Multicolor pendant light

A colourful pendant light brings together several shades on a single suspended fitting: grey, white, beige and green depending on the model. Indoors, go for a G9 socket such as the Xali; outdoors, choose an IP65 model such as the Nido or the Diva. Materials range from metal to wood, aluminium, acrylic, plastic and rope.

What is a colourful pendant light?

A colourful pendant light is a suspended fitting that combines several shades on one piece: grey, white, beige or green. It comes in metal, wood, aluminium, acrylic, plastic or rope, with a G9 socket or an integrated LED. It dresses a kitchen, a dining room, a living room or a terrace, and the whole selection carries a two-year warranty.

Colourful or multi-coloured pendant light: what is the difference?

Colourful describes a fitting with one dominant shade, a single colour declined. Multi-coloured means several shades brought together on the same piece: grey and white on the Xali, white and beige on the Diva. The word therefore describes the fitting, not the mood of the room. For a bold single colour, look instead at the metal pendants or the dark finish models.

Multi-bulb pendant light: how does it work?

Two families coexist. The G9 socket takes a bulb you choose, which leaves the light shade up to you. The integrated LED arrives complete, with no bulb to add; that is the case for the LED pendants. In both cases, the fitting is fixed to the ceiling and the height is adjusted by the cable. The choice comes down to whether you want to tune the light or simply install it.

Colourful pendant light: integrated LED or G9 socket?

The colourful pendants in the collection light in two ways: an integrated LED, or a G9 socket where you choose the bulb. The Xali uses G9, the Nido and the Diva an integrated LED. Then check the protection rating, because that decides which room the fitting can live in.

Multi-lamp pendant: which light for which room?

A G9 socket suits you when you want to adjust the light to the use: warmer for a dinner, more neutral for cooking. The integrated LED simplifies things, you install it and it is done. In general, ambient light sits around 2700 K and task light around 4000 K. These markers help choose the bulb of a socket model, not the light of an integrated LED model, which is fixed at the factory.

Multi-globe pendant: what are we talking about?

The ball shape means a sphere set at the end of the pendant. In the collection, it is carried by the Diva, a ball extended by an adjustable cord, in plastic and rope, designed for outdoor use. This reference is described with a single ball: do not credit it with a number of globes that is not stated. To compare round silhouettes, browse the ball pendants.

Which colourful pendant light for each room?

For a living space, a colourful pendant light goes above the table or an island, with a G9 socket indoors. For the bedroom, compact formats and low lines work better; the bedroom pendants give the measure. Outdoors, you need an IP65 model such as the Nido or the Diva.

Kitchen pendant: which model above the worktop?

Above a worktop or an island, the pendant lights the preparation area. The Xali suits a kitchen: 20 x 77 x 5 cm, a long slim disc in metal, wood, aluminium and acrylic, with a G9 socket and an IP20. Its low line lights the worktop without blocking the view. Other formats are gathered in the kitchen pendants.

Dining room fitting: which pendant above the table?

Above a table, you look for a fitting longer than it is tall, centred on the top. The Xali measures 77 cm long for 5 cm thick, which covers the length of a table without hanging too low. Its grey, white and green shades stay understated on a light tablecloth. See also the dining room pendants.

Original pendant light: shapes, materials and styles

An original pendant light is recognised by its shape: wide disc, ball or asymmetric silhouette. Here, the Xali plays the disc in metal, wood, aluminium and acrylic, the Nido an original outdoor shape, the Diva a ball extended by a cord. Styles range from contemporary to Nordic, via industrial and modern.

Original living room fitting: round, ball or original shape?

For a living room, the wide format fills the space above a sofa or a coffee table. The Xali pendant and its G9 socket mixes four materials and a 77 cm line, with an industrial look softened by wood. If you prefer spheres, the Diva offers a more compact ball, but it is designed for outdoor use.

Original fittings: which materials and which styles?

The materials in the collection are metal, wood, aluminium, acrylic, plastic and rope. Metal gives a clean contemporary line, wood warms, acrylic diffuses, rope dresses the outdoors. In terms of style, contemporary dominates, followed by modern, industrial and Nordic. See the wood models and the designer pendant light selection.

Outdoor pendant light: IP20 or IP65?

The protection rating indicates where to place the pendant: IP20 for indoors, sheltered from water splashes, IP65 for outdoors, exposed to rain. The Nido and Diva pendants are IP65, the Xali is IP20. An indoor model installed outside will not withstand the weather, even under an awning.

IP20 or IP65: where to place each pendant?

An IP20 stays in a dry area: living room, bedroom, kitchen, dining room. An IP65 withstands water splashes and rain, so a terrace, an entrance, a balcony or a garden. The Nido, IP65 outdoor version, is in plastic and wood; the Diva in plastic and rope. Both go outside, the Xali does not.

Outdoor pendant light: what the protection changes

The rating changes the lifespan of the fitting, not just the safety. An IP65 keeps its electronics and its finishes despite humidity and temperature swings. An IP20 placed outside oxidises and fills with water. It is the first criterion to check for a terrace. For indoors, browse the classic pendant lights.

Which protection rating for which installation

How to install and maintain a colourful pendant light?

A pendant is fixed to the ceiling on a solid anchor point, then adjusted in height by the cable or by the cord. Dust wood and acrylic with a soft cloth, without abrasive product. For an outdoor model, check the fixings and the general condition after the rainy season.

Making a pendant light: what do you need to plan for?

Making one yourself requires an electrical cable, a socket and a fixing suited to the weight of the fitting. A simpler solution is to start from a ready-to-install model: the Xali arrives with its G9 socket, the Diva and the Nido with an integrated LED. The ceiling fixing must hold the load, and the connection is made with the power off.

How to maintain a pendant in wood, plastic or acrylic?

Wood is dusted dry, without standing water. Plastic and acrylic are cleaned with a soft slightly damp cloth. Metal and aluminium need only a microfibre. The rope of the Diva is brushed dry. An IP65 model is rinsed with a sponge after the bad season, once the power is off.

Lighting store Lyon and clearance: what to check

For a lighting store in Lyon, compare the references seen online before travelling. In clearance, check the actual availability, the protection rating and the socket. At Designix, the collection is available with secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and customer service.

Lighting store Lyon: what to check before travelling?

Note the exact reference, the material, the socket and the IP before going to the store. An IP20 model will never replace an IP65 outdoors. Also check the dimension: the Xali is 77 cm long, the Diva 24 cm, which changes the effect on the ceiling. Calling ahead avoids an unnecessary trip, and the selection of affordable models helps frame the budget.

Lighting clearance Lyon: the checkpoints

In lighting clearance in Lyon, check the packaging, the condition of the finishes, the presence of the fixings and the compatibility of the socket with your bulbs. Ask for the warranty: the pieces in the selection are covered for two years. A fitting without screws or instructions will bring you back. Better to compare online, where each listing states material, socket and IP; the lighting catalogue lets you do it reference by reference.

How to match a colourful pendant light to the decor?

A colourful pendant light is enough on its own: keep the rest of the room understated, in white, light wood or grey. Pick up just one of the shades of the fitting on a cushion or a rug. Grey, white, beige and green finishes match neutral walls, and a white pendant remains the easiest choice in a light interior.

Stay consistent with materials: wood with wood, metal with metal, rope with natural fibres. For a living room, compare the volumes in the living room pendants before fixing the height. All the pieces in the collection carry a two-year warranty, with secure payment, tracked delivery, returns and Designix customer service.
