Shortening the Pendant Light

You can easily shorten the cord by pulling it through the ceiling cap. First, calculate at what height you want to hang the pendant light.

The average height for a pendant light above a dining table is approximately 150-160 cm, measured from the floor to the bottom of the shade. If the ceiling is 250 cm high, you will have 90 cm left for the lamp and cord. From these 90 centimetres, subtract the size of the lampshade to determine the length of the cord. Another guideline is that the distance between the table and the lamp should be 60-70 cm. Once you have determined the correct length, mark the desired length (measured from the bottom). Cut the cord to this line.

Pull the cord through until you see the length marking you have set. The excess cord can be coiled and secured with a piece of tape. This way, you can neatly tuck the excess cord into the ceiling cap.
