Overview

The FLAC recessed light by FARO is a compact, adjustable ceiling lamp designed for spaces where every detail matters. Its matte black aluminum body blends in without drawing attention, and allows you to direct the light beam exactly where it is needed. It is an option that works well in hallways, entryways, transition areas, or any corner where precise lighting is needed without taking up visual space.

The modern design of the FLAC makes it compatible with contemporary interiors: from a bedroom with clean lines to a dining room with an industrial aesthetic. Its very small size — 66 mm in diameter — makes it one of the most discreet lamps in its category. FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in home lighting, with a presence in residential and commercial projects around the world.

Installation and specifications

Before installing this ceiling lamp, a hole of approximately 66 mm in diameter must be prepared in the ceiling. The minimum depth required to accommodate the body is 100 mm, so it is advisable to verify the available space above the false ceiling before starting. The electrical connection must be made with the power completely disconnected. The GU10 LED bulb is not included and must be purchased separately: make sure it is compatible with Mini GU10 and has a maximum power of 3 W. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician.

For maintenance, simply clean the outer surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the black aluminum finish. Do not touch the bulb with unprotected fingers, as skin oils can shorten its lifespan. When you need to replace the light source, always disconnect the power before handling the lamp.

Design and use

The FLAC is an adjustable recessed ceiling light belonging to the family of modern small-format lights. Its body is made of aluminum with a black finish, giving it a sober presence and at the same time a defined style. Black is not just an aesthetic choice: in spaces with white or grey ceilings, the lamp acts as a clean contrast point without being intrusive.

Being adjustable, it allows the direction of the light beam to be modified after installation. This is useful in spaces where the arrangement of furniture may change, or where a specific element is to be highlighted: a painting, a shelf, a work area. In a bedroom, for example, it can be directed towards the bedside table to create reading light without the need for an additional lamp. In double bedrooms, combining two units allows both sides to be covered precisely.

In the kitchen, this type of recessed light works very well above countertops or work bars. The kitchen bar is often a point that requires direct lighting, and the small size of the FLAC allows several units to be installed in a row without the result looking cluttered. In the dining room, placed above or near the table, it provides focused lighting that enhances the atmosphere without the need for a large central ceiling light. Conventional ceiling lights distribute light diffusely; the FLAC, on the other hand, allows it to be concentrated where needed.

The recessed format ensures that the lamp is integrated into the ceiling, without protruding or interfering with the visual flow of the space. It is one of the most valued modern lights precisely for this reason: it does not take up space, does not distract, it simply does its job. In narrow hallways or access areas where a pendant lamp would not make sense, the recessed light is the most coherent solution.

Compatibility with voltages between 100V and 277V means the FLAC can be installed in electrical systems in different countries or buildings with varying technical characteristics. The modern design of the body fits with Nordic, minimalist, or industrial style interiors. It can also be combined with other dark finishes present in the space, such as window frames, handles, or furniture in matte black.

From a visual standpoint, the final result is a clean ceiling, with small black dots that are barely noticeable when the lamp is off, and which provide concentrated lighting when in use. For those looking for modern lights without sacrificing discretion, the FLAC represents a balanced option between form and function. The directed lighting offered by this type of recessed light is especially useful in renovation projects where precise control of each area of the space is desired, without relying on a single central light point.

Questions and answers

What diameter hole do I need to make in the ceiling to install the FLAC?

The required opening diameter is 66 mm. Before drilling, also verify that there is at least 100 mm of depth available above the false ceiling to accommodate the lamp body.

Is the GU10 LED bulb included with the recessed light?

No, the light source is not included. You need to purchase a compatible Mini GU10 LED bulb separately, with a maximum power of 3 W.

Can the direction of the light be adjusted after installing the FLAC in the ceiling?

Yes, the recessed light is adjustable, which allows the angle of the light beam to be modified once installed. This makes it easy to adapt the lighting to changes in the layout of the space without needing to reinstall the lamp.
