in-lite pendant lights
Which in-lite pendant light is right for my outdoor space?
in-lite pendant lights bring light directly above outdoor dining tables, seating areas, and other covered spaces. Models differ in size, light distribution, installation, and the atmosphere they create, with options for both 12V and 230V applications. Compare the pendant lights below to find a suitable solution for your veranda, pergola, or covered terrace.
| If you want to... | Recommended in-lite pendant series | Why this series fits |
|---|---|---|
| Create soft, comfortable light with a clean, understated design | in-lite DISC PENDANT | Its distinctive round disc shape provides soft, diffused light, making it well suited above an outdoor dining table or seating area |
| Add atmospheric lighting with a more playful, organic appearance | in-lite SWAY PENDANT | Its compact, rounded design creates atmospheric downward light and gives a veranda or covered terrace a softer, more informal character |
| Make your pendant light a distinctive part of the outdoor design | in-lite VOQUE PENDANT | Combines the characteristic VOQUE fixture with the in-lite BELT, giving the pendant a more defined and luxurious appearance |
| Create greater visual presence in a larger outdoor setting | in-lite BIG VOQUE PENDANT | Uses the same distinctive design as the VOQUE PENDANT in a larger format, making it well suited above larger tables and in more spacious verandas |
Single, DUO or TRIPLE pendant lights?
The number of pendant lights you choose influences both the light and the visual balance above a table or seating area. A single pendant creates one clear focal point, while a DUO or TRIPLE arrangement spreads the composition across a wider area.
Single pendant
A single pendant works well when one central light point suits the layout of your table or seating area. It also gives the fixture itself a more prominent role in the design. All four in-lite pendant series are available as single-fixture versions.
DUO and TRIPLE pendant lights
For a broader arrangement, the DISC PENDANT and SWAY PENDANT are also available in DUO and TRIPLE 230V versions. These combine two or three pendant lights on a single ceiling plate, creating a balanced composition without requiring separate connection points for each pendant.
Positioning pendant lights in your outdoor space
The position of a pendant light affects both its practical use and how it looks within a veranda or covered terrace. Start with the area you want to illuminate, such as a dining table or seating area, and consider the fixture in relation to the furniture and the proportions of the space.
Expert advice: Before fixing the pendant in its final position, check the composition from both the seating area and the main viewpoints around the veranda. A pendant may be centred perfectly above the table but still look out of balance when viewed from the house or garden.
Above an outdoor dining table
Position the pendant in relation to the table rather than simply using the centre of the entire veranda as your reference point. This helps visually connect the lighting with the dining area and creates a more intentional composition.
Above an outdoor seating area
Pendant lights can also be used to define a seating area beneath a veranda or covered terrace. Position the fixture in relation to the furniture layout and the area where light is actually needed, while keeping comfortable headroom and clear sightlines in mind.
Consider the scale of the space
The pendant should feel proportionate to both the area beneath it and the surrounding structure. A compact design can remain visually subtle, while a larger fixture or multi-pendant arrangement can have greater presence in a spacious veranda.
Should I choose a 12V or 230V pendant light?
in-lite pendant lights are available for both 12V and 230V installations. The right option mainly depends on how your outdoor lighting system is set up and whether the pendant will form part of an in-lite 12V installation or connect to a 230V supply. When planning a new layout, make sure the total load of the connected lighting remains within the capacity of the transformer.
12V pendant lights
A 12V pendant light can be integrated into the in-lite low-voltage lighting system. This is a practical choice when your veranda or covered terrace is already part of an in-lite 12V installation, or when you want the pendant lighting to become a part of a new 12V lighting plan.
The DISC PENDANT, SWAY PENDANT, VOQUE PENDANT, and BIG VOQUE PENDANT are all available in 12V versions.
230V pendant lights
230V versions are also available when you desire more simplicity. The DISC PENDANT and SWAY PENDANT are available as DUO and TRIPLE 230V configurations, while the VOQUE PENDANT and BIG VOQUE PENDANT are available as single 230V pendant lights.
