Where to Use Pendant Lights Outdoors

Outdoor pendants are often best suited for use in areas where you want a blend of functional and decorative lighting overhead.

Hanging pendants in particular can be used for entrances or porches. They help to create a welcoming first impression while also lighting walkways safely at night.

They can also work well in covered outdoor dining areas, allowing you to define your space with an inviting atmosphere. Pergolas and verandas are also ideal locations, especially when combined with other types of garden lights for a layered lighting scheme.

Which Materials are Best Suited for Outdoor Pendants?

Special considerations need to be taken into account for outdoor lighting. Above all else, they need to be able to withstand moisture, temperature changes, and general exposure to the elements. This is where material choice plays an important role.

Many of our outdoor pendants are made from durable metals such as aluminium, stainless steel, or powder-coated steel. These materials help resist corrosion and maintain the fixture's appearance over time.

Glass is also commonly used, particularly clear or seeded glass. It protects the bulb while still allowing plenty of light to shine through.

Do Outdoor Pendant Lights Need to be Covered?

Many outdoor pendant lights are designed for use in sheltered areas. While they are built to handle outdoor conditions, most should be installed under cover, such as a porch, pergola, or canopy, to protect them from direct rain exposure.

What IP Rating do I Need for Outdoor Pendant Lighting?

For outdoor lights, an IP rating of at least IP44 is commonly recommended for sheltered areas. You may require a higher rating if the fitting will be exposed to more direct weather conditions. Always check our product specifications before installation.

Can Outdoor Pendant Lights be Used Indoors as well?

Some of our outdoor pendant lights can also be used indoors if you like the style. However, they are often designed with stronger materials and finishes, so they tend to work particularly well in spaces like kitchens or interiors designed with an industrial style.

How High Should Outdoor Pendant Lights Hang?

The height depends on the space, but outdoor pendants are typically hung high enough to avoid obstruction, especially in dining or seating areas. A common approach is to ensure there is ample head clearance while still allowing the light to feel visually connected to the space.

How do I Install Outdoor Pendants Safely?

Outdoor pendant lighting should always be installed with safety and weather protection in mind. The fitting needs to be suitable for outdoor use, with an appropriate IP rating so the electrical components are adequately protected from dust and moisture.

If the light requires hardwiring into your home's electrical system, then we recommend using a qualified electrician. This will ensure the wiring, connections, and placement are safe and compliant.
