Overview

The KOV wall light by FARO is an outdoor lamp designed for wall mounting. It works well at house entrances, facades, covered terraces, or garden access points where clean, straightforward lighting is needed. Its circular shape and black finish give it a contained profile that does not compete with the surroundings but integrates into them.

What sets this wall light apart is the ability to direct light upward, downward, or in both directions at the same time. In addition, you can choose between two beam angles — 14° or 23° — allowing you to adjust how the beam is projected onto the wall or the ground. The light source is recessed inside the body, so there is no direct glare when looking at it straight on.

FARO is a Spanish brand with years of experience in luminaires for residential and architectural use. Their outdoor products combine technical criteria with a design that does not feel out of place in domestic spaces.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the wall light, check that the junction box in the wall is deep enough to accommodate the wiring without forcing it. The mounting is directly onto the wall, so it is advisable to mark the anchor points carefully before drilling. If the wall is made of brick or block, use plugs suited to the material. The wiring must comply with current electrical regulations; if you do not have experience with electrical installations, it is recommended to hire an electrician.

For maintenance, clean the surface of the wall light with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the aluminium finish. Since it is an outdoor lamp, periodically check that the internal drainage system is not blocked, especially after periods of heavy rain. Do not handle the luminaire while the installation is connected to the electrical supply.

Design and use

The body of the KOV wall light is made of aluminium, a material that holds up well in outdoor conditions without adding unnecessary weight to the installation. With a net weight of just over one kilogram, it is manageable during assembly and does not require special fixings beyond those standard for this type of wall mounting.

The design incorporates an internal drainage system that prevents water from accumulating inside the body. This is relevant in climates where rain is frequent or where the lamp is directly exposed to the elements. This is not an aesthetic detail but a functional one: it extends the service life of the luminaire and reduces the risk of damage from accumulated moisture.

The light source is of the COB LED type, integrated and recessed within the structure. This recessed spotlight design avoids the glare that typically appears when an outdoor lamp is at eye level. The light it produces has a colour temperature of 2700K, meaning a warm tone that creates a sense of warmth in spaces such as a terrace or a home entrance. It is not a cold or intense light, but rather the kind of light that makes the exterior of a house look good at night.

One of the most practical aspects of the KOV wall light is the ability to choose the beam angle: 14° for a more concentrated projection, or 23° if you prefer to spread the light over a slightly wider area. This choice is made at the time of installation. In addition, the wall light can be mounted facing upward or downward, or in a bidirectional configuration if you choose to illuminate both directions simultaneously. This flexibility allows the wall light to be adapted to different situations without the need to change models.

Regarding installation, the wall light supports both vertical and horizontal positioning on the wall, which allows it to be integrated into different types of facade or lighting arrangements. At a main entrance, two units at the same height on either side of the door create a balanced distribution. In an outdoor corridor or garden access, several luminaires spaced along the wall create a continuous visual guide without the need for a lantern or other bulkier solutions.

The black aluminium finish works well on both light-coloured facades and stone walls or dark cladding. It does not impose a specific style, making it easy to combine with other exterior elements without appearing discordant. In more technical or industrial-style spaces, it fits effortlessly. In more domestic settings, the contained profile and warm light balance the overall composition.

Questions and answers

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

The COB LED lamp is already included. It is not necessary to purchase any additional light source in order to install it and put it into operation.

Can this wall light be installed on a wall directly exposed to rain or sunlight?

The wall light is designed for outdoor use and features an internal drainage system that prevents water from pooling. It is suitable for areas exposed to rain and solar radiation without this affecting its normal operation.

Can the beam angle be changed after the wall light is installed, or does it need to be decided before mounting?

The available angles are 14° and 23°, and the choice is made during installation. Once the wall light is fixed to the wall, it is not possible to change the angle without dismounting the luminaire.
