Pendant Light Cord Question

10 years ago

I purchased some hand blown glass pendants with the top fixture hole about the size of my pinky--just enough room for the wire. I have been looking endlessly for ready-made hard wired fixtures (plastic coated wire, not cloth) with round cording that wires into ceiling to no avail. I think I could make them, but geeze, doesn't anyone make these? I have seen dozens of flat cord with plugs and cloth ones but none like what I am describing. Anyone have a source? Thanx!

Not an electrician, but can't you just cut the plug off a cord and hard wire?

Look for some lighting supply places. If I can remember the one I ordered from, I'll post it.

Yeah, we thought about cutting the plug, but having trouble finding a cord that isn't unattractive and a low profile socket that won't block the light coming through the pendant. We might have to resort to that, however, if we don't find anything else. Found some on eBay that come from China, but that seems crazy for such a minor item. Thanks for the input, and I will post a resolution to the issue when I arrive at one!
