Description

The Carson is a 254mm outdoor pendant light built around overlapping metal ribbons in a vintage iron finish that wrap around a central cylinder of clear seedy glass. The spherical metal cage houses a single E27 bulb (sold separately) inside the glass, which creates textured light patterns through the seeded surface. The pendant is IP44-rated for outdoor use in covered positions.

Designed for porches, covered patios, garden room entrances and coastal balconies where weather protection is needed, the Carson hangs on a rod and chain system that adjusts from 433mm to 1193mm drop during installation. The vintage iron finish is a mid-brown with surface texture that suggests aged metalwork, pairing well with stone, brick and timber cladding. The 254mm diameter suits single-door entrances, covered walkways and porch ceilings between 2.4-3m height.

The overlapping ribbon construction leaves open gaps between each metal band, so the cage itself becomes part of the light pattern when the bulb is on — the shadow lines shift as you walk past. The clear seedy glass inside the cage diffuses the bulb filament while still allowing the light source to read as a point, making the Carson suitable for pairing with visible-filament LED bulbs. The metal frame is powder-coated for corrosion resistance, and the IP44 rating confirms protection against water splashes from any direction.

Frequently Asked

What does IP44 cover in practice?

IP44 provides protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and water splashes from any direction. The Carson is safe for covered outdoor positions like porches, verandas and gazebos, but should not be used in fully exposed positions where it would face direct rain or be submerged.

What bulb works best with this pendant?

The Carson takes a standard E27 bulb up to 40W. Most users pair it with a 6-8W LED bulb in warm white (2700K) or a visible-filament LED in ST64 or G95 shape, as the clear seedy glass allows the bulb to be seen through the cage.

Can the drop length be adjusted after installation?

The drop is set during installation by adjusting the rod and chain before fixing the canopy to the ceiling. Once installed, the drop length is fixed unless the pendant is taken down and the rod/chain adjusted again.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 433mm minimum drop means the pendant suits porch ceilings of 2.4m or higher. For higher ceilings (3m+) the drop can be extended up to 1193mm to bring the light down to a comfortable height above a doorway or seating area.
