Eglo lighting covers a broad range of indoor and outdoor light fittings designed for everyday Australian homes, from pendants and wall lights through to ceiling fittings and exterior fixtures. With dozens of products across the collection, Eglo is one of the more established lighting brands available, offering a consistent design language whether you are lighting a living room, hallway, kitchen or outdoor entertaining area.
What Eglo lighting covers
The Eglo range spans multiple lighting categories rather than a single product type, which is what makes it a useful starting point when you are lighting more than one area of the home. Depending on the room and the effect you want, that can include pendant lighting for dining and kitchen areas, wall-mounted fittings for hallways and living spaces, ceiling-mounted fixtures for general room lighting, and outdoor-rated fittings for verandahs, entries and alfresco areas.
Choosing the right fitting for each room
Living and dining areas generally suit pendant or ceiling fittings that provide broad, even light
Hallways and stairwells often work best with wall lights that add ambience without taking up ceiling space
Kitchens benefit from fittings positioned over benchtops and islands where task lighting matters most
Outdoor areas need fittings specifically rated for exterior use to handle weather exposure
When shopping the Eglo range, check the product listing for whether a fitting is rated for indoor or outdoor use, since these are not interchangeable. An indoor pendant will not have the weatherproofing needed for an exposed entry or alfresco area, and using it there can void warranty cover and create a safety issue.
Style and finish considerations
Eglo fittings are available across a range of finishes and styles to suit different interiors, from simple, understated designs through to more decorative fittings for feature areas. If you are lighting an open-plan space, it is worth choosing fittings from a similar style family so the pendant over the dining table and the wall lights in the adjoining hallway feel like part of the same scheme.
Globes and compatibility
Some Eglo fittings are supplied with globes included, while others require you to select a compatible globe separately, most commonly a standard bayonet or screw fitting depending on the product. Always check the specifications on the individual product page for the correct globe type, wattage and dimmability before installation, particularly if you are pairing the fitting with a dimmer switch.
Installation notes
Lighting installation involving mains wiring should be carried out by a licensed electrician in accordance with Australian wiring standards. This applies to hardwired pendants, wall lights and ceiling fittings alike, and is particularly important for outdoor fittings where correct sealing and earthing matter for safety.
Why shop the Eglo range as a whole
Because Eglo covers so many lighting types under one brand, it is a practical way to keep a consistent look running through a whole house or renovation project, rather than sourcing pendants from one brand and wall lights from another. Browsing the full range side by side makes it easier to spot fittings that share a finish or design detail, which is the simplest way to tie a home's lighting together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of lighting does Eglo make?
Eglo lighting covers a wide range of indoor and outdoor fittings, including pendants, wall lights, ceiling fittings and exterior lighting. It is a broad brand range rather than a single product line, which makes it useful when you need to light more than one type of space.
Is Eglo lighting suitable for outdoor use?
Some Eglo fittings are rated for outdoor use and some are designed for indoors only, so it depends on the specific product. Always check the individual listing for an outdoor or weatherproof rating before installing a fitting on a verandah, entry or alfresco area.
Do Eglo lights come with globes included?
It varies by product. Some Eglo fittings include a globe, while others are sold as the fitting only and need a compatible globe purchased separately. Check the specifications on the product page for the correct globe type and wattage.
Can I install Eglo lighting myself?
Any lighting that connects to mains wiring, including hardwired Eglo pendants, wall lights and ceiling fittings, should be installed by a licensed electrician to meet Australian wiring standards. This is especially important for outdoor fittings, where correct sealing is essential for safety.
How do I choose Eglo lighting for a whole home renovation?
Start by identifying which rooms need which type of fitting, such as pendants for dining areas, wall lights for hallways and outdoor-rated fittings for entries. Sticking to a similar style or finish across the Eglo range you choose helps keep the lighting consistent from room to room.
