We have a huge range of outdoor hanging lights to illuminate your porch and garden areas. Choose from our extensive variety of lighting such as our period style hanging lanterns or our more modern minimalist pendant lights. At Outdoor and Garden Lighting, we have a style for every home!
Outdoor Pendant Lighting Styles
Like their indoor counterparts, outdoor ceiling lights come in a variety modern and traditional styles to suit your home’s aesthetic. The style of lighting you choose will also provide a different type of illumination. For example, a porch ceiling light with a shade will perfectly brighten your home’s entrances. A hanging garden lantern, on the other hand, would provide a softer ambient light to illuminate a larger area.
Modern Designs
Our collection of modern outside hanging lights are sleek and stylish redesigns of the older outdoor lanterns. Our modern style lights come in a range of contemporary finishes including black, white and grey. Featuring cleaner lines and less ornate features, our modern porch pendant lights are designed with a strong Norwegian influence in mind.
Outdoor Hanging Lanterns
If you’re looking to add a classic style pendant light to enhance the period features of your property, we have a large range of traditional hanging lantern lights to choose from. Lantern pendant lights, much like wall lanterns, are a perfect fit underneath a porch to illuminate a doorway and underline the period aesthetics of older buildings. Despite having a classic finish and appearance, our hanging lanterns are built using modern technology, meaning they are able to use energy-efficient LED bulbs and are resistant to the elements.
Weather Resistant Hanging Lights
All of our exterior pendant lights, as well as the rest of our outdoor lighting collections, are weather-resistant and have an IP rating. The IP rating, or the “Ingress Protection” rating, is a measure of how well the item is protected against water and dust particles which could damage it. The minimum IP rating for outdoor lighting is IP 44, which means that the light is able to withstand water splashed from all directions and larger solid objects.
If the pendant light is hanging beneath a roof or porch, the light fixture is less likely to be rained on, so a higher IP rating is not as necessary.
Coastal Corrosion Protection
If you live in close proximity to the coast, seawater and salty spray is will corrode materials over time. Stainless steel is much more resistant to the salt, so our stainless steel outdoor pendant light is a good choice if you’re close to the coast.
Hanging Outdoor Lights
Exterior hanging lights are usually fixed underneath a porch or a canopy. Unless you are competent with mains wiring, we recommend consulting a registered electrician to install your outdoor lighting.
In the case of outdoor hanging lights, firstly you must ensure the overhead structure can support the weight of the light. The light will come with a set of fittings and instructions on how to hang the light.
