Overview

The TATAWIN wall light by FARO is a wall-mounted luminaire with an adjustable arm, designed for those looking for more than just a light source. The shade has a distinctive shape: it is reminiscent of the domes found on traditional dwellings in Tataouine, a city in southeastern Tunisia. That detail gives it a character of its own, hard to find in an everyday lamp.

The body is made of steel with a satin black finish, and the shade is made of white opal glass. The combination works well in spaces where contrast between the structure and the light diffusion is desired. The adjustable arm allows the light to be directed as needed, without changing the position of the wall light.

FARO is a Spanish brand with years of experience in interior and exterior lighting. Their products stand out for combining design with functionality, and the TATAWIN family is a good example of that.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, the base must be fixed directly onto the vertical surface with anchors appropriate for the wall type. It is recommended that installation be carried out by a qualified electrician, as it requires connection to the building's electrical network. Before starting, make sure to turn off the power at the main panel. The E27 LED bulb is not included and must be purchased separately.

To keep the luminaire in good condition, clean the steel body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. The opal glass can be cleaned with a soft cloth, without abrasive products. Avoid direct contact with water in the electrical connection areas. Do not exceed the indicated maximum power of 15 W.

Design and use

The TATAWIN wall light starts from a concrete design idea. Adolfo Abejón took the characteristic dwellings of Tataouine as a reference to shape the shade, and the result is a piece that does not go unnoticed. It is not a decorative lamp in the most superficial sense of the word, but a luminaire with its own identity that adds something to the space where it is placed.

The satin black steel body has a clear visual presence without feeling heavy. It is a finish that does not reflect excessively and that maintains its appearance well over time. The white opal glass shade diffuses light softly, without creating intense bright spots. That combination of dark structure and light shade is precisely what makes this wall light work in modern interiors as well as in spaces with a more classic or Mediterranean style.

The adjustable arm is one of the most practical elements of this lamp. It allows the direction of the light to be adjusted according to the use of the space or the arrangement of the furniture, without needing to move the wall light from the wall. In a bedroom, for example, it can be directed toward the headboard to facilitate reading. In the living room, it can be aimed at a rest area or toward a decorative element that one wishes to highlight.

In the kitchen, a wall light of these characteristics makes sense mainly in transition areas or on walls with little natural light. It does not replace the main functional lighting, but it complements the overall atmosphere well. In the dining room, placed at a medium height on the wall, it can create ambient light that softens the space during dinner.

In the bathroom, as long as the safety zones established by electrical regulations are respected, this wall light can work very well next to the mirror or on a side wall. The black finish contrasts well with the white or neutral finishes common in modern bathrooms. In smaller bathrooms, the scale of the piece — 150 mm high, 184 mm long — is proportionate without taking up too much visual space.

In hallways, where natural light is often scarce, this type of wall light is a common and effective solution. A single well-placed light can transform a dark corridor into a passageway with character. If the hallway is long, two units of this lamp placed at regular intervals create an orderly and functional visual sequence.

The satin black finish of the body pairs well with dark woodwork, matte black or graphite hardware, and with concrete, stone, or natural wood surfaces. It also contrasts interestingly with white walls or those in light tones, where the structure of the wall light becomes a visible element of the whole. In rooms with a Nordic or industrial style, this design fits effortlessly.

Compatibility with an E27 LED bulb allows the color temperature to be chosen according to the desired atmosphere. Warm light produces a more intimate result, while neutral or cool light is better suited to work areas or spaces where greater visual precision is needed.

Questions and answers

Does the arm of the TATAWIN wall light allow the direction of the light to be changed once installed?

Yes. The arm is adjustable, which means you can change the angle of the shade after installation, without needing to remove the wall light from the wall.

Is the white opal glass shade included with the product or sold separately?

The opal glass shade is part of the wall light and is included. What is not included is the bulb, which must be an E27 base, LED type, with a maximum power of 15 W.

Is this wall light suitable for installation in the bathroom?

It depends on the exact location within the bathroom. The safety zones established by current electrical regulations must be respected. If you have any doubts about the installation, consult an electrician before fitting it.
