Outdoor Hanging Lights

Outdoor hanging lights help create an elegant, hip, or down-home feel to any entrance. They add style without being overpowering, and instantly draw the eye, lending a welcoming atmosphere to your home or business.

Types of Outdoor Hanging Lights
There are many different types of outdoor hanging lights to choose from. Pendant lights (sometimes called "drop lights" or "drop suspenders") are lone fixtures suspended from the ceiling by a chain or a pipe. These add a solitary, simple ambience to an entrance that is not overwhelming. If more light is needed, it is common to use pendant lights in multiples, which makes them versatile.

Outdoor chandeliers are fixtures with two or more arms bearing lights. Chandeliers add a bit more elegance and sophistication to an entryway than lone pendants and create a more grandiose look. Candle chandeliers, using either real or electric candles, have more of a traditional, old world appeal. The word "chandelier" actually means "candle holder," as that was a chandelier's first intended purpose.

Hanging lanterns are just that - lantern-like fixtures affixed to a rope or chain suspended from the ceiling. These fixtures create a homey, woodsy charm.

Finishes
Outdoor lights are available in various finishes, running the gamut between brass and brushed nickel, leaving countless options for you to choose from. It doesn't matter if you have an old Victorian home or a trendy city restaurant, you'll be able to find an outdoor hanging fixture with the perfect accenting finish.
