The choice of colour temperature is then made on the bulb: around 2700 to 3000 K for a warm light in an entryway, towards 4000 K for a workshop where you want to see clearly.

The Hublotia ceiling light is rated for 40 W. As the ribbed glass leaves the bulb visible, a simple shape and a model whose light suits you make the result cleaner.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What warranty covers these porthole lights?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The porthole lights in this collection are guaranteed for 2 years. If you have a question before or after purchase, the Designix customer service remains available. Payment is secure, delivery is tracked and returns are provided, which allows you to check the oval format and grey finish once the parcel arrives.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How many porthole lights should you plan for a hallway or workshop?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It all depends on the length to cover: a long hallway requires several distributed light points, a workshop is often satisfied with one ceiling light above the workbench. As the collection mounts on the ceiling at 8 cm in height, you can align several without hindering movement.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do you clean a glass and metal porthole light?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A soft, slightly damp cloth is enough on the ribbed glass and grey metal. Avoid abrasive sponges and aggressive products, which scratch the glass and dull the finish. Switch off the circuit before any work and let the fixture cool if the bulb has just been on.\"}}]}]}\u003c\/script\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"plafonnier-en-verre-ovale-metal-gris-et-verre-strie-industriel-hublotia","title":"Industrial bulkhead grey ceiling light, metal \u0026 ribbed glass 21 cm | Lisanne","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Lisanne \u003cstrong\u003egrey ceiling light\u003c\/strong\u003e reinterprets the nautical porthole with an industrial spirit: a concrete-grey metal frame with a whitewashed patina and frosted ribbed glass that diffuses soft light.
