Marine portholes take this closed shape, with a metal frame and glass. The same word refers to the fuselage window in aviation and the dial opening on watch portholes, but in lighting it is the oval shape of the ceiling fixture that remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a boat porthole and a ceiling porthole?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA boat porthole is a through opening: it lets in daylight and air. A ceiling porthole is a closed fixture, mounted on the ceiling, that produces its own light with an E27 bulb.

The ribbed glass softens the effect: a warm light, around 2700 K, gives soft ambient lighting for circulation, while a whiter light, around 4000 K, makes details sharper on a workbench. The bulb can be chosen and replaced freely, which is the advantage of the socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does IP20 mean on a ceiling light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IP20 rating protects against finger contact and medium-sized solid objects. The second digit, zero, means no protection against water. This ceiling light is therefore installed in a dry room, away from a shower, a leak or splashes.