Expert advice: Choose the voltage that best matches your outdoor lighting installation. A 12V pendant is a natural choice when you want to integrate the fixture into an in-lite low-voltage lighting system, while a 230V model can suit a dedicated mains-powered connection. Check your existing or planned power supply before ordering so you can select the right version.
Why choose in-lite pendant lights?
-
Dedicated light where you use your outdoor space
Illuminate dining tables and seating areas from above rather than relying solely on lighting elsewhere in the garden. -
Design choice for different outdoor settings
Choose subtle fixtures or more prominent designs to complement the scale and character of your veranda or covered terrace. -
Flexible configuration options
Selected series offer multi-pendant arrangements for situations where a single fixture is not the preferred composition. -
Choice of 12V and 230V models
Select a version that suits the electrical setup of your covered outdoor space. -
Easy to combine with other in-lite fixtures
Combine pendant lights with in-lite wall lights around the covered area and in-lite spotlights to highlight planting and features in the surrounding garden.
Installing in-lite pendant lights
Plan the electrical connection and cable route before installing your pendant lights. When the pendant lighting forms part of a wider garden lighting scheme, include it in your lighting plan so that the covered terrace and surrounding garden are considered together.
Selected in-lite pendant lights include a strain relief system to support a neat and secure installation. Always follow the installation instructions supplied with the specific fixture, as connection and mounting requirements can differ between models.

Frequently asked questions
Can I install in-lite garden lighting myself?
Yes. The in-lite 12V system is designed for easy installation without any specialist knowledge. Using Easy-Lock connectors, most homeowners can install or expand their lighting system themselves. Always follow the installation instructions and ensure the transformer is installed in a dry, well-ventilated location.
How many in-lite lights can I connect to one transformer?
There is no fixed number of in-lite lights you can connect to one transformer. The limit depends on the combined VA of the fixtures rather than the number of lights. Add together the VA of all connected fixtures and make sure the total remains below the maximum VA capacity of your HUB or SMART HUB.
How do I make a lighting plan for my garden?
A garden lighting plan is a simple sketch that shows where every outdoor light will be installed before you buy any fixtures. A good lighting plan improves safety, highlights key features such as trees and pathways, and helps you choose the correct transformer and number of fixtures. Most gardens can be planned in five simple steps and within an hour.
What's the difference between functional and atmospheric lighting?
Functional lighting keeps you safe; think steps, doorways, and paths. Atmospheric lighting is there to set the mood, like a tree lit from below or a soft glow near your terrace.
Can I expand my garden lighting system later?
Yes. One of the advantages of the in-lite 12V system is that it can easily be expanded over time. You can start with lighting for your patio and pathways, then add fixtures for trees, borders, or other garden features as your lighting plan evolves.
Why has my in-lite fixture stopped working?
An in-lite fixture can stop working for several reasons. The most common causes are a loose Easy-Lock connection, a disconnected ground cable, a transformer without power or a faulty fixture. Before replacing any components, check each part of the system to identify the source of the problem.
Are all in-lite accessories compatible with every fixture?
No. Many in-lite accessories are designed for specific fixtures, product series, or system components. Always check the compatibility information on the accessory or fixture product page before ordering. If you're unsure, our lighting specialists can help you find the correct accessory for your in-lite product.
Can I change the light effect of my fixture?
Yes, selected in-lite fixtures can be combined with accessories that adjust their appearance or light effect. Available options depend on the specific fixture and can include lenses, shutters and other design accessories. Check the page of the appropriate series to see which accessories match the products.
Can I install an in-lite transformer outdoors?
Yes. An in-lite transformer can be installed outdoors, but it must be mounted correctly and protected from the weather. in-lite recommends mounting the transformer at least 50 cm above the ground and away from direct rainfall. If no sheltered location is available, use a compatible in-lite PROTECTOR for your HUB model.
