Overview

The FARO KOV wall light is a wall lamp designed for outdoor installation. It works well at building entrances, façades, covered terraces, and private access points where controlled and long-lasting lighting is needed. Its compact format allows it to be mounted both vertically and horizontally, providing flexibility when adapting it to the available space.

What sets this wall light apart is the combination of direct and indirect light with a recessed light source. This means the lamp does not glare: the light is projected, not exposed. It also allows you to choose between two projection angles —23° and 34°— and to direct the beam upward or downward depending on the needs of each installation.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in the lighting industry. Its outdoor luminaires are designed to withstand real-world conditions: rain, humidity, and temperature changes. The KOV wall light includes an internal drainage system that prevents water from accumulating inside the housing.

Installation and specifications

For installation, a recessed wall box or an already-wired connection point on the outer surface is required. As this is an outdoor wall lamp, the wiring must be protected and comply with applicable electrical regulations. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician. Before fixing the wall light, check that the surface is solid and can support the weight of the assembly.

For maintenance, simply clean the aluminium surface with a soft damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that may damage the white finish. Do not direct pressurised water jets directly onto the lamp. Periodically check the condition of the sealing and fixing points, especially after periods of heavy rain or prolonged sun exposure.

Design and use

The KOV wall light is made of aluminium, a material that combines lightness and durability. The white finish gives it a clean, neutral appearance that fits well with modern façades, whitewashed walls, or exposed concrete surfaces. It is not a lamp that draws attention on its own, but instead integrates into the surroundings without generating excessive visual contrast.

The technical design of this wall lamp responds to specific outdoor installation needs. The drainage system built into the housing prevents rainwater from being retained inside, which extends the service life of the wall light and reduces the risk of internal deterioration. This detail makes a difference in climates where rain is frequent or where condensation can be a problem.

The COB LED light source is recessed within the body of the wall light, preventing direct glare. In spaces where people are moving around —an entrance, a garden, a terrace— this makes a notable difference in terms of visual comfort. The colour temperature of 3000K offers a warm light that is neither cold nor clinical, suitable both for passageways and for corners where a more intimate atmosphere is desired.

The ability to adjust the projection angle between 23° and 34° allows the light distribution to be fine-tuned according to use. A narrower angle concentrates the beam and is useful for illuminating a specific area of the wall or floor. A wider angle distributes the light better over broad surfaces. Combined with the option to orient the lamp upward or downward, this makes the KOV wall light an adaptable solution for different configurations.

On a façade, two wall lights installed symmetrically on either side of a door produce a balanced result. On a terrace, a row of luminaires mounted horizontally on a side wall can function as general ambient lighting. In a garden with a pedestrian access, vertical installation on a pillar or column provides a clear visual reference without creating uncomfortable shadow areas.

The wall light does not incorporate a motion sensor or presence detector, making it suitable for installations with manual control or an external timer. For those who wish to combine this fixture with a home automation system, it simply connects through the corresponding electrical circuit without any need to modify the lamp.

With compact dimensions —212 mm high, 80 mm long, and 87 mm deep— the KOV wall light does not take up much space on the wall. This makes it compatible with narrow surfaces or installations where the space between architectural elements is limited. The weight of 1.23 kg is light enough to mount on most surfaces without additional reinforcement.

Questions and answers

Can the KOV wall light be installed horizontally as well as vertically?

Yes. The design of the wall light allows it to be mounted both vertically and horizontally on the wall, making it easy to adapt to different installation configurations depending on the available space.

What is the practical difference between the two available projection angles, 23° and 34°?

The 23° angle concentrates the light beam more, which is useful for illuminating a specific point or surface. The 34° angle distributes the light over a somewhat wider area, which is more suitable when you want to cover a larger zone with the same wall light.

Is the COB LED lamp included with the wall light or does it need to be purchased separately?

The COB LED light source is included. It does not need to be purchased separately or matched with other models.
