Black Friday Lighting 2026 (UK): The Pendant, Wall and Cage Lights Worth Buying
Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday 27 November, with Cyber Monday on 30 November. If a room needs new lighting, this is the week to plan it. Below you will find the pendant, spider, cage and wall lights we would put in a basket first, with real prices, sizing advice, bulb guidance and answers to the questions UK shoppers ask most.

What lighting should you buy on Black Friday?
Buy the fittings that change a room most for the least money: a pendant light over a table or island, a multi-arm spider light for a larger space, and a plug-in wall light for a bedroom or hallway. Add matching LED bulbs and a ceiling rose in the same order so nothing holds up the installation.
Lighting is one of the few home upgrades where a single item transforms the whole space. Most of our customers are re-lighting a kitchen, dining area, hallway or café, and the pattern is the same: choose the shade style first, then confirm the fitting (almost always E27), then pick the bulb.

These six are drawn from our current ranges. Prices are what you will see on the product page today.
What are the best Black Friday pendant lights for a kitchen?
For a kitchen, choose a wipe-clean metal pendant over the island or sink, and keep the shade compact so it does not crowd the worktop. A balloon cage pendant or a metal dome pendant gives focused light downwards, which is what a work surface needs.
Hang two or three identical pendants in a row over an island rather than one large one. Pair them with a warm white E27 bulb so food looks appetising. Our kitchen lighting collection groups the shades, holders and bulbs that suit this job.
What are the best lights for a living room or dining room?
In a living or dining room, a multi-arm spider light or a pair of crystal cage shades gives wide, layered light. Add a dimmable bulb and a plug-in wall light in one corner and you can change the mood without rewiring.
The 6-way spider light suits a dining table because the six drops can be hung at different heights. If you prefer a softer look, browse the hemp rope lighting range or the living and dining room collection. For a smaller, lower-effort upgrade, the plug-in lights need no electrician.
What are the best cheap lights in the UK under £20?
You can light a room well for under £20. The cheapest good options are easy-fit wire cage shades from about £9, a plug-in cage wall light at £13.59, a balloon cage pendant from £16.35 and a hemp rope dome pendant at £17.35.
| Light | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Wire cage shade 2-pack ~6772 | From £9.19 | Refreshing an existing pendant holder |
| Plug-in cage wall light ~6811 | £13.59 | Bedrooms, hallways, reading corners |
| Balloon cage pendant ~1376 | From £16.35 | Kitchen islands, bedside drops |
| Hemp rope dome pendant ~1656 | £17.35 | Dining areas, cafés, bars |
If you already own a pendant holder, buying only a new shade is the cheapest refresh. Browse easy fit lamp shades and wire cages.
How do you choose a pendant light? Size, height and bulb
Work out three things: how wide the shade should be, how low it should hang, and which bulb it takes. As a general rule of thumb, hang a pendant about 75 to 90cm above a table or worktop, and make the light about a third of the table's width. Most vintage-style pendants take an E27 bulb.
- Size: check the shade dimensions on the product page. Lifestyle photos can make small shades look larger, and the crystal 2-pack page asks you to check the size diagram before ordering.
- Drop height: adjustable cords (like the 100cm cord on the balloon cage or the 2m cables on the spider light) let you fine-tune it once the fitting is up.
- Number of lights: for a long table, use a multi-way fitting or hang two to three pendants evenly spaced. Our multi-outlet range covers 3, 5, 6 and 8-way options.
- Ceiling rose: some listings include one and some do not. Check "What's in the box" and add a ceiling rose if needed.

Cage vs dome vs spider vs flush: which ceiling light is better?
Choose a cage for an industrial, open look, a dome for focused light over a surface, a spider light for a big feature over a table, and a flush mount where ceilings are low.
| Style | Light feel | Best rooms | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wire cage | Open, decorative glow | Kitchens, hallways, cafés | Less directional than a closed shade |
| Metal dome | Focused downward light | Islands, dining tables, bars | Hemp rope cannot be shortened, only knotted |
| Spider (multi-arm) | Wide, layered light | Large dining and living areas | Needs ceiling height and a sturdy fixing |
| Flush mount | Even, close-to-ceiling light | Low ceilings, hallways | Less of a feature |
What is an E27 bulb and which bulb do I need?
An E27 bulb is the large Edison screw fitting, 27mm across, used in most vintage and industrial pendant lights. B22 is the bayonet fitting (push and twist) common in older UK lamps. Check your holder first, then buy a matching bulb: our E27 bulbs and B22 bulbs are sorted by base.
If you want to dim the light, buy a bulb marked dimmable and use it with a compatible dimmer. Our dimmable LED bulbs start from about £3 each, for example the ST64 E27 4W dimmable filament bulb. A warm white (around 2700K) bulb suits homes and cafés best.
Black Friday lighting checklist
- Measure the table, ceiling height and drop you need before you add to basket.
- Confirm the fitting type (E27 or B22) and buy bulbs at the same time.
- Check whether a ceiling rose, cable or bulb is included in the box.
- Group purchases to trigger the multi-buy savings on pendants, wall lights and shades.
- Plan installation. Hardwired fittings should be fitted by a qualified electrician; see our installation guide.
Why is my pendant light not working or flickering?
Most pendant faults come down to the bulb, the holder connection or a mismatch with the dimmer. Switch off at the consumer unit first, then check the bulb is seated and working, and that any dimmer supports LED. If the fault continues, ask a qualified electrician to inspect the wiring.
- Light not coming on: try a known good bulb, check the bulb is fully screwed in, and make sure the supply is on.
- Flickering on a dimmer: use a dimmable LED bulb and a dimmer rated for LED loads.
- Buzzing or humming: usually a bulb and dimmer mismatch. Try a different dimmable bulb.
Never work on live wiring. Our team can help if you are unsure which part you need: contact us.
Frequently asked questions
When is Black Friday 2026 in the UK?
Black Friday 2026 is on Friday 27 November, and Cyber Monday is Monday 30 November. Many retailers start deals earlier in the month.
Does LEDSone offer free delivery?
Yes. UK standard delivery (1 to 4 working days) is free on orders over £30, or £2.69 under £30. Next day delivery is £4.69 if you order before 1pm. See our delivery information.
Can I return a light if it does not fit?
You have 30 days from receiving your item to request a refund or exchange. The item must be unused and in its original packaging. Missing or damaged items must be reported within 48 hours of delivery. See the full returns policy.
What bulb does a vintage pendant light need?
Most take an E27 (Edison screw) bulb. Check the product page for the fitting, and note that some pendants are sold without a bulb. Browse E27 bulbs.
Are cage pendant lights dimmable?
The fitting itself can work with a dimmer if you use a dimmable bulb. For example, our balloon cage pendant is listed as compatible with dimmable E27 bulbs and switches. Always match a dimmable bulb with a dimmer that supports LED.
Can I fit a pendant light myself?
Easy-fit shades that slot onto an existing holder need no tools. Hardwired ceiling fittings should be installed by a qualified electrician. Plug-in wall lights need no wiring at all.
How many pendant lights do I need over a dining table?
As a guide, use one large pendant or a multi-way fitting for a small table, and two to three evenly spaced pendants for a long table or island. A 6-way spider light covers a wide dining table on its own.
How do I know if a shade is the right size?
Check the dimensions in the product description, not just the photos. The crystal 2-pack listing, for instance, asks you to check the size diagram before ordering. If in doubt, message us before you buy.
