Paired with energy-saving LED bulbs, any of the fixtures above can add to your outdoor vision without burning a hole in your budget. Choose from various options along with an even greater collection of various outdoor lighting options to add to an existing setup or lay the foundation for an entirely new system.
You can easily install outdoor pendant lights with the right lighting tools, including drills, screwdrivers, gloves, and protective eyewear. Before installing, ensure that you accurately measure the base dimensions to prevent drilling unnecessary holes in your ceiling. Make sure to turn off the electrical power as well to reduce the chances of electrical shock during the installation process.
LED bulbs are a great option for your exterior hanging lights. Most LEDs have a lifespan in the tens of thousands of hours, making them a great choice for long-term use. These bulbs are also energy efficient, which allows you to save money on monthly utility costs without compromising your illumination needs. Because of the low wattage requirements, these bulbs don’t run hot as well, making them easy to maintain or repair during your regular checkups throughout the year.
Traditionally, chandeliers incorporate multiple, smaller bulbs to diffuse light across large spaces, whereas outdoor hanging lights and pendants have a single bulb that focuses light in a smaller area. For outdoor spaces like porches and patios, pendant lights are the preferred choice because of their focused lighting. Chandeliers are better suited for larger rooms where the diffused light helps amplify the space.
A general rule of thumb is to hang the fixtures between 12 to 20 inches from a standard 8-foot ceiling. For every foot after that, add another 3 inches to the hanging length. This rule ensures that the area right below the pendant still receives adequate lighting without being an eyesore or obstruction for passersby.
In addition to a timeless look, brass also serves as a protective layer for your fixtures over time. Brass fixtures are a great option in areas with high humidity or for homes on the coast, as they can easily protect against moisture and other natural elements, ensuring that your fixtures look as good as the first time they came out of the box.
When buying outdoor pendant lights, it’s important to ensure the fixtures are wet- or damp-rated, which makes them less susceptible to water damage. Of the two classifications, wet-rated fixtures provide more water resistance, especially if the fixture has direct exposure to water for longer periods of time. You can also opt for marine-rated fixtures, but these are better suited for coastal spaces that have plenty of exposure to saltwater.
