Faro Alp 130 Wall Lamp - Dark Grey

A slim architectural wash for exterior walls

The Alp 130 is a compact outdoor wall light with a crisp, almost cuboid profile and a clever open channel across its face. Rather than pointing light in a single direction, it pushes a soft beam out through the top and bottom of that recess, washing the wall above and below the fitting. The result is a quietly architectural piece that reads as much as a design detail as a light source, well suited to contemporary exteriors where you want illumination without a fussy lantern shape.

The dark grey finish

This version wears a textured dark grey coat over its cast aluminium body, a tone that sits comfortably against render, brick, timber cladding and stone alike. It is understated in daylight and recedes into the wall after dark, letting the twin bands of light do the talking. The muted grey is a practical choice for facades and boundary walls where a glossy or pale fitting would draw too much attention to itself. If you are matching a scheme, note that the Alp family is also offered in other finishes, so this listing is specifically the dark grey wall lamp.

How it works

Light comes from an integrated LED rated at 8W, running at a warm 3000K colour temperature that keeps the glow inviting rather than clinical. Because the LED is built in, there is no separate bulb to buy or replace. The body is cast aluminium with a transparent polycarbonate diffuser, and the fitting is mains powered and wall mounted. Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician.

Where it works best

The up and down wash makes the Alp 130 a natural fit for framing a front door, punctuating a run of garden wall, lighting a passage or side return, or adding rhythm along a terrace or courtyard. Mount a pair either side of an entrance, or space several along a longer elevation for an even, gently graphic effect. It suits modern homes, but the simple geometry also sits happily on older properties that want a discreet, low key exterior light.

Weather resistance

The Alp 130 carries an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and against water splashing from any direction. That makes it a dependable choice for genuinely exposed outdoor walls, facades, driveways and pathways where it will meet wind driven rain, not just sheltered porches.

Questions People Ask

Does the Faro Alp 130 need an overhang or canopy to protect it outdoors?

The Faro Alp 130 gives out 350 lumens from its integrated 8W LED, an output suited to a soft architectural wash on a wall surface rather than as a main source of light for a whole entrance or path.

Can the Faro Alp 130 be dimmed?

The Faro Alp 130 is 150mm long and 130mm deep with a 60mm high body, and the light emerges through an open channel across its face, washing the wall above and below the fitting rather than projecting outward from it.
