Rechargeable pendant lights

A rechargeable hanging light attaches to the ceiling or a bracket without any electrical connection: a built-in battery powers the LED, and the fixture recharges when the battery runs low. Every piece in this selection is rated IP54 or IP65, guaranteed for 2 years, and designed for the patio, kitchen, dining room or living room.

What is a rechargeable hanging light and where should you install it?

A rechargeable hanging light is a cordless LED fixture powered by a built-in battery: it attaches to the ceiling or a bracket with no electrical connection at the mounting point. The models in this collection are rated IP54 or IP65 and suit the patio, kitchen, dining room or living room.

Rechargeable hanging lights: a cordless fixture where there is no power

No conduit to run, no light point to create: that is what sets this rechargeable LED fixture apart from a standard pendant. On a patio with no power supply, under a pergola or in a conservatory, the mount alone is enough. The whole selection runs on an LED bulb, and you will find other options in the Designix lighting range when the room already has a power supply.

Rechargeable outdoor hanging lights: patio, balcony and conservatory

The thirteen models cover outdoor use, the patio and the kitchen, most also the living room and dining room, and some the bedroom, balcony or bathroom. That versatility comes from the weave, rope, rattan or bamboo, which withstands humid air. To compare silhouettes, browse the designer LED pendants in the catalogue.

Which rechargeable hanging light should you choose for outdoors?

For outdoor use, look first at the protection rating: most models in the collection are IP54, and some are IP65 such as Nido and Diva, more resistant to water spray. Woven materials, rope, rattan and bamboo, then dress the patio, balcony and garden.

Rechargeable outdoor hanging lights: IP54 or IP65?

IP54 protects against dust and water spray: that is the level of most pieces, including the Aritorora, the woven rattan oval, the Rino and its woven dome or the Zia in bamboo. IP65 goes further against spray, with the Nido pendant in IP65 and the ball-shaped Diva. On a very exposed patio, that second level is the right reflex.

Which hanging light for a covered patio?

Under an awning, IP54 is enough in most cases, and it opens up more styles: the wood pendants for the living room or the grey pendants blend into a dark structure. Rope and wood weave dominates the selection, which gives a warm, filtered light with no direct glare above a table.

Which size of rechargeable hanging light for each room?

Size is chosen according to the surface to be lit: large diameters, from 40 to 49 cm, cover a table or a worktop, while small formats, from 17 to 24 cm, suit corners and small rooms. Since there is no cable, only the mount limits where it can go.

How do you mount a rechargeable hanging light with no ceiling socket?

First measure the width of the surface to be lit, then compare it with the diameter of the fixture: a large format above a narrow table takes up the whole view. Then check the clear height between the mount and where people pass. For a kitchen, the LED pendants for the kitchen gather the formats suited to hanging above an island.

Which rechargeable hanging light for a small room?

Under 24 cm, the fixture lights a zone, not a whole room: that is the right size for a reading corner, a hallway or a bedside. Above a worktop or a large table, aim instead for 35 to 49 cm. The wood pendants for the kitchen give an idea of the intermediate volumes.

How do you choose between the styles of rechargeable hanging lights?

The collection is mostly boho, with contemporary and Japanese pieces. Silhouettes range from dome to ball, via round, oval and original shapes, and it is the woven materials, rope, rattan, bamboo or textile cord, that give the look. Choose the mood before the size.

Boho rechargeable hanging lights: rattan, rope and textile cord

The dome and the cone dominate this register, with Testorena and its conical silhouette or Eda in beige woven rope. The weave filters the light and casts soft shadows on the walls, which warms a patio or a dining room. Conversely, for a more understated mood, look at the Nordic style.

Contemporary rechargeable hanging lights: ball and original shape

The ball and the free form bring a clean line that contrasts with natural fibres. These are often the most compact models, so the easiest to fit above a small surface. The modern LED pendants complete the comparison if you are hesitating between weave and smooth volume.

How is a rechargeable hanging light charged and maintained?

These pendants run on a battery: they recharge without staying connected to the mains. The connector and cable depend on the manufacturer, to be checked on the model's page before ordering, keeping in mind access to the battery once the fixture is hung high up.

USB rechargeable hanging lights: what to check

Three points to check on the product page: the type of connector, whether the cable is included in the box and the position of the port on the fixture. A port placed under the diffuser can be reached standing up; a port at the top of the body means taking the piece down. Battery life and charging time vary by model and are given on their respective pages.

Looking after a rope, rattan or bamboo pendant

A soft, dry cloth is enough to dust the weave; avoid abrasive products and immersion. Outdoors, IP54 or IP65 limits the effects of spray, without replacing regular cleaning. Wood and rope dislike standing moisture: let the piece air-dry after heavy rain on an uncovered patio.

Rechargeable hanging lights: what budget and which options?

The collection runs from accessible models to more elaborate pieces, with the grid showing the current price of each reference. All the pendants are LED and guaranteed for 2 years, and some models accept a dimmer, which lets you adjust the intensity between a dinner and a simple night light.

Dimmable rechargeable hanging lights: what is the point?

On a patio, lowering the intensity late in the evening avoids the spotlight effect and extends battery life between charges. The dimmer only applies to part of the selection, including the Aritorora and the Cordella: the dimmable pendants gather the models concerned. On the other references, the lighting works with no adjustment.

What the 2-year guarantee covers

The two-year guarantee applies to the whole selection, provided by the manufacturer. It covers the fixture and how it works, not the normal wear of the weave or damage linked to prolonged exposure outside the stated conditions. Keep the invoice for any claim.

No style decision holds without the size: choose the diameter suited to your table first, then the mood. Browse the white shades for the kitchen if you are after a tone that brightens, and all our lighting if your room already has a power supply.

How do you match a rechargeable hanging light with the decor?

Start from the colours of the room: beige dominates the collection and pairs with woodwork as well as light walls, while white brightens a dark space and grey and taupe match facades and patio furniture. The weave brings the texture that is often missing.

Beige, white or grey rechargeable hanging lights: which colour to choose?

Beige is the most represented tone, followed by white and grey. On a stone or concrete facade, a woven beige softens the line, while a grey stays discreet. In a dark hallway, try the white shades or the hallway pendants in a small format.

Combining several rechargeable hanging lights in the same room

Line up two or three identical pieces over a long table, or mix diameters while keeping the same family of material: rope with rope, rattan with rattan. One large piece in the centre and two smaller ones on the sides works well above an island. For a bedroom, the wood models for the bedroom carry the arrangement without weighing it down.
