I will be replacing 8' fluorescent fixtures. Can two of these be connected mechanically to create an 8' lamp? Present lights are chain suspended.

Yes you can tie these together, there is a wire chase plug that can be removed and a electrical fitting used to protect the wiring.

If I wwere doing that I would use three chains from the ceiling and use the middle one to support each end of the fixture. You could use metal strips to connect the two fixtures but you will still have to wire them individually. You will like these much better than your old lights!

I don't see why not but I am not positive. That would be a good question for the manufacturer or even google.

Your existing fixtures work. However they have to be required. I have two types and each set has its own special wiring... And will not work with fl ballast.

I don't know. We specifically bought the lamp for the purpose of using it with a chain. We looked everywhere (Lowes - Sam's etc.) and all of the lamps they had would have required a lot of work to hang them with a chain. So this is the ideal (inexpensive) solution to those who want to hang a lamp with a chain.

My apologies for the previous reply. We purchased the lamp with the idea of not using a chain. The cord is sufficient, and after we looped it over the ceiling hook, we secured it ( simple knot) to a hook leading down to the electrical connection. Again, sorry.

I did it; but it requires some SERIOUS diss-assembly. I'd never do it again because the plastic ends break. Then you end up with a fixture with lots of tape to hold it together. I recommend using the chains, just get it close to the ceiling as you can.

I hung mine from an 8 ft ceiling so only needed a small amount of chain. Maybe the supplier can provide extra, or since it is black, maybe extra can be purchased at a hardware store. It really is a beautiful fixture. Good luck

That would work as you can keep adding extensions. Make sure though you screw the fixtures into the wall. Just for stability.

They don't come connected together. They are designed to be wired into an existing, wired pipe/stand. They take a regular light bulb. I would recommend LEDs so that you don't have to go through the hassle of changing out the bulbs so much.

Yes, as long as the total wattage of both bulbs does not exceed the maximum wattage for the fixture. Otherwise, this could be a fire hazard.

Yes, and its 8 feet between ballast and light fixture and another 8 from ballast to outlet.

Fixture comes with 36" of chain and wire. If you need more an electrician can open it up and add additional wireSteven

The leads from each lamp have those fittings that clamp onto the feed wire - I used them and had no problem. However I assume you could cut off the leads and splice the leads into the main feed wire (would take a lot of time for each lamp). If the press fittings fail in the future, that will be my cure.

Sorry, I had to return them as they did not attach to a conventional fluorescent light attachment. Return shipping was not cheap!

Yes, I was able to hang mine staggered from 18" to 30". Won't be a problem at all. Just change the bulb to halogen or LED. Bulbs are very bad. The bulb actually separated upon installation. Could be dangerous

The fixture is flexible and comes in four 4' sections. I've used all four sections, but I think you could probably use fewer, and wind the light through my kitchen and dining room. I haven't added more lights yet, but I think I will. It will be super easy to add more.

Yes :) All you need are two fluorescent tube bulbs. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very pleasing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SP41 Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 741 Light Bulb 48"

We had to splice in more electrical cord length to allow the lamp to hang over our dinning room table but didn't need to add to the chain. The chain looks long enough to drop the 5 feet you are looking for. My husband just added the length to the light bulb end to make sure there was no tension on the cord there.
