Plug in pendant lights with no hardwiring

A plug in pendant light is a hanging shade wired to a cord that plugs into a wall outlet, so it works in rooms with no ceiling point and in rentals where you cannot change the wiring. The shades here are handwoven, most from bamboo, with rattan designs such as CHA NI TA and LA PA and mixed bamboo and rattan shades such as CHA LA, BAI FERN and CHU JAI. Individual shades come with their hanging hardware. The plug-in cord set and the bulb are sold separately, so you choose the cord and plug that suit your room.

Choosing a plug-in pendant light kit

Our plug-in pendant light kit comes in white, and there is a black version too; both have a 1.8 m cord, an inline on and off switch and a choice of US (Type A), UK (Type G), EU (Type C) or AU (Type I) plug. A second black kit has a longer 2.5 m cord and is listed with a US (Type A) plug. The kit listings say no electrician and no hardwiring are needed. Each kit takes one E26 or E27 bulb, sold separately, and most shades list an E27 socket. Find every cord set in our lighting accessories.

Hanging a plug in ceiling light or swag light

Before you buy, measure from the outlet to where the shade will hang and down to the height you want, then compare it with the 1.8 m or 2.5 m cord. You can also hang a plug in pendant as a swag light, with the cord looped over a ceiling hook of your own to the spot above a table, chair or bed. To keep the cord neat, our brass cable ties come six to a pack with screws and wall anchors, and hold a cord up to 7 mm thick along a wall or ceiling. The kits are listed for indoor use only, so keep a plug-in pendant indoors.

Which shades suit a plug in hanging light

Small shades suit a bedside, a reading chair or a desk: CRYSTALYN is 17 cm (7 in) across, DARA 20 cm (8 in) and CHET 23 cm (9 in). Over a dining table, a wider shade gives more presence, such as LAWAN at 43 cm (17 in), JAINGAM at 45 cm (18 in) or CHA NI TA Large at 52 cm (21 in). For a darker look there are ARUNEE Black, BLACK VAREE and JUNDARA Black, and JUNDARA Round comes in natural, brown or black. More woven shades are in our rattan lampshades range, and for a wall version see our plug in wall lights.


Frequently Asked Questions

Not on their own. Individual shades come with their hanging hardware, and the plug-in cord set and bulb are sold separately. Add a plug-in pendant light kit from our lighting accessories and the shade becomes a plug in pendant light that runs from a wall outlet. Check each product page for what arrives with that shade, since some designs also include an adjustable metal bracket for positioning the bulb.

The white plug-in pendant light kit and the black kit with a 1.8 m cord each offer four plug options: US (Type A), UK (Type G), EU (Type C) and AU (Type I). Choose the one for the country where the light will be used when you order. The black kit with the longer 2.5 m cord is listed with a US (Type A) plug only.

The plug-in kit listings say no electrician and no hardwiring are needed: the kit plugs into a standard wall outlet and has an inline on and off switch. If you would rather wire a shade into a ceiling point, we also sell ceiling cord sets, and some of their listings recommend professional installation if you are unfamiliar with electrical wiring. The plug-in kits are listed for indoor use only.

The white kit and one black kit have a 1.8 m cord. A second black kit has a 2.5 m cord. Measure the route from your outlet to the ceiling point and down to the height where you want the shade to hang before you choose. Brass cable ties, sold six to a pack with screws and wall anchors, keep the cord tidy along a wall or ceiling.

The plug-in kits take one E26 or E27 bulb, which is not included, and most shades list an E27 socket. Product pages recommend a warm white LED bulb or a vintage Edison style LED bulb, and a lower wattage bulb for a softer glow. The warm light brings out the color of the bamboo or rattan and casts the woven pattern onto nearby walls.
