Answer This Question
A:Â I have 6 of these in my living room. It has a vaulted ceiling. We have them adjusted in length so they hang down evenly across the room. 3 1/2', 2 1/2' and 1' lengths on the cord. The shade is approx 7" wide and 7 " tall, They look good in the open room. Your hall looks like it has an 8' ceiling so it would have to be put up shorter and looking at mine I honestly think the cord would have to be too short. (Allowing for door swing too) Although It would work. These install easily. You wrap the cord around the white holder, screw it into the light socket, and then push up the cover and then screw the small holder onto the cover to hold it in place. I did find other items when I was researching for mine that were Beautification rings that clip onto the existing and some that looked like decorative globes. I have had mine for a couple of years and really like them. Best wishes

A: This fixture is not too small for an entrance hallway. That’s exactly where we installed it, at the entranceway of our front door in the foyer. It is the perfect size for such a space.
by|Mar 21, 2020
A:Â From what I can tell in the photo, I think it would work well there. You can adjust the drop by simply winding the cord on the supplied spool inside the housing at the ceiling.
by|Mar 21, 2020
A:Â It could be used in an entryway that has higher ceilings and more enclosed. We love our pendants. We opted to put them over our island.

Q:How does it attach to previous hole? Will it cover a 7 inch hole?

Answer This Question
A:Â Yes, it will cover the standard size for recessed can lights. However, seal it with clear silicone sealant so it will stay in place.

A:Â Ed - This kit is to convert an existing ceiling recessed can light into a pendant light. The advantage is that you can make this conversion yourself without hiring an electrician.
Please look at the attached document. First, you need to remove the light bulb from the existing can light. Then I had to also remove a metal ring that was around the can light. Once you do that, you expose the electric socket that the light bulb screws into. The end marked on the picture just screws into the existing socket. Then you need to adjust the length of the cord to whatever fits best for you. Then you move the canopy up to the ceiling to cover the hole and tighten the nut below it. insert your bulb and you are done!
This will not cover a 7 inch hole. Are you sure that the hole is actually 7 inches, or is that the diameter of the existing ceiling recessed light with the ring?

A:Â It simply screws into an existing can light fixture. Simple.

Q:Can the glass shade be changed out on these?
by|Feb 27, 2019

Answer This Question
A:Â Yes, the glass shade can be changed out. However, please remember that these shades need to be light in weight. The pendant light and shade are hanging from where the light bulb normally goes in the ceiling. If you use a heavier shade, it is likely to pull the electrical receptacle out
by|Mar 1, 2019
A:Â Yes. I changed mine.

Q:Can these be used on a drop ceiling - like in a basement or are they too heavy?

Answer This Question
A:Â They screw into the can light, so as long as it is braced it should be fine.
by|Feb 11, 2019
A:Â you would need to have the pod lights to utilize this pendant light.
by|Feb 12, 2019
A:Â I feel that that it would be to heavy for a drop ceiling.
by|Feb 12, 2019
A:Â In my opinion, they could be used on a drop ceiling. They are not heavy - they can't be because they are hanging only from the fixture where the bulb screws in. If it was heavy, then it would pull the fixture loose.

I stumbled upon these beauties as I was online searching for pendant lights. My hubby is handy, but super busy with his job... so these were a great alternative! I could install them rather than an electrician!
WOW! Instant upgrade to our kitchen! I purchased two pendant lights for our kitchen. Super simple assembly/installation... about 5-10 minutes each- and Viola! Looks great!! It really made a big difference washing the granite counter with more light for food prep, etc..... Wish I had taken "before" photos..

I absolutely love these pendants! They were a PERFECT solution when I needed something to replace the burned out lighting that an electrician had retrofitted into the existing cans when I redid my kitchen several years ago. Took me all of 10 minutes to remove the old fixtures and screw these in. They look fantastic and the quality is excellent. Also Home Depot has really stepped up their customer service game, both in my local store and online. One of the shades had a chip on the outer edge. Home Depot put me in touch with the manufacturer, who sent a replacement out right away.

This is the easiest yet most transforming home improvement project you/anyone could choose to do and it takes less than 30 minutes to complete. No wiring or skill requires. You take out your can light bulb and screw these in, adjust the rope to the length you want your lights to hang and your done. We now have some fun with changing out the shades to update the look now and then too. Best kept secret.

These lights are very easy to install and look built in. The length is adjustable as advertised. I would have liked to seen a little information on the availability of globe replacement if one is broken.

Wish I had known about these pendents sooner! FABULOUS and super easy.
After reading reviews, thought I'd give them a shot. After all, I could return them if I didn't like them, right? They are perfect!! Reviews are right on, easy to install and look wonderful. My husband has a sprained ankle, so I installed them myself, super easy. The comments about the cover being loose are correct, but, I found if I pull down the cord just enough to make it taunt, then screw the cover into place, it seemed more secure. I seriously think they look custom in my kitchen, wish I had found them earlier. If you are looking for easy to install pendent lighting, look no further.

Super easy to install - quality better than expected
I ordered these not knowing what they would exactly look like as these are not available in the store. I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival when the item looked better than pictured on the website. The fixture will also accept other standard sized pendant shades available in the HD store so they are easily changed if needed.
