The Dar Santino SAN5301 is a three-light semi-flush ceiling light combining an antique bronze finish with a natural linen drum shade. Its understated design brings together classic detailing and natural fabric, making it suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Measuring 50 cm in diameter and 21 cm in height, the fitting provides a practical alternative to a hanging pendant in rooms with lower ceilings. Three E27 lampholders provide flexible lighting options, including energy-efficient LED bulbs. The linen shade helps soften the appearance of the light, making the Santino particularly suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas and hallways. With its warm bronze detailing and neutral shade, it can complement timber furniture, natural materials and a wide range of interior colour schemes.
The Santino features a wide cylindrical drum shade made from natural linen, supported by a metal fitting in an antique bronze finish. The combination of warm bronze tones and textured natural fabric creates a restrained decorative appearance that works well with both classic furnishings and contemporary neutral interiors.
Its 50 cm diameter gives the shade a noticeable presence without the extended drop of a pendant light. The shade measures 13 cm high, while the complete fitting has an overall height of 21 cm.
The natural linen shade is included, providing a coordinated finish without the need to purchase a separate shade.
Three E27 Edison screw lampholders are positioned within the Santino's drum shade, providing illumination from multiple light sources. The natural linen fabric helps soften light passing through the sides of the shade, reducing the exposed-bulb appearance associated with open ceiling fittings.
The fitting accepts three replaceable E27 bulbs, each with a traditional maximum rating of 60W. LED bulbs can also be used, with a recommended wattage of up to 8W LED per bulb. Bulbs are not included, so the light output and colour temperature can be selected to suit the room.
For living rooms and bedrooms, warm white bulbs can help create a more relaxed appearance. Neutral white bulbs may be preferred where a clearer, more functional light is needed.
The Santino is compatible with dimmable E27 bulbs when paired with a suitable dimmer switch. The bulbs and dimmer switch need to be matched to each other for dimming to work properly.
Its fixed semi-flush construction keeps the overall height to 21 cm, making it a useful option where a longer suspended fitting would be unsuitable.
