoor use, including areas directly exposed to rain.

Is it compatible with DALI control systems?

Yes, this version of the lantern includes compatibility with the DALI protocol, which allows the light intensity to be adjusted from a centralized system or integrated with automations and sensors.

What level of impact resistance does the lamp body have?

The body has an IK10 resistance rating, which is the maximum level on the standard scale. It withstands knocks without the material cracking or the unit deteriorating, making it suitable for access areas or public spaces.
