Different outdoor areas require different types of lighting. Choosing the right fitting not only improves safety but also creates a more welcoming and functional outdoor space.

Patio & Alfresco Lighting
For covered outdoor entertaining areas, outdoor pendant lights create a warm, inviting atmosphere that works beautifully over dining tables, outdoor kitchens and seating areas. Browse our range of outdoor chain pendants and outdoor rod pendants to complete your alfresco space.

Choosing the Right Outdoor Light
When selecting outdoor lighting, consider where the fitting will be installed, how much light is required and the style of your home. Wall lights work well beside entrances and garages, pendant lights suit covered entertaining areas, while post and pillar lights are ideal for defining driveways, pathways and front boundaries.
It's also important to choose an outdoor light with an appropriate IP rating. Every outdoor light sold by Restoration Online is IP rated for outdoor use, with the specific rating clearly shown on each product page. Covered outdoor areas typically require a different level of weather protection than lights installed in fully exposed locations, so we recommend checking the product specifications and consulting your electrician if you're unsure.
