Overview

RUSH is an outdoor lamp designed to be mounted directly on a wall. It works well in gardens, patios, home entrances, and common areas where stable lighting that is resistant to weather conditions is needed. It is a compact lantern that does not rely on any post or pedestal — it is fixed to the wall and takes up minimal visual space.

The RUSH collection by FARO is designed for technical outdoor use. The aluminum body and transparent polycarbonate diffuser make it resistant to both rain and impacts. The IP65 certification ensures that neither water nor dust will affect the lamp's operation. The IK10 rating indicates that it withstands mechanical impacts without deforming or breaking. This makes it a solid option for frequently used spaces or exposed areas.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in lighting. Its products are found in residential projects and public spaces around the world. The RUSH collection reflects that focus on durability and functionality.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lantern, make sure the wall surface is firm and level. It is recommended that installation be carried out by an electrician, as it involves connection to the electrical mains. Verify that the mounting point is away from areas with direct moisture or water accumulation. The lamp's voltage is compatible with the standard 100V–240V network, so no additional transformer is needed.

To clean the surface, use a damp cloth without abrasive products. The dark gray aluminum may accumulate dust over time, especially in areas with nearby traffic. Periodically check the polycarbonate diffuser to ensure there is no dirt buildup that could reduce light quality. Do not disassemble the lamp or attempt to replace the light source without consulting the manufacturer.

Design and use

The RUSH lamp has a sober and functional design that integrates effortlessly into different types of outdoor settings. The dark gray body does not draw attention to itself, but rather fades into the background while fulfilling its function. This makes it compatible with both modern facades and more natural environments, such as a garden with vegetation or a stone patio.

The transparent polycarbonate diffuser allows light to come out in a direct and clean manner. The 360º lighting option distributes light symmetrically around the lantern, which avoids dark areas and creates uniform coverage. In a garden, this means that both pathways and flower beds are well lit without the need to install multiple light points.

The color temperature of 4000K corresponds to a neutral white light. It is not as warm as indoor yellow light, but it is also not cold or clinical. On a terrace or at the entrance of a home, this type of light allows clear visibility without the atmosphere feeling harsh or artificial. It is a common temperature in outdoor lighting because it balances visibility and visual comfort well.

The integrated COB LED consumes 14 W, which represents a reasonable consumption for a continuously used lantern. It does not need a base or post to be installed — it goes directly onto the wall, which simplifies both installation and subsequent maintenance. In spaces such as a small patio or a terrace with little room, this solution avoids having to plan the placement of a post or find space on the ground.

The materials combine the rigidity of aluminum with the impact resistance of polycarbonate. IK10 is the highest level on the mechanical impact protection scale, meaning the lantern can withstand accidental blows without the casing giving way. This is relevant in gardens with children, in high-traffic areas, or in places where the lantern may be exposed to moving objects.

The IP65 certification indicates that the lamp is fully protected against dust and against water jets from any direction. It can operate in rain without water penetrating the interior. This makes it a suitable option for uncovered areas, where other types of lamps or bollards with a lower degree of protection would not be valid.

The very low weight makes handling during installation easier. Wall mounting does not require special tools or complex anchoring. Once mounted, the lantern stays firm and generates no movement or vibration that could affect the connection.

Questions and answers

Can this lamp be installed in an open outdoor area without any cover or canopy?

Yes. The IP65 protection ensures that the lamp withstands water projected from any angle, including direct rain. It does not need to be protected by an overhang or cover to function correctly outdoors.

What does the 360º option mean for this lantern?

It indicates that light is distributed symmetrically around the entire lamp, with no side darker than another. It is useful when you want to illuminate a wide area from a single fixing point on the wall.

Does the IK10 protection rating also apply to the polycarbonate diffuser?

Yes. The IK10 classification applies to the lantern as a whole, including the diffuser. Polycarbonate is a particularly impact-resistant material, which contributes to the lamp maintaining its integrity even against accidental blows.
