Overview

The LILY 1190 stake by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed to illuminate gardens, pathways, and landscaped areas from ground level. Its stainless steel structure in a black finish measures 1190 mm in height, making it a discreet yet effective presence beacon. During the day it barely stands out among the vegetation. At night, when the spotlight turns on, it seems as if the plants are illuminating themselves.

This is achieved through an architectural design that makes the stake itself visually disappear in the darkness. There are no eye-catching shades or complex decorative shapes. Just light directed with precision onto the outdoor surroundings.

FARO is a Spanish brand with years of experience in lighting, both indoor and outdoor. Their products combine careful design with materials built to last, and the LILY line is no exception.

Installation and specifications

Preparation and installation. This luminaire is installed directly in the ground, in a garden, terrace, or patio. Before placing it, make sure the area where it will be fixed is level and stable. The stake requires connection to a 24V DC system, so an appropriate transformer is necessary. If you have no experience with outdoor electrical installations, it is advisable to have an electrician check the cable routing before connecting the fixture. Make sure the cables are buried or protected to prevent damage from moisture or abrasion.

Use and maintenance. The stainless steel body withstands outdoor conditions well without the need for special treatments. To clean the surface, a damp cloth is sufficient, and for more stubborn dirt, water with neutral soap. Do not use abrasive products or solvents that could damage the black finish. The transparent glass diffuser can be cleaned with a soft cloth to maintain good light transmission.

Design and use

The LILY 1190 stake is designed for those who want to illuminate the exterior of their home without the luminaire drawing attention. It is a ground spotlight that works in the background: its black body and clean lines make it fit with almost any outdoor setting, from a garden with abundant vegetation to a terrace with more contemporary finishes.

The body is made of stainless steel with a black finish, a material that holds up well under continuous exposure to rain, wind, and temperature changes. The IP65 protection reinforces that resistance: water does not get in, and dirt does not compromise the spotlight's performance either. It is the type of luminaire that is installed once and causes no issues as the seasons pass.

The light source is a 3W COB LED that emits a color temperature of 2700K. That means warm light, similar to the light of a candle or a classic incandescent bulb. In a garden or patio, that tone creates a calm atmosphere at night, without the coldness that white light gives off. Lights of this type work well when you want to mark a path, highlight a tree, or define the perimeter of a landscaped area without creating intense task lighting.

Being a stake of nearly 1.2 meters in height, the spotlight is elevated enough to illuminate diagonally the vegetation surrounding it. That angle is what generates the light effect that seems to emerge from the plant itself. In combination with other similar beacons distributed along a path or a fence, the result is a continuous and balanced illumination that does not depend on floodlights or more complex installations.

The transparent glass diffuser helps the light come out clean, without spreading or losing direction. It is a detail that makes a difference in outdoor spaces where light has to travel a certain distance to reach the plants or the ground. Compared to opaque diffusers, this type of finish better maintains the concentration of the beam.

As for the environment of use, this luminaire fits well in private home gardens, interior patios with vegetation, entrances with plants on both sides, or terrace areas where a nighttime atmosphere is desired. It also combines without issues with lower-height beacons, wall-mounted floodlights, or recessed ground lights, as long as all of them work within the same color temperature range to maintain visual coherence in the outdoor space.

The 24V DC connection makes it compatible with low-voltage lighting systems that many garden installations already have. This simplifies integration into projects where fixtures or beacons are already operating with the same transformer.

Questions and answers

Does the LILY 1190 stake need a special transformer to work?

Yes. This luminaire operates at 24V DC, so it requires an external transformer to convert the mains voltage to that level. It does not connect directly to the domestic electrical network. If you already have a low-voltage system in the garden, it is likely compatible.

What level of protection does it have against rain and humidity?

It has IP65 protection, which means it is completely protected against dust and resistant to water jets from any direction. It is suitable for permanent outdoor installation, even in areas with frequent rainfall.

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

It is included. The luminaire incorporates a 3W COB LED with a color temperature of 2700K, ready to use from the moment of installation.
