Rattan pendant light shades, handwoven in Thailand

This collection brings together rattan pendant light shades and woven bamboo pendants, all handwoven in Thailand. Rattan and bamboo are the main materials, and designs such as CHU JAI and CHA LA combine the two in one shade. Finishes are natural, brown and black, and sizes run from XS up to XXXL depending on the design. When the light is on, the open weave filters it and casts patterned shadows across the ceiling and walls, which gives a warm, relaxed glow over a table, a seating area or a quiet corner of a covered porch. Our outdoor rattan pendant lighting ideas show more ways to use them under a roof.

Wicker pendant lights for covered outdoor spaces

Wicker describes the weave rather than one material, so these rattan and bamboo shades give the woven look of wicker pendant and hanging lights. Many shades in this range are listed for indoor use. A few, such as IYARA and NUB DAO, are listed as suitable for indoor use or covered outdoor areas, meaning a porch, patio or pergola with a solid roof. Product pages also advise avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, rain and excessive humidity, so hang an outdoor rattan pendant light where rain cannot reach it and bring it inside in bad weather. Check each product page before you choose a shade for an outdoor spot.

Choosing a small or large rattan pendant light

Size is the first choice. The range runs from compact shades like KHE MI KA Small to wide designs such as VAREE (Extra Large), and many designs come in several sizes up to XXXL. Product pages list the measurements in cm and inches, and our guide to choosing rattan pendant lights covers hanging height too. A small rattan pendant light suits a bedside, a hallway or a cluster of two or three over a kitchen island. A large outdoor rattan pendant light gives one main source of light over a dining table or a covered seating area. If you group shades, one design in mixed sizes keeps the look tidy. Our rattan pendant lights page groups the rattan designs.

What comes with a rattan lamp shade for hanging

Most listings are for the shade only. The bulb is not included, and the pendant cord is not included either, so you will need a pendant cord kit or an existing ceiling fitting. Compatible cord kits are widely available from home improvement stores and lighting suppliers. A few shades, such as ESAN and JUNDARA, include an adjustable metal bracket that holds the bulb in position inside the weave. Shades are made for an E27 socket, and several list E26 / E27. A soft LED or vintage style bulb brings out the warm, natural glow of the rattan and bamboo.

Caring for rattan and bamboo pendant shades

Dust your shade regularly with a soft dry cloth or a feather duster, and for deeper cleaning wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth. Keep it away from long spells of direct sun, rain and high humidity, indoors as well as out. Because every shade is handwoven, small differences in tone, weave and size from one piece to the next are normal. Orders ship from Thailand, and delivery usually takes 2 to 10 business days. Any import duties or taxes in your country are paid by the buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these rattan pendant lights outdoors?

Only under cover. Many shades in this collection are listed for indoor use, and a few, including IYARA and NUB DAO, are listed as suitable for indoor use or covered outdoor areas, such as a porch, patio or pergola with a roof. They are not made for open outdoor use. Keep them out of the rain, avoid long exposure to direct sun and humidity, and bring them inside in bad weather. Check each product page before you hang a shade outside.

Is a bulb or pendant cord included with the shades?

No bulb is included. Most listings are for the shade only, and the pendant cord is not included either, so you will need a pendant cord kit or an existing ceiling fitting. Compatible cord kits are widely available from lighting suppliers and home improvement stores. A few shades, such as ESAN and JUNDARA, include an adjustable metal bracket that holds the bulb in place. Check each product page to see what is included with that design.

Which socket and bulb do the shades take?

The shades are made for an E27 socket, and several list E26 / E27. Most product pages list a maximum of 60W, so check the page for the shade you choose. For the look, we recommend a soft LED or a vintage style bulb, which brings out the warm, natural glow of the woven rattan and bamboo. If you are wiring into a ceiling point, have it fitted by a qualified electrician.

What sizes and finishes are available?

Sizes depend on the design. The range runs from compact shades such as KHE MI KA Small up to XXXL, and many designs come in several sizes, while others come in one size or in small and large. Finishes are natural, brown and black. Each product page lists the measurements in cm and inches, so measure your space and compare before you order.

How do I clean a rattan pendant shade?

Switch the light off and let the bulb cool first. Dust the shade regularly with a soft dry cloth or a feather duster. For deeper cleaning, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry fully before you switch it back on. Keep the shade away from long periods of direct sunlight, rain and excessive humidity, whether it hangs indoors or under a covered porch.
