Description
The Philadelphia is a 190mm outdoor chain pendant with a cast metal body finished in old bronze patina and a single champagne-tinted blown glass panel. The body sits 380mm tall on the chain and houses one E27 bulb fitting (bulb sold separately, max 60W). The pendant carries an IP44 rating, protecting against water spray from any direction and solid objects above 1mm, making it suitable for covered outdoor locations such as porches, verandas, loggia spaces and entrance canopies.
Designed for traditional and classical architecture, the Philadelphia pairs period detailing — fluted mouldings, acanthus leaf brackets, scroll elements on the upper and lower body — with practical outdoor construction. The champagne glass diffuses the bulb while allowing warm light to reach the porch floor or entrance threshold. The 1590mm chain allows the drop to be adjusted between 540mm and 1540mm on installation, accommodating different ceiling heights in covered outdoor spaces.
The old bronze finish is applied to cast aluminium, giving the appearance of aged bronze without the weight or cost of solid bronze construction. The finish develops a darker patina in recessed details and lighter tones on raised edges, creating depth across the relief moulding. The champagne blown glass is hand-formed, so each panel shows slight variation in tone and thickness. At 190mm diameter the pendant works in entrance porches above a typical 900mm-wide door and on larger verandas where multiple pendants can be spaced along the roofline.

Frequently Asked
What does IP44 mean and where can this pendant be used?
IP44 means the fitting is protected against water spray from any direction and solid objects above 1mm. This makes the Philadelphia suitable for covered outdoor locations such as entrance porches, verandas, loggia spaces and canopies, where it is sheltered from direct rain but exposed to moisture and airborne dust. It is not rated for fully exposed positions without overhead cover.
What bulb does it take?
The pendant takes one E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W, sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W and 2200K-2700K to complement the champagne glass and old bronze finish.
Can the drop height be adjusted after installation?
The drop is adjustable on installation by shortening the chain before final wiring. Once installed and wired, the drop is fixed. The chain allows adjustment between 540mm and 1540mm to suit different porch ceiling heights.
Does the old bronze finish weather outdoors?
The old bronze patina is applied to cast aluminium and is designed for outdoor use under cover. In sheltered positions the finish holds its appearance well. In more exposed covered locations the finish may darken slightly over time, which is consistent with the aged bronze aesthetic.
