Overview

The CLAP wall light by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for those who want to add character to a space without the lamp itself drawing attention. It mounts on the wall and projects accent light at a precise angle of 38°, allowing the beam to be directed exactly where needed: onto a façade, along a garden wall, or on a frequently used terrace.

Its structure is made of aluminium in white, with a very compact volume. The lamp almost disappears into the wall, leaving only the light. That balance between discretion and scenic effect is what sets CLAP apart within FARO's outdoor lighting system.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in technical and decorative lighting. Their products are designed for real-world use, with materials built to withstand outdoor conditions without compromising aesthetics.

Installation and specifications

This wall light is fixed directly onto the wall using anchors on the rear support. Before installing, check that the surface is solid and capable of supporting the weight of the assembly. The working voltage is 24 V DC, so the installation requires a suitable external transformer or driver. It is recommended that the electrical connection be carried out by a qualified professional. Verify that the wiring is protected before securing the lamp permanently.

For maintenance, clean the aluminium surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the white finish. Periodically check the fixing points, especially if the lamp is exposed to variable weather conditions. Do not disassemble it while the installation is live.

Design and use

The CLAP wall light is part of a complete outdoor lighting system that FARO has developed with a unified aesthetic. Within that system, spikes, bollards, wall lights, pendants and tree spotlights coexist, all sharing the same formal language. This makes it easy to combine several pieces in the same garden or terrace without the result looking like a collage of different references.

This particular model is a surface wall light. Its aluminium body has a linear, very slim profile, almost invisible once installed. The lamp does not seek to be the visual focal point of the space: its function is to create atmosphere through the light it projects, not through its own form. The beam is directed at an angle of 38°, which concentrates it and allows for fairly defined accent effects.

The colour temperature of 3000 K produces a warm white light, close to that of an electric candle but without the yellowness of older sources. It is a tone that works well in residential outdoor settings: it does not distort the colours of vegetation nor give the space a clinical appearance. On a stone or rendered façade, that temperature makes the texture of the wall appear with more detail and depth.

The light source is COB LED, included with the product. This type of module concentrates several chips on a small surface, which improves beam uniformity and reduces the effect of separate bright spots. The result is a cleaner light, with no visible irregularities in the illuminated area.

For those looking to optimise visual comfort, the CLAP system is compatible with the anti-glare visor reference 75714-2. This visor reduces direct glare when the wall light is at eye level, which can occur on terraces or at entrances where pedestrians pass close to the lamp. It is not an essential accessory, but it noticeably improves the experience in those specific contexts.

The white aluminium finish is neutral and integrates well in both contemporary architecture and more classic settings. In a garden with dense vegetation, the white of the lamp is almost absorbed by the light it emits. On a light-coloured façade, it disappears through tonal contrast. In both cases, the wall light fulfils its function without imposing itself.

The use of 24 V DC as the working voltage is common in low-voltage outdoor lighting systems. It provides additional safety in installations where the wiring may come into contact with moisture from the ground or rain. It is a technical detail that makes particular sense in gardens and terraces exposed to sunlight and changing conditions.

The motion sensor is not integrated into this wall light, but it can be managed from the general electrical system. If motion detection is to be added to the installation, the external sensor is installed in the circuit and activates the lamp when it detects presence. That combination — CLAP wall light with external motion sensor — is quite common at private entrances and access points where automatic lighting provides convenience and energy savings.

Questions and answers

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

The COB LED light source is included with the product. No additional module needs to be purchased for the basic operation of the wall light.

What type of transformer does this wall light need to operate?

The wall light operates at 24 V DC, so it requires an external driver or transformer to convert the mains voltage to that output. It is not compatible with direct connection to 220 V AC without that intermediate component.

Can the anti-glare visor be added to this model?

Yes. The CLAP system is compatible with the anti-glare visor reference 75714-2, which can be incorporated when the wall light is installed at a height close to the line of sight and direct light impact needs to be reduced.
