Outside Pendant Lights
Lighting comfort on covered terraces & co.
One of the most popular lights in the living room also cuts a fine figure outdoors: the pendant light. On the covered terrace, on the wooden pavilion or on the canopy of the front door, the sometimes modern, sometimes classic outdoor pendant lamp is a real eye-catcher!
Which pendant lights for outdoors are popular today?
Stylish statements for the garden: these are the outdoor pendant lights of today! In addition to rustic pendant lamps in antique style, minimalist light sources, hand-blown glass works of art and trendy industrial models in cage design enrich the selection.
And the outdoor pendant light is also predestined as a designer light! Because it is a real exhibit. World-famous brands such as Artemide, Karman and Masiero enrich the market with exquisite designer pieces. And companies like Fatboy bring a modern freshness to the range with light, playful models.
How do I install an outdoor pendant lamp?
Outdoor pendant luminaires are generally installed in covered outdoor areas, e.g. on the patio or under the canopy.
Due to the variety of outdoor pendant lights, there is unfortunately no general answer to the question of installation. However, all products are supplied with installation instructions, which you can give to the electrician.
Are there outdoor pendant lights with rechargeable batteries?
A power connection for a pendant light outside is not always available. If you still want to enjoy the convenience of such an outdoor highlight, opt for pendant lights with rechargeable battery. The battery of many Fatboy outdoor lights, for example, is charged via USB.
What protection rating does my outdoor pendant light need?
Despite being covered, the outdoor hanging lamp is exposed to a wide range of weather conditions. This is why pendant luminaires for outdoor use have a higher IP protection rating (Ingress Protection). The first digit indicates protection against foreign bodies, the second protection against moisture.
