Faro Das 300 Beacon Lamp - Dark Grey

A low garden beacon that lights a path without towering over it

The Das 300 is a low standing garden beacon with a distinctive open rectangular frame, a clean architectural loop that stands quietly among planting and paving rather than towering over it. At just 30cm tall it belongs to the smaller end of the Das outdoor family, casting a soft glow from the inner faces of its frame down towards the ground. It is a considered piece of exterior lighting, more sculptural marker than floodlight, designed to add rhythm and gentle illumination to a garden after dark.

The dark grey finish and compact size

This version pairs the 30cm frame with a matt dark grey finish, a textured anthracite tone that reads as almost charcoal in daylight and recedes into the background at night so the light itself takes centre stage. The body is built from cast aluminium with a glass diffuser, a robust combination chosen for life outdoors. The dark grey suits contemporary planting schemes, porcelain paving, rendered walls and timber decking equally well, and the low 30cm height makes it ideal for lining a path or edging a border without dominating the view. Taller and wall mounted pieces exist within the wider Das range, so this compact beacon is the one to choose where you want a discreet, ground level accent.

How it works

Light comes from an integrated LED, so there is no separate bulb to buy or replace. Faro specifies the LED as an 8W module at 3000K, a warm white colour temperature that gives a welcoming glow well suited to gardens and outdoor entertaining. The beacon is a floor fixed fitting that mounts to a solid base and runs on a standard mains supply. Because it is a hardwired mains fitting, Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician.

Where it works best

The Das 300 is at home lining a garden path, punctuating a border, marking the edge of a terrace or flanking a set of steps, where its low profile and downward glow help guide the way without glare. Grouped in pairs or repeated along a route it creates a calm, ordered sequence of light, and a single unit works well as a quiet accent beside a doorway or seating area. With an IP54 rating it is protected against splashing water from any direction, so it copes comfortably with rain and the general exposure of an open garden setting.

Faro Barcelona design

Das is part of Faro Barcelona's outdoor collections, developed by the Spanish lighting company that designs from Castellbisbal, on the edge of Barcelona, and is known for its work in die cast aluminium and integrated LED engineering for exterior use. The result is a fitting that balances a strong, minimal silhouette with the durability an outdoor light needs.
