Is the Augustine pendant safe for uncovered outdoor use?

It is an outdoor fixture, but the shade is woven wicker, which holds up best under a roof or overhang. In fully exposed spots, expect the white-washed finish to weather faster than a metal or glass pendant.

How much light does the small Augustine give off?

The small basket shade is meant for accent and ambient light over a seating area or entry, not for lighting a whole patio. For a large open porch, plan on more than one fixture or a brighter light source.

What kind of bulb does it take?

It uses a standard screw-base bulb; check the socket rating on the fixture before choosing wattage. A warm-white bulb flatters the woven shade better than a cool one.

How does it compare with a metal outdoor pendant?

A metal or glass pendant is more weatherproof and throws more direct light. The Augustine trades some of that durability and output for a softer glow and a coastal, rustic look.

Where does the Augustine look best?

Covered porches, pergolas, screened patios and entryways with coastal, farmhouse or Southern styling. It is a single accent piece rather than a matched set for a whole exterior.
