Cage Pendant Ceiling Lights

What are Cage Pendant Lights?

Where cage pendant lights differ from other pendant lights is in style. All pendant lights are lighting fixtures that hang from the ceiling, but cage pendant lights have an enclosed “cage” around their light bulbs. They are commonly installed in kitchens , living rooms, and foyers, but can work well in most areas of your home depending on your taste.

Cage Pendant Lighting for Your Home

Find the perfect look for your home with a variety of cage pendant lights highlighting subtle Art-Deco or rustic influences. For an aesthetically pleasing addition to your home décor:

• Industrial cage pendant lights paired with a classic Edison-style lightbulb round out your kitchen’s farmhouse style.
• Wire cage pendant lights designed with sleek geometric forms and cool finishes give your dining room a stylish modern upgrade.
• A bird cage pendant light in your foyer welcomes guests to your home with a powerful visual impact.

If you have a foyer or a small kitchen counter, you may only need one well-placed pendant light. However, multiple lights may add a balancing effect if installing in a hallway, over a long kitchen counter, or your living or dining room. 

Key Design Features

Whether you opt for a single downrod cage pendant light or a cluster of linear lights, you can choose lights with matte black or polished nickel finishes for a sleek, solid look that compliments a modern design aesthetic. Or, complete your home’s rustic feel with cage light fixtures featuring a noble bronze finish. There are many options to choose from so that you can give your space just the right finishing touch.

Helpful Installation Tips

To make the most of your cage pendant fixtures, considering the following factors when planning your installations:

• Think about how much illumination you will need and decide if a single light or multiple lights are suitable for your space. Cage pendant lights may provide less directed light than domed styles.
• Account for how high up you want your caged pendant light fixture to hang. You want to make sure that you provide enough clearance for people to cross under the light, especially if installing in a foyer.
• Will you be able to install the pendant light yourself, or will you need an electrician? If you are swapping out a preexisting fixture, you may be able to do it yourself. If you are adding a new fixture, you may need to hire a professional for the installation.
