My favorite time of year is right around the corner — outdoor hosting season. I'm always eager to throw an outdoor soirée, but I've never felt like my garden looks (or feels) quite as good as my living room inside. This season, though, I've got a secret up my sleeve: this Newgarden wireless hanging pendant light.

It's the perfect replacement for string lights. A fixture that'll make your outdoor area look like a stylish extension of your indoor space. Unexpected? Yes. Chic? Oh, absolutely. And want to know the best thing about this modern garden lighting idea? It's completely wireless and rechargeable.

Loop its cord around a beam on your pergola or even a low-hanging branch, and voila — your outdoor living space is complete. But wherever you place this light, it's bound to transform the atmosphere of your garden party ideas with its soft, warm light.

This 5-star rated pendant offers an impressive battery life, but when it's time to recharge, simply detach the light from the shade and plug it into its USB charging cable (which is included with your purchase).

I'm convinced that this pendant is just what you need to make your outdoor space look as polished and put-together as your indoor spaces. But if this particular design isn't your style, don't fret. I've found three more highly functional, wireless, rechargeable, and of course, stylish pendant lights, below.


It's important to add light sources to your outdoor spaces, but these spaces won't be complete without furnishings! Find our guide to the best outdoor furniture and get your backyard or patio ready for the hosting season ahead.
