FAQs
What styles of contemporary pendant lights are available in your Grandview showroom?
Our Grandview location carries a broad range of contemporary pendants, including single-drop mini pendants, multi-light cluster fixtures, linear island pendants, drum-shade pendants, and sculptural LED designs. Finishes span matte black, aged brass, brushed nickel, chrome, and mixed-metal combinations, while diffuser options include clear, frosted, opal, and seeded glass. Because we partner with more than a dozen premium brands, many fixtures can be special-ordered in custom sizes or finishes to suit your décor.
Are the pendant fixtures you sell certified to meet local electrical and safety codes?
Yes. Every pendant light we stock is UL or ETL listed for dry, damp, or wet locations and manufactured to comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted in Grandview and the greater Jackson County area. Spec sheets list voltage, wattage, and maximum load information, and all products include proper grounding and strain-relief hardware. If your project requires additional documentation for permitting, our lighting specialists can supply the appropriate certification letters and cut sheets.
Can your pendant lights be installed on a sloped or vaulted ceiling?
Most of our contemporary pendants ship with swiveling canopies or ball-and-socket joints that allow installation on ceilings pitched up to 45°. For steeper angles, we offer compatible slope-adapter kits and extension rods that keep the fixture hanging straight. When you visit the showroom, let us know your ceiling angle and height so we can recommend the correct hardware and down-rod lengths.
What bulb types and wattages should I use with these fixtures?
The majority of our pendants are designed for medium-base (E26) or GU10 bulbs up to 60 W equivalent. We strongly recommend high-efficiency LED lamps, which provide the same light output as a 60–75 W incandescent while using only 6–10 W. Integrated-LED pendants include built-in boards rated for 50,000 hours and are fully dimmable with most TRIAC or ELV dimmers. Always match the bulb’s voltage (120 V or 12 V) and color temperature (e.g., 2700 K warm white or 3000 K soft white) to your design goals.
Do you offer installation services, or should I hire an electrician?
For homeowners who prefer a turnkey solution, we can coordinate installation through our vetted network of licensed Grandview electricians who are familiar with the fixtures we sell. They handle ceiling-box reinforcement, wiring, dimmer compatibility, and final leveling. If you already have an electrician, we’re happy to supply spec sheets, mounting instructions, and technical support. DIY installation is possible for those comfortable working with household wiring, but we always recommend shutting off power at the breaker and following NEC guidelines.
How do I determine the ideal hanging height and spacing for pendant lights?
A good rule of thumb is to position the bottom of a pendant 30–36 inches above a kitchen island or dining table. In open areas such as entryways, maintain at least 7 feet of clearance from the floor. For multiple pendants, space them one fixture diameter apart (e.g., 12-inch-wide pendant = 12 inches between edges). Our in-store design team can create a scaled lighting layout based on your room’s dimensions to ensure balanced illumination and visual harmony.
