Overview

The FARO wall light is a surface-mounted lamp designed for those looking for functional lighting with a clean, tidy visual result. It mounts directly to the wall with no additional structures or complicated installations. The matte black steel body gives it a firm presence without looking visually heavy, and the fabric shade softens the light to prevent direct glare.

This wall light fits well in spaces where a lateral light source is needed: bedroom, living room, dining room, hallway or bathroom. The lamp was designed by Estudi Ribaudí, a design studio that works with FARO on pieces that combine contemporary form with durable materials. The result is a piece that fulfils its function without drawing excessive attention, while still having a character of its own.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior lighting. Their products are designed for the domestic environment, with attention to detail in finishes and materials.

Installation and specifications

Installing this wall light requires an electrical connection point on the wall, at the height where the lamp is to be placed. As a surface luminaire, it is anchored directly to the wall using the included fixing points. It is recommended that the installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, especially if there is no existing wiring at the chosen location. Before handling any connections, make sure the circuit is de-energised.

The fabric shade can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated dust. The matte black steel body accepts a soft cloth; abrasive products that could damage the finish should be avoided. The wall light should not be exposed to direct moisture or frequent splashing, unless the space allows for it with adequate ventilation. The E27 LED bulb is not included and must be purchased separately, respecting the maximum indicated wattage.

Design and use

The wall light combines two materials that complement each other well: the steel body provides solidity and a clearly defined matte black finish, while the fabric shade introduces a warmer texture that filters the light in a diffuse manner. This combination means the lamp does not feel like a cold element, despite the metal. The light it projects is soft to the sides and downwards, making it a valid option both for ambient lighting and for specific areas where directed but soft light is needed.

In the bedroom, placed at bedside table height or slightly above, this wall light replaces the table lamp without taking up any surface space. It is a practical solution when the bedroom is small or when the preference is to keep surfaces clear. The light it produces is sufficient for reading or creating a relaxed atmosphere before sleep.

In the living room, a pair of wall lights can flank a sofa, a picture or a television to balance the general lighting. The lamp works well as a complement to other light sources, and its matte black design integrates easily into modern, Nordic or industrial-style interiors. It does not compete with the rest of the furniture, but it does not go unnoticed either.

In the dining room, placed above a sideboard or on a side wall, it provides accent lighting that enhances the atmosphere without the need to install an additional ceiling lamp. In kitchens with poorly lit work areas, a wall light of these characteristics can solve the problem simply and without any construction work.

The hallway is another space where this type of lamp performs particularly well. Hallways tend to be narrow and with little natural light, and a wall light takes up less space than any floor or table lamp. In addition, hallways benefit from diffuse and not too intense light, which is exactly what the fabric shade of this model provides.

In the bathroom, provided the installation is carried out outside splash zones and with the appropriate electrical precautions, a wall light of these dimensions can work as supplementary light next to the mirror or in a washbasin area. Bathrooms with a contemporary or minimalist aesthetic appreciate a clean-lined accessory like this one.

The Estudi Ribaudí design favours balanced proportions: 380 mm in length and 160 mm in height allow the lamp to be visible and functional without visually dominating the space where it is installed. The depth of 150 mm is restrained, meaning it does not protrude excessively from the wall. In rooms with frequent foot traffic, that is a detail worth appreciating.

Compatibility with E27 LED bulbs allows for the choice of colour temperature best suited to each environment. A warm light enhances the welcoming character of bedrooms and living rooms; a more neutral light can be useful in kitchens or bathrooms where greater visual precision is needed.

Questions and answers

Does the wall light include the E27 LED bulb or does it need to be purchased separately?

The bulb is not included. The wall light accepts an E27 socket with a maximum power of 15 W, and the bulb must be purchased separately. It is recommended to choose an LED bulb compatible with that socket.

How far does the wall light protrude once installed on the wall?

The body depth is 150 mm from the wall. This is a restrained measurement that allows it to be installed in hallways or passageways without becoming an obstacle.

Is the wall light's voltage compatible with the standard electrical grid in Spain?

Yes. The wall light operates within a range of 100V to 240V, making it fully compatible with the Spanish domestic electrical grid, which operates at 230V.
