Fixture Types to Use with Our Hanging Light Conversion Kit

When you decide to convert recessed light to hanging light, you’ll also need to decide on a new fixture. With so many shapes, sizes, and colors available, choosing the right fixture for your space can be difficult. As you plan your project to convert can light to hanging light and begin to explore your options, here are some helpful tips to consider.

Convert Can Light to Hanging Fixture: Chandeliers

Chandeliers never seem to go out of style. They also work perfectly with our hanging light conversion kit. Have you been thinking about installing an oversized statement piece chandelier? To convert can light to hanging light of that size, you’ll want to go with our Model R56 5 and 6 Inch Can Conversion with Designer Beveled Medallion kit. With a weight limit of 50lbs, you could even install a Mission and Arts & Crafts style chandelier boasting wrought iron and iron scrolls. No matter what style you choose, it will add a warm and a beautiful glow to any space. Perfect for entry ways and hallways or creating a more sophisticated look in a formal dining room, our hanging light conversion kit makes it possible.

Convert Can Light to Hanging Fixture: Swag Lamps

Hanging swag lamps are another way to convert recessed light to hanging light. They utilize a cord or chain that is swagged between two or more points, which gives swag lamps their name. They come in many materials such as wicker, stained glass, crystal & rattan. Hanging swag light fixtures have been around for many decades and are available everywhere. Swag lights can be used with our hanging light conversion kit in almost any space including bathrooms, dining rooms, and reading nooks.

Convert Can Light to Hanging Fixture: Pendants

Hanging pendant lights are so versatile you can use them in just about any room. They are great over a kitchen countertop or over a kitchen table. For a home office, you can hang the pendant lower for better task lighting. Hanging pendant lamps come in modern/contemporary styles as well as old-world antique styles such as tiffany lamps. Hanging pendant lamps are great because not only do they provide accent and beauty, but they also provide form and function. Learn more about using our hanging light conversion kit to install pendant lights.

Convert Can Light to Hanging Fixture: Outdoor Lighting

A great way to add ambiance to your outdoor living space is to use our hanging light conversion kit to add a hanging lantern over a table or deck. These typically hang by a chain and add warm illumination throughout the night. Of course, you can always use a hanging ceiling fan if there is a need to cool your outdoor living space, or you could hang a simple chandelier style light that offers beautiful design while lighting the outdoor space for functionality as well. Learn more about other outdoor lighting options compatible with our hanging light conversion kit.
