Metal Pendant Lights

Metal pendant lights bring a different character to a room than glass or fabric shades: the material holds a sharper silhouette, reflects more of the light source itself, and tends to read as more industrial or contemporary depending on the finish. This collection spans that range, from raw iron cage pendants and brushed cylinder shades to polished brass domes and lacquered colour finishes in green, orange and red.

Kitchen islands and dining tables are the most common home for a metal pendant, and several pieces here are sized and shaped for exactly that — height-adjustable fixtures for islands, saucer and dome shades for dining tables, and slimmer single-bulb pendants for smaller spaces like breakfast bars or bedside areas. Metal finishes such as brass and black also pair easily with mixed-material shades (acrylic, glass) for a softer look without losing the structure a metal fixture gives a room.

Most fixtures in this collection are supplied for hardwiring rather than a plug-in fitting, so we'd recommend having them connected by a qualified electrician, and always following the installation and maximum-wattage guidance included with the product.

For a warmer, less industrial alternative in similar shapes, see our wood pendant lights; for flush-mount options in comparable brass and glass tones, mid-century modern ceiling lights is worth a look. The full ceiling lights range covers every material and style we carry.
