Why We Love Outdoor Chandeliers

Outdoor living areas go from gauche to gracefully gorgeous with these damp-rated and wet-rated chandeliers. Ranging in style from craftsman to soft contemporary and modern, these outdoor chandeliers for gazebos recreate the warmth and comfort of the indoor dining room or the living room for outdoor evening enjoyment.
Where Modern Outdoor Chandeliers Work Best
Create a warming glow by hanging an outdoor chandelier in a covered patio or porch, attracting friends and family to the outdoor living area at the flip of a switch. Outdoor chandelier lighting is mounted in a similar manner as that of a pendant or flush mount, however, due to their typically larger size, these chandeliers require a little more room. You can also hang a chandelier fixture from the center of a covered gazebo for a fairy-like ambiance in the middle of the garden. Lighting for outdoor living areas doesn't need to be restricted to the outdoors, however, with many of these types of damp-rated chandeliers working well in the master bathroom as well. Whatever type of chandelier you need for your porch, deck, patio or outdoor living space, you are sure to find it in this assortment.

How to Choose the Best Outdoor Chandelier
There are a multitude of steps to choosing the ideal chandelier, be it for the porch, patio or gazebo. And because any of these modern chandeliers are a considered purchase, you'll want to carefully review these steps before making your selection.
- First, identify the location where you plan to install a new chandelier. Do you need a light for the front porch? What about the back deck or patio? Or do you have space under a covered gazebo you would like to illuminate? Consider where you spend most of your time outside so you can find an option that fits your needs.
- Next, determine the exact size you need. Be mindful of common dimensions like height, width, weight and hanging length. Fully understanding the sizes you can work with will go a long way in finding the best outdoor chandelier.
- The third step in the process is all about you -- what is the aesthetic you are trying to meet for your outdoor living area? Consider other implements in the area including furniture, planter boxes, landscape lighting, etc. Colors and finishes play a vital role in this step as well. Do you want a chandelier to blend in with its surroundings or stand out with a pop of color? With so many options to choose from in this assortment, you're bound to find just the right look.
- Lastly, review the UL rating of the fixture you're interested in. You (or your electrician) will need to know if the fixture is UL rated for damp or wet locations like porches, patios and gazebos.
PRO TIP: What is a Damp / Wet-Rated Chandelier?
Outdoor chandelier lighting is either classified as damp rated or wet rated in its UL rating. This means the fixture is safe for use in situations where water is present. If it is a damp rated chandelier, it's safe to be used throughout the year and can be exposed to rain, snow and other types of weather. However, you need to be careful that it isn't constantly exposed to the elements. If it is wet-rated, it is 100% safe to be exposed to water. You're even welcome to clean it off with your garden hose! Take a look at our guide on interpreting UL Listings for more information.

Other Considerations
Similar in style and function as these chandeliers is the assortment of outdoor pendant lighting. Outdoor hanging lights and suspensions are ideal for the front porch, providing a well-lit welcome to your guests immediately upon arrival. Or for something less permanent, take a look at the tiki torches available for a number of ambient outdoor lighting options with convenient portability. And instead of a chandelier, you may want to consider adding an outdoor ceiling fan with lights to your patio or gazebo to provide illumination while also facilitating a cool breeze during the summer.
Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Chandeliers
Can you put a regular chandelier outside?
No, regular chandeliers are not designed for outdoor use and may be damaged by weather conditions. Outdoor chandeliers are specially crafted with materials and finishes that are durable against moisture, temperature fluctuations, and other outdoor elements. It's important to choose chandeliers that are specifically rated as damp or wet for outdoor environments.
How long should an outdoor chandelier hang?
The hanging length of an outdoor chandelier should be determined by the ceiling height of the outdoor space and the purpose of the light. Typically, chandeliers should hang at least 7 feet off the ground to ensure ample clearance. For outdoor dining or seating areas, adjust the height to accommodate visibility and lighting needs, considering the size and scale of the space.
What type of outdoor chandelier is the best?
The best type of outdoor chandelier depends on the specific needs of the space and the desired aesthetic. For areas exposed to more direct weather conditions, a wet-rated chandelier is essential for safety and longevity. For covered patios or gazebos, damp-rated options can be suitable. Style-wise, choices range from traditional to contemporary, with energy-efficient LED options being practical for conserving energy and reducing power bills.
Can outdoor chandeliers get wet?
Wet-rated outdoor chandeliers are designed to withstand direct exposure to water and can safely get wet. They can be cleaned with a garden hose and are suitable for open or semi-exposed outdoor areas. Damp-rated chandeliers can handle moisture and indirect exposure but should not be directly soaked with water.
What wattage should an outdoor chandelier be?
The wattage for an outdoor chandelier should align with the lighting needs of the space, considering both ambiance and functionality. For general illumination, LED chandeliers with lower wattages (equivalent to 60-75 watts in traditional bulbs) are often sufficient and more energy-efficient. The overall brightness is better measured in lumens; for outdoor settings, look for options that offer adjustable brightness to create the desired atmosphere. Always consult the chandelier's specifications for maximum wattage to ensure compatibility and safety.
