Faro Plim 1 Beacon Lamp - Dark Grey

A slim beacon light that lines a path without any glare

The Plim 1 is a slim, freestanding beacon light that brings quiet, considered illumination to outdoor spaces. Its tall cylindrical column rises to a clear upper section where a white conical reflector directs a soft pool of light downward, so paths and borders are lit without glare. It is a clean, contemporary piece that reads as architectural rather than decorative, ideal where you want the lighting to feel built in rather than added on.

The dark grey finish

This version wears a dark grey anthracite finish, a deep neutral that settles easily into planting, gravel, stone and modern render alike. The matt column stays understated by day and recedes into the background after dark, letting the light itself do the work. Standing 65cm tall on a compact 9cm diameter footprint, it is proportioned to line a route or punctuate a bed without dominating it. The body is made from die cast aluminium with a polycarbonate diffuser, a pairing Faro Barcelona uses across its outdoor collections for durability in exposed positions.

How it works

Light comes from an integrated LED module rated at 10W, producing around 508 lumens of warm white light at 3000K, according to Faro. Because the LED is built in, there is no bulb to buy or replace and no lamp to source separately. The Plim 1 is not dimmable. It is a mains powered, hardwired fitting, so Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician.

Where it works best

This is a natural choice for lining garden paths, edging a driveway, marking steps or leading the eye along a terrace. Set in a sequence, several Plim 1 beacons create a rhythm of low, even light that makes a route feel safe and intentional after dark. It suits contemporary gardens, courtyards and entrance approaches, and the downward throw keeps light where it is useful rather than spilling into neighbouring spaces.

Weather resistance

The Plim 1 carries an IP65 rating, meaning it is dust tight and protected against water jets from any direction. In practical terms it is built for full outdoor exposure and will cope with rain, wind and the changing seasons in an open, uncovered position. It also holds an IK08 impact rating, adding a degree of resistance to knocks in busy garden settings.

Questions People Ask

What does the IP65 rating mean for the Plim 1 in an exposed garden?
IP65 means the Plim 1 is dust tight and protected against water jets from any direction, so it is built to stay outside all year in a fully open, uncovered position without any need for shelter.

What does the IK08 impact rating add to the Plim 1?
IK08 means the Plim 1 can take a reasonably firm knock without damage, which is useful for a freestanding beacon light placed near a path, driveway or busy garden border.

Does the Plim 1 take a separate bulb?
No. The Plim 1 uses an integrated LED module rated at 10W, so there is no bulb to buy or replace, and the light source is sealed inside the fitting.

How much space does the Plim 1 take up along a path or in a border?
The Plim 1 stands approximately 65cm tall on a slim 9cm diameter base, so it fits neatly into a narrow border or along the edge of a path without needing much room.
