Satin Nickel Bathroom Ceiling Light – Saxby Portico 12421
Bring a refined finishing touch to your bathroom with the Saxby Portico Satin Nickel Bathroom Ceiling Light. Its smooth satin nickel surround and frosted glass diffuser create a clean, understated appearance that works beautifully with contemporary bathroom interiors.

Subtle Satin Nickel Finish for Modern Bathrooms
Unlike highly polished chrome, satin nickel offers a softer metallic appearance. This makes the Portico particularly suitable for bathrooms featuring brushed-style taps, shower fittings or understated contemporary accessories.
The frosted glass diffuser helps soften the appearance of the bulb and distribute light around the room, while the circular design creates a neat, balanced look on the ceiling.
Ideal for Bathrooms with Lower Ceilings
The Portico sits close to the ceiling, with an overall projection of only 85mm. Its compact profile makes it well suited to smaller bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms where space is limited.
With a diameter of 300mm, the fitting provides an attractive ceiling feature without dominating the room.
Choose Your Preferred E27 LED Bulb
The Saxby Portico Satin Nickel Bathroom Ceiling Light uses one replaceable E27 Edison Screw LED GLS bulb, rated at a maximum of 15W. As the bulb is purchased separately, you can choose a suitable lamp to achieve your preferred lighting effect.
- Warm White (2700K–3000K) – creates a cosy, relaxing atmosphere.
- Cool White (4000K) – offers balanced white lighting for everyday bathroom use.
- Daylight White (6500K) – provides crisp, bright-looking illumination.
The fitting also supports dimming when used with a compatible dimmable E27 LED bulb and suitable LED dimmer switch.
Please note: One E27 LED bulb is required and is not included with the fitting. Maximum permitted wattage is 15W LED.

Its Class I construction requires a protective earth connection. Installation must comply with applicable UK electrical regulations.
