Overview

The FARO wall light is a surface-mounted lamp designed for interior spaces where light needs to serve a specific purpose without taking up too much room. It is fixed directly to the wall and provides directed, clean illumination with no distracting elements. It is a suitable option for the bedroom, living room, dining room, bathroom, or hallways where a compact, well-finished light source is desired.

The body is made of white matte-finish plaster, giving it a solid yet understated profile. The opal glass diffuser softens the light output and prevents direct glare. The overall design is contemporary and fits well with clean-lined interiors, without needing to adapt the environment to the lamp.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in indoor and outdoor lighting. Its products combine technical criteria with attention to finish, which is evident both in the materials and in the final result once the lamp is installed.

Installation and specifications

Installing this wall light requires an electrical connection point on the wall at the desired height. Since the body is made of plaster, it is important to ensure that the surface where it will be mounted is sufficiently firm. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially if there is no existing connection box. The R7S LED 78 mm bulb is not included and must be purchased separately before first use.

To clean the plaster body, a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient. Abrasive products or solvents should not be used, as they may damage the white matte finish. The glass diffuser can be cleaned with a soft cloth without excessive pressure. Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the lamp from the power supply.

Design and use

The plaster wall light has a presence on the wall that feels natural, almost as if it were part of the construction itself. The material is uncommon in surface luminaires, and that sets it apart from other models made of metal or plastic. The plaster subtly absorbs the light coming from the diffuser and creates a calm visual effect, free of glare or reflections.

The opal glass diffuser plays an important role in the overall assembly: it distributes light evenly and softens it before it exits. In a bedroom, this results in illumination without harsh contrasts, well suited to moments of rest. In the living room, the wall light can work as supplementary lighting alongside other sources, adding warmth without drawing too much attention.

In the dining room, a wall lamp like this can complement the central lighting well, especially if the space has seating areas or a sideboard to be highlighted. The size of the wall light — 245 mm long and 130 mm deep — makes it proportionate for standard-sized walls without being too small or excessive.

The bathroom is another space where this type of wall light works well, provided the installation area is not in direct contact with splashing water. In bathrooms with separate dry zones, a lamp of these characteristics provides a light point that improves visibility without relying solely on overhead lighting. For hallways, the wall light is a common and effective solution: it takes up little space, does not interfere with movement, and maintains continuous illumination along the entire length.

The matte white finish of the body makes it compatible with light-colored walls, both white and neutral tones. It can also be placed on colored surfaces if a subtle contrast is desired. The contemporary design of the lamp does not impose a specific style, making it suitable for modern, minimalist interiors or transitional spaces that mix elements from different eras.

The R7S LED 78 mm light source is efficient and has a long service life. Once the appropriate bulb is installed, the wall light operates with low energy consumption and requires no frequent maintenance. The voltage compatible with the 100 V – 240 V range makes it suitable for standard electrical installations in Spain and other European countries.

The weight of the assembly — less than one kilogram — makes handling easy during installation and places no special demands on the mounting wall beyond it being a solid support. In rooms with plasterboard walls or lightweight partitions, it is advisable to locate a firm fixing point or use appropriate anchors for that type of surface.

Questions and answers

Is the plaster body fragile or can it be damaged during installation?

Plaster is a material that requires careful handling, especially when removing the wall light from its packaging and during placement. Once fixed to the wall, the body is stable and presents no durability issues under normal indoor use conditions.

What type of R7S LED 78 mm bulb is compatible with this wall light?

The lamp accepts R7S LED 78 mm bulbs with a maximum wattage of 8 W. It is important to respect that power limit and use bulbs with the correct length of 78 mm, as the JP78 format has specific dimensions that are not interchangeable with other versions of the same base.

Can this wall light be installed in a bathroom?

The wall light is designed for general interior use. In bathrooms, it can be installed in areas away from the shower or bathtub, where there is no risk of direct water splashing. Consult an installer if you have any doubts about the exact installation area.
