Copper Ceiling Lights & Light Fittings

Well, before you do anything else. Find out if the ceiling light in question is made of copper or if it’s a copper style light.

Copper style lights are often made of a different metal or plastic and treated, filmed or coated to look like copper. The good news is that this is a way of getting the copper look without the complex means of maintaining and cleaning the copper.

Copper oxidises easily and can look mucky and aged if you don’t keep on top of it. So, our solution of having copper styled lighting means that you go about cleaning as you usually would any other light. Regular dusting will stop unsightly build ups of dust (which would no doubt wreak havoc on the sinuses). If they’re looking dirty post dusting, then you can always take a damp cloth to them (once disconnected from a power source!).

Look out for the IP rating! An IP rating of 44 or higher is ideal for outdoor use. Anything less than that probably won’t last long against the wind, rain and dust of the outdoor world. Check out this handy blog on IP ratings for more info on what IP ratings mean.

Bold, but versatile. That’s copper. It brings a warmth and vibrancy to a space without adding too much visual volume. You can add in the details quite seamlessly into many different interior design styles.

Industrial Chic: Raw materials like brick and concrete are common in industrial design and provide the perfect support to your copper pieces. Add some bare piping and LED filament bulbs and you’ve got it picture perfect.

Modern and Contemporary: A sleek and often minimalist interior design style that benefits from copper lights that enhance the clean lines and simplicity of modern and contemporary interiors.

Yep, of course you can! Just make sure you’re checking the info on the light fitting you buy so you get the bulb right, but most of our lighting will work with LED bulbs.
