Overview

The FARO TAST is a square aluminum recessed light with a matte white finish, designed to be installed in the ceiling. Its compact shape and low profile make it especially useful in spaces where clean, tidy lighting is desired, without elements that protrude too much from the surface. It works well both in hallways and in corners where focused, directional light is needed.

This recessed light incorporates a COB LED light source, offering a color temperature of 2700K. That warm tone is pleasant in rest and social environments. It consumes a maximum of 5 W, making it an efficient option for those who want to keep energy costs under control without sacrificing good lighting.

FARO is a brand with experience in designing luminaires for the home and architectural spaces. Their products combine functionality with a refined style, designed to integrate well into different types of environments.

Installation and specifications

Before installing the recessed light, make sure the opening in the ceiling matches the product's dimensions. A square space of 55 x 55 mm must be cut and access to the wiring above the false ceiling or mounting surface must be available. Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, as it involves direct connection to the 220V–240V electrical mains. Verify that the installation area does not have excessive moisture or is exposed to conditions the product cannot tolerate.

For maintenance, simply clean the surface of the aluminum body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive products or solvents that could damage the matte white finish. Do not handle the lamp while the power is on. If you notice any unusual behavior in operation, disconnect the circuit before inspecting the installation.

Design and use

The TAST is a ceiling recessed light with a modern design and a square silhouette that integrates easily into different types of surfaces. The aluminum body gives it solidity and durability, with a very low weight of just 0.14 kg. The matte white finish is one of the elements that defines its style, as it adapts to both white ceilings and surfaces in neutral tones.

The lamp emits warm light at 2700K, similar to that produced by a traditional incandescent bulb. This type of lighting is usually perceived as cozy and is suitable in bedrooms where a calm atmosphere is desired before sleeping. It also works well in the dining room, where light shapes objects and colors in a more natural way. Arranged in a row or in a line, several units of this recessed light can define specific zones within a larger space.

In the kitchen, ceiling recessed lights allow work areas to be illuminated without taking up space or interfering with furniture. A well-planned lighting layout in the kitchen improves visibility and gives a sense of order. This type of solution also adapts to smaller spaces, such as a hallway or a dressing area, where a pendant lamp would not fit.

In bedrooms, the TAST can be combined with other home luminaires to create different levels of lighting. The option of distributing several recessed lights at different heights or in different areas of the ceiling allows the ambiance to be adjusted according to the time of day. The modern design of this lamp does not visually compete with the rest of the decorative elements, making it a discreet complement that works in the background.

In the dining room, modern recessed lights work well alongside a central pendant lamp. The combination of both types of lighting adds more depth to the space and avoids harsh shadows. The white finish of the TAST facilitates this integration, as it does not introduce a color element that distorts the overall style.

The recessed ceiling light also adapts well to renovations where lighting needs to be updated without making major changes to the ceiling. Simply prepare the appropriate opening and connect the existing wiring. The lamp sits flush with the ceiling, with no protrusions that collect dust. Several lights distributed symmetrically create an orderly effect that reinforces the sense of spaciousness in the interior. For spaces with low ceilings, this solution is especially practical, as it does not visually reduce the height of the room.

The consumption of 5 W per unit allows several lights to be used simultaneously without the electricity cost being significant. The COB LED light source is already included, so no additional components need to be purchased before installation.

Questions and answers

What size opening needs to be prepared in the ceiling to install the TAST?

The body of the recessed light measures 55 x 55 mm at its base, so the opening in the ceiling must have those same dimensions. It is advisable to verify that the surface is flat and that there is sufficient space above to accommodate the lamp body, which has a height of 28 mm.

Is the COB LED light source included with the product?

Yes, the TAST includes the COB LED light source as standard. No additional components need to be purchased for the lamp to function once installed.

Is the 2700K color temperature fixed or can it be adjusted?

The color temperature is fixed at 2700K, which corresponds to warm light. It cannot be modified. This tone is suitable for environments where cozy, understated lighting is desired.
