Here's the pieces used to create the pendent light above my dinner table. Initially the cords were hung on three hooks similar to the one at the bottom of the page. I liked the lights themselves but the hardware made them look unfinished. So with my favorite architect, CPB, we came up with a plan that looks more intentional. We left one hook to get the HuckDuck light to hang in the center and then used the grooves on the octagon extension ring to help spread the other two cords out slightly. The extension ring, electrical cover, split ring hangers & cages are all spray painted the same textured bronze.
This project had a few obstacles to overcome. I'm renting, and didn't want to risk hardwiring anything in a place I don't own. The crown molding and wire management served as challenges but the split ring hangars helped guide the wires around the molding and keep them contained.
While some single lights can cost hundreds of dollars we tried to create something both unique and cost effective. More to follow, I don't think we're quite done yet...
The Cords:
You can find similar cords here and also here! Make sure you get the cord length you want, additional length will cost extra per foot.
The Lights:
Antique Light Bulb - Marconi Filament
Another way we classed up these cords was with a little extra detail.
The Hardware:
Raco 1-Gang Octagon Electrical Cover
