Ole Lighting Bimba Outdoor Pendant

Choosing a decorative pendant for an outdoor space involves a real tension: the fixture needs to perform in an exposed environment without looking like it was designed purely for survival. Too many outdoor pendants sacrifice character for compliance. The Bimba resolves that compromise cleanly.

For outdoor suspended fittings, the IP rating is the most important technical starting point. IP66 means the fixture is fully protected against dust ingress and powerful water jets — comfortably suited to covered terraces, pergolas, and sheltered exterior dining areas. Beyond the rating, the lamp source matters too: the Bimba uses an E27 Edison screw fitting, the most widely available lamp base, giving you a straightforward path to choosing the right LED bulb for warmth and efficiency.

The Ole Lighting Bimba is a Spanish-designed outdoor pendant from the Bimba collection — a range that takes sustainability seriously without making it the whole story. The 80 cm shade is handbraided from cord spun from recycled plastic bottles (nine 1.5-litre bottles per shade), wound over a black metal structure. The result is a fixture that reads as richly textural from a distance and quietly responsible up close. IP66 rated for outdoor use, it accepts a single E27 LED lamp (not included) and ships with 26 metres of suspension cord, giving real flexibility for high-ceiling or atrium installations.

Visually, the Bimba is bold without being aggressive — the wide, shallow profile creates a dramatic horizontal silhouette that works particularly well over outdoor dining tables or as a statement centrepiece in a covered terrace. Two cord colours can be selected and combined on the one shade, allowing a degree of customisation that gives each installation its own character. The open-work shade structure means the lamp itself is visible, casting patterned light and shadow across surrounding surfaces as ambient light filters through the braiding.

The Bimba arrives ready to suspend; the lamp (1 × E27 LED) is not included and should be selected separately — we can advise on the right output and colour temperature for your setting. With 26 metres of cord included, installer flexibility is high, but confirm ceiling height and canopy positioning before finalising. No driver or transformer is required — direct mains E27 fitting. The 3-year warranty applies.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with products like the Bimba precisely because they close the gap between a strong design idea and a specification that actually performs outdoors. Whether you are designing a terrace for a client or specifying fixtures for your own project, we can help you confirm lamp choice, cord colour combinations, and lead times — so nothing is left to chance on installation day.
