Overview

The VICO lamp by FARO is a ceiling pendant luminaire with a clean profile and an aesthetic that doesn't impose itself, but doesn't go unnoticed either. Its oval shape and matte black finish give it a defined character without falling into eccentricities. It is a solid option for those looking for something that works well in the space and won't look outdated in a few years.

This version measures 600 mm in length and is installed with a surface-mounted canopy, which simplifies mounting and leaves the ceiling fixing visible as part of the design. The VICO collection also offers the possibility of installing a recessed canopy for those who prefer a more integrated finish, but in this version the result is equally neat and coherent.

The opaline PC oval diffuser distributes light evenly, without bright spots or sharp shadows. The SMD LED light source is already included, at 2700K, producing a warm light that suits the quieter moments of the day.

FARO is a Spanish company with decades of experience in lighting. Its products combine functionality and design without complicating the purchasing or installation process.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the lamp, check that the ceiling wiring is in adequate condition and that the power is switched off. The fixture is attached directly to the ceiling via the included surface-mounted canopy. If you have doubts about the type of support required depending on the ceiling material, consult an electrician. Follow the indicated wiring and do not exceed the specified maximum power of 15W.

To clean the matte black aluminium body, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the finish. The opaline PC oval diffuser is cleaned in the same way. Do not handle the lamp while it is switched on or connected to the mains.

Design and use

The VICO lamp in its 600 mm version is a ceiling pendant that balances two qualities that do not always go together: visual discretion and a real presence in the space. The aluminium body with a matte black finish has an elongated, oval shape that makes it recognisable without the need for additional decorative elements. It features no glass, does not imitate materials such as wood, wicker or rattan, and does not lean towards an industrial or vintage style. It is simply a modern luminaire that knows its place.

The opaline PC oval diffuser covers the LED light source and distributes the illumination softly throughout the room. In a dining room, for example, this type of distribution prevents the light from falling only on the table and leaving the rest of the space darker. The result is a balanced atmosphere that does not strain the eyes. It also works well in a living room where ambient light is desired without resorting to several independent light points.

In the kitchen, a pendant lamp of this type can be installed above the island or above the work area, providing functional light with a design that does not disrupt the overall look. In the bedroom, the warm 2700K light creates a relaxed atmosphere, suitable for rest. Even in spaces such as the bathroom, as long as it is placed in areas without direct humidity, an oval pendant lamp with these characteristics can integrate well into a broader lighting project.

The living room or hallway can also accommodate this type of luminaire, especially when a linear piece is sought that does not take up too much visual space but provides sufficient light. The matte black finish contrasts easily with white or light-coloured ceilings, and also complements concrete surfaces or more neutral tones.

The 600 mm length makes it versatile for medium-sized spaces. It is not a monumental lamp, but it does not look small on a standard dining table or kitchen worktop either. The surface-mounted canopy included in this version is part of the design: it is not hidden, but forms part of the whole with the same aesthetic coherence as the rest of the piece.

The SMD LED light source is included, meaning you can install the lamp and put it into use without needing to find a separate bulb. The 2700K temperature gives a warm light, similar to that of a traditional incandescent bulb, but with a much lower consumption at 15W. For a room in daily use, that is sufficient to create a pleasant atmosphere without overloading the ceiling with lights.

The net weight of 1.2 kg is manageable for a standard installation on a solid ceiling. The total height of 32.5 mm ensures the lamp does not hang excessively, making it suitable even for rooms with moderate ceiling heights. If the space allows, the effect is even cleaner.

Questions and answers

Is the canopy on this lamp recessed or surface-mounted?

This specific version of the VICO lamp includes a surface-mounted canopy, meaning it remains visible on the ceiling. The collection also offers a version with a recessed canopy, but that is a different model.

Is the LED light source included or does it need to be purchased separately?

The lamp includes the integrated SMD LED light source, at 2700K and with a maximum power of 15W. No additional bulb needs to be purchased to install and use it.

Is this 600 mm oval lamp suitable for a standard dining table?

Yes. The 600 mm length is compatible with medium-sized dining tables, both as a single installation and in combination with another unit if the table is longer. The oval profile and matte black finish work well above surfaces of different materials and colours.
