Stylish Lighting for Your Bathroom
The Portico combines a chrome surround with a frosted glass shade, creating a timeless appearance that works beautifully alongside chrome bathroom taps, showers and accessories.
Its close-to-ceiling design makes it particularly suitable for bathrooms where a hanging pendant light would be impractical. The frosted glass helps soften the appearance of the bulb while distributing light around the room.
Choose Your Preferred E27 LED Bulb
Unlike fittings with permanently integrated LEDs, the Saxby Portico uses a replaceable E27 Edison Screw LED bulb. This gives you the freedom to choose the brightness and light colour that best suits your bathroom.
- Warm White (2700K–3000K) – creates a soft, relaxing atmosphere.
- Cool White (4000K) – provides balanced lighting for everyday bathroom activities.
- Daylight White (6500K) – delivers crisp, bright-looking illumination.
The fitting requires one E27 LED GLS bulb with a maximum wattage of 15W. The bulb is not included and must be purchased separately.
