Faro Nat Recessed Lamp - Dark Grey

A weatherproof strip of light for steps and walls

The Nat is a horizontal recessed wall light built for the exterior, designed to sit flush into a wall or riser and cast a soft, low level wash across the surface below. Its long, slim rectangular form and angled internal reflector make it a discreet piece of outdoor lighting: by day it reads as a simple recessed panel, and after dark it throws a warm, glare controlled glow that guides rather than dazzles.

The dark grey finish

This version comes in a textured dark grey, a matt anthracite tone that recedes against slate, render, brick and stone. It is an easy finish to place on a contemporary façade or a garden wall where you want the light without a fitting that draws attention to itself. The body is made in die cast aluminium, a robust choice for outdoor use that stands up well to the weather while keeping the crisp, low profile lines of the design. If you are matching other fittings, note that the Nat is also offered in alternative finishes, so this dark grey is one option within the range.

How it works

The Nat uses an integrated LED, so there is no separate bulb to buy or replace. Faro specifies a warm white 3000K colour temperature with a wide spread of light, which is what gives the fitting its inviting, ambient quality outdoors. Because the LED is built in, the unit is designed as a sealed, low maintenance luminaire rather than one you relamp. It is a mains powered fitting intended to be recessed and wired in, and Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician.

Where it works best

This is a natural choice for lighting steps, low garden walls, terraces, patios, driveways and pathways, and for marking porch and entrance walls at ankle or knee height. Recessed into a boundary wall it delivers gentle signal lighting along a route; set into a planter wall or terrace edge it adds atmosphere without light spill upward. It suits anyone looking for understated, architectural exterior lighting that does its job quietly.

Questions People Ask

Can the Faro Nat be fitted somewhere that gets direct rain and no shelter?
Yes. The Faro Nat carries an IP65 rating, which means it is fully protected against dust and against water jets from any direction, so it can be fitted in fully exposed, uncovered outdoor positions rather than needing shelter.

How bright is the Faro Nat recessed light?
The Faro Nat produces around 330 lumens from its integrated 8W LED, giving a warm, ambient wash of light suited to steps, terraces and garden walls rather than bright, functional illumination.

What size hole does the Faro Nat need cut into the wall?
The Faro Nat requires a cut out of around 215mm by 65mm by 70mm, so the wall or structure needs a recess of that size before the fitting can be wired in.

What is the beam spread of the Faro Nat?
Faro states the Nat has a 120 degree beam angle, giving a wide, even wash of light across the wall below rather than a narrow spotlight effect.
