Overview

The FARO wall light is a lamp designed for outdoor use. It is mounted directly on the wall and provides light toward the space in front of it — an entrance, a garden, a terrace, or a façade. The transparent glass diffuser lets light through without altering its color or scattering it excessively.

The body is made of die-cast aluminum in matte white. This finish not only gives it a clean, contemporary look, but also protects the structure against outdoor conditions. The light works with a GU10 LED bulb, which is not included in the package but is easy to find at any lighting or hardware store.

FARO is a Spanish brand with years of experience in outdoor and indoor luminaires. Their products are designed for real installations in private homes, and the level of finish reflects that focus.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the wall light, make sure the wall is dry and that the electrical junction box is properly embedded in the surface. The light's voltage supports between 100 V and 240 V, making it compatible with the standard electrical installation in Spain and most countries. The lamp is fixed to the wall using the included anchors. If the wall is brick or stone, use expansion plugs of the appropriate size. Always work with the power switched off at the electrical panel before connecting the cables.

For maintenance of the wall light, clean the aluminum body with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the matte white finish. The glass diffuser can be cleaned in the same way. Periodically check that the wall light is securely fixed to the wall, especially after periods of heavy rain or strong wind.

Design and use

The FARO wall light has a compact silhouette that does not occupy visual space aggressively. Its dimensions — 90 mm high, 115 mm long, and 150 mm deep — make it a manageable lamp, suitable for spaces where you do not want the luminaire to be the focal element.

The body material is die-cast aluminum. Aluminum is corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and stable against temperature changes. This makes it especially suitable for outdoor installations, where sun, humidity, and thermal variations are part of the everyday environment. The matte white color of the body is a neutral finish that integrates well with light-colored façades, whitewashed walls, or surfaces painted in grey or beige tones.

The diffuser is made of transparent glass. Unlike opaline diffusers, this one allows the light source to be seen from outside, giving the wall light a more traditional or lantern-like appearance when lit. The light it projects is direct and defined, without a hazy effect. This is worth bearing in mind if you are looking for a concentrated beam of light toward the wall or entrance.

In the garden, the wall light works well as an orientation light — it marks the access to the home, illuminates the path to the door, or accompanies an outdoor seating area. Placed on the façade at the appropriate height, it provides sufficient light without creating direct glare toward people approaching.

On a terrace, this type of wall light is usually installed on the sides or next to the access door. The compact size of the wall light allows it to be combined with other spotlights or luminaires without the overall result feeling cluttered. Outdoor lighting can be complemented with a floor spotlight or low-voltage lighting to create different planes of light in the garden.

For those who want to incorporate a motion sensor or presence detector into the installation, it must be added separately, as this wall light does not include one as standard. However, since it is compatible with standard electricity and works with GU10 LED, integration with timed switches or motion sensors is technically straightforward.

Compatibility with a GU10 LED bulb allows you to choose from different color temperatures. A warm light of around 2700 K gives a cozier result, while a neutral or cool light is more functional and visibility-oriented. The maximum supported power is 8 W, sufficient for a wall lamp in a residential outdoor setting.

Sun and rain are two determining factors when choosing an outdoor wall light. The die-cast aluminum of this model withstands prolonged exposure to sunlight without losing its finish. The net weight of 0.38 kg makes handling easier during installation.

Questions and answers

Does the wall light include the GU10 LED bulb, or does it need to be purchased separately?

The bulb is not included. The wall light works with a GU10 LED fitting, with a maximum power of 8 W. You can purchase the bulb at any lighting or hardware store, and choose the color temperature that best suits your outdoor space.

Is the transparent glass diffuser suitable for installations directly exposed to sun and rain?

Yes. The diffuser is made of glass and the body of die-cast aluminum, materials commonly used in outdoor luminaires. The lamp is designed to be wall-mounted in outdoor settings such as gardens, façades, and terraces, where exposure to the elements is continuous.

Is the wall light compatible with motion sensors or presence detectors?

The wall light does not incorporate a motion sensor as standard. However, since it operates at standard voltage from 100 V to 240 V, it is possible to integrate it with an external detector installed in the electrical circuit, allowing the lamp to be switched on and off automatically based on detected movement.
