Overview

This wall light from the brand FARO is designed for outdoor lighting: gardens, terraces, house facades, and entrances. It mounts directly to the wall and projects light both upward and downward, creating a clean decorative effect without the need to add any other elements.

The lamp is made from die-cast aluminum with a dark gray finish. The diffuser is made of opal glass, which distributes light softly and evenly. There are no concentrated bright spots or shadowed areas — the illumination is spread uniformly across the space.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in designing luminaires for residential and architectural use. Their products are aimed at those who seek manufacturing quality and refined aesthetics, without complications during installation.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the wall light, make sure the electricity is switched off at the main panel. This type of surface luminaire is fixed to the wall using the included anchors. The junction box should remain hidden behind the body of the lamp. If the wall is made of brick or concrete, use anchors appropriate for the material. For a proper outdoor installation, it is recommended to have a qualified electrician verify the cable sealing at the entry point.

For maintenance of the wall light, clean the aluminum surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the dark gray finish. The glass diffuser can be cleaned with a soft cloth. Do not direct water jets directly onto the lamp. Always disconnect the power before performing any cleaning or inspection.

Design and use

The FARO wall light has a compact and contemporary design that fits well in modern-style outdoor spaces. Its die-cast aluminum body gives it solidity without adding unnecessary weight — at just 0.34 kg, it is easy to handle during installation. The dark gray finish is neutral and adapts to light or dark facades, stone walls, or more contemporary cladding.

The opal glass diffuser is one of the most refined elements of this lamp. The opal glass conceals the interior of the light source, avoiding the effect of direct glare. The light output is diffuse, warm, and pleasant — ideal for spaces where you want to create ambiance without sacrificing visibility.

The light beam is divided into two directions: one part illuminates downward and the other upward. This creates an interesting visual effect on the wall where the light is installed, while at the same time providing functional light for walking or moving outdoors at night. In a garden, for example, several of these wall lights placed along a wall can define the path without the need for ground lanterns or additional spotlights.

On a terrace, this wall light works well both on a side wall and above an access door. The color temperature of 3000K provides warm light that does not distort the colors of the surroundings and is pleasant for gatherings or moments of relaxation outdoors. It does not produce the bluish tone found in some outdoor luminaires, making it more comfortable for extended use.

The LED driver is included, so no additional components need to be purchased for installation. The SMD LED light source comes integrated, ready to connect. This considerably simplifies the process, especially for those who do not want to source separate parts or depend on specific replacement components.

Sun exposure and the changing conditions of outdoor weather demand materials that can withstand them. Die-cast aluminum handles prolonged sun exposure well and does not rust from ambient humidity. For areas where sunlight hits the wall directly for many hours, this material is more durable than plastic or lighter alloys. The glass diffuser also maintains its appearance over time without yellowing.

Although it does not incorporate a motion sensor or automatic detector, this wall light can easily be combined with a timer or an external control system if you want to automate switching. Many people prefer this type of solution when the garden or terrace has a fairly regular usage schedule. The standard 220V-240V connection allows it to be integrated without adaptations into any Spanish or European domestic electrical installation.

In terms of style, the rectangular shape and reduced dimensions — 113 mm in length and 90 mm in height — allow it to be installed in spaces where a more bulky lamp would be excessive. It works well in narrow entrances, on garden walls, or next to windows. It can also be used in pairs on either side of a door to give symmetry to the facade.

Questions and answers

Does the wall light include the LED light source or does it need to be purchased separately?

The SMD LED light source comes included along with the driver. No additional components need to be purchased to get it up and running.

In which direction does this wall light project light?

This model has a bidirectional light beam: it illuminates both the upper and lower part of the wall where it is installed, creating a decorative effect while at the same time providing functional outdoor lighting.

Does the aluminum body withstand direct sun exposure and rain well?

Die-cast aluminum is a suitable material for outdoor use. It withstands prolonged sun exposure and ambient humidity without deteriorating or rusting over time. For particularly harsh conditions, it is recommended to periodically check the sealing at the electrical connection points.
