Overview

The TOM wall light by FARO is an outdoor luminaire designed for those looking for a simple and durable solution to illuminate a terrace, an entrance, or any exterior area of the home. It mounts directly on the wall and works without complications from day one. Its dark grey finish fits well with both modern facades and stone or concrete walls.

One of the features that sets it apart is its IP65 protection. This means the wall light withstands rain and dust without any issues, making it a suitable option for areas exposed to the outdoors. There is no need to worry about stormy nights or summer sun. The body is made of ABS and the diffuser of opaline polycarbonate, materials that perform well outdoors without losing their appearance over time.

In addition to being used as a wall light, the TOM model can also be installed as a ceiling flush mount. This dual functionality allows it to be adapted to different situations without the need to look for another lamp.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in lighting. Its luminaires are present in both interior design projects and outdoor installations, and its catalogue combines design with materials built to last.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the wall light, make sure that the wall or ceiling where you are going to place it can support the weight and that there is an accessible electrical outlet in that area. It is essential to cut the power at the breaker box before making any connection. If you do not have experience with electrical installations, the safest option is to leave the assembly in the hands of an electrician. The wall light is fixed directly to the surface using the included anchors. Check that it is properly secured and that there is no play before closing the box.

To clean the surface of the wall light, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish of the body or the diffuser. Do not direct jets of water directly onto the luminaire even if it has IP65 protection, as that protection is designed for rain, not for pressure cleaning. Periodically check the fixing screws to make sure they remain in good condition, especially in areas with sudden temperature changes.

Design and use

The TOM wall light has a compact and clean design that does not draw excessive attention, but fulfils its function well. The dimensions are 190 x 190 mm with a depth of only 60 mm, making it discreet on the wall and not casting annoying shadows. The weight is 0.43 kg, so it does not require special fixing or extra work on the wall.

The lamp incorporates SMD LED technology with a colour temperature of 3000K. This warm tone creates a pleasant atmosphere at dusk, without the coldness of pure white light. The LED is already included, so there is no need to purchase anything else to get it up and running.

The opaline diffuser distributes light evenly. There are no bright spots or areas in shadow, which makes the lighting more comfortable both for walking and for sitting on the terrace. The dark grey colour of the body works well on light-coloured surfaces because it creates a subtle contrast, and it also fits on dark facades where it blends in more discreetly.

The body material, ABS, is resistant to impacts and the passage of time. It does not rust or deform easily with the heat of the sun or the cold. The polycarbonate of the diffuser has similar characteristics: it withstands continuous exposure to sunlight without yellowing or losing transparency.

This wall light is a practical option for a regularly used terrace, for the entrance of a house, for a garden that needs a fixed light point, or for access to a garage. It can also be placed in covered outdoor areas where the ceiling does not allow a hanging lamp to be suspended. Its versatility as a flush mount or wall light broadens the possibilities of use without the need to resort to a different luminaire.

In terms of combination with other elements, the light works well with materials such as dark wood, concrete, or natural stone. It does not depend on a specific decorative style, making it easy to integrate into different settings. In a garden with vegetation, the warm light projected by the lamp creates pleasant reflections on the plants without being harsh.

Questions and answers

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

The lamp comes with the light source already included. It is an integrated SMD-type LED, so no additional components need to be purchased for it to function.

What exactly does the IP65 protection of the wall light mean?

The IP65 classification indicates that the luminaire is fully protected against dust and against water jets from any direction. It is sufficient for outdoor use in areas exposed to rain, such as a terrace or the facade of a home.

Is it possible to install the TOM wall light on the ceiling instead of on the wall?

Yes. The design of the wall light allows it to be used both on the wall and on the ceiling, as a flush mount. This broadens the installation possibilities according to the needs of each space.
