Description
The Portocolom is a ten light pendant built as a cluster. A round steel ceiling plate in a brass and gold finish drops ten black cords, and each cord ends in a slim gold ring holding a white globe of matt opal glass. The rings come in varying sizes and hang at staggered heights, so the globes fall in a loose cascade rather than a tidy line. It measures 58cm in diameter and 150cm high overall. Each globe has its own integrated LED of 3W, giving 350lm per light at 3000K, a warm light. It is rated IP20, which settles where it goes: indoors, in a dry room.
With that 150cm height, this pendant suits a room with ceiling height to spare: a stairwell, a double-height hallway or a tall dining room, where the globes can fill the space without crowding anyone. Hung over a dining table, it gives a soft glow, because opal glass diffuses light and keeps you from looking straight into a bright point. The brass and gold sits well with warm woods, pale walls and dark paint, while the black cords draw crisp lines between the plate and the rings. It is a good choice for anyone who wants one light to carry a whole room.
The body is steel, and the brass and gold finish on the rings has a softly textured, gilded look that catches the light. Because the LEDs are integrated, there are no bulbs to buy or change. The light is dimmable, so it can sink low for a late supper. There is no switch on the pendant itself: it is switched at the wall, and it runs on 220-240V, 50/60Hz mains. As a wired-in mains light, it is installed by a qualified electrician, and the installation instructions are available as a download. The packed weight is 9.8KG, so a second pair of hands makes unpacking easier.

Frequently Asked
Can this pendant go in a bathroom?
No. It is rated IP20, which means it is made for dry indoor rooms such as a dining room, hallway or stairwell, never a bathroom or anywhere outdoors.
How big is the Portocolom pendant?
It measures 58cm in diameter and 150cm high overall, so it is best in a room with generous ceiling height, such as a stairwell or tall dining room.
What colour is the light?
Each of the ten integrated LEDs gives 350lm at 3000K, a warm light that feels relaxed and welcoming in a dining room or hallway.
Is the pendant dimmable?
Yes, the light is dimmable. There is no switch on the pendant itself, so it is switched at the wall.
Does it need bulbs?
No bulbs are needed, because the LEDs are integrated: ten lights of 3W each, built into the pendant from the start.
What material is the shade?
Each shade is a white globe of matt opal glass, which softens the light, held in a gold ring on a steel body finished in brass and gold.
