Constant exposure to humidity, salty air, wind and intense solar radiation makes coastal areas one of the most demanding settings for outdoor lighting. With this in mind, Faro Barcelona has introduced a new editorial catalogue focused on a curated selection of “seaside suitable” luminaires and ceiling fans engineered to deliver long-term performance in marine environments.
The catalogue brings together a wide range of outdoor solutions, including wall lights, bollards, floodlights, recessed fixtures, surface-mounted luminaires and ceiling fans. A selection created for architects, lighting designers and landscape professionals looking to fully equip exterior projects with products ready to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
All featured models have been tested according to criteria that meet or exceed European standards such as EN 60598 for lighting fixtures, as well as high IP ratings for water and dust protection. Many products also pass salt spray tests under ISO 9227 standards, achieving resistance equivalent to more than 1,000 hours of exposure without significant deterioration.
The collection incorporates materials and finishes specifically developed for prolonged exposure to marine conditions, including engineering plastics, technical resins and specially treated metals with anti-corrosion coatings. In this context, durability, reduced maintenance and environmental adaptation become an essential part of the design approach.
