How to Add It

Add your pendant light to your cart.
Under “Pairs well with”, select Plug-In Cord with Switch for Pendant Lights (5M / 196″).
Choose Black or White and your plug type (US Plug for U.S. outlets). Add the cord to your cart and check out with both items.

What’s Included

Your pendant and plug-in cord arrive in one package with three mounting hooks for routing the cord and supporting a compatible fixture. The cord arrives unattached and must be connected before use.

Details & Ordering

Compatibility

For compatible single-bulb pendants only. Not for chandeliers or multi-light fixtures. For integrated-LED or grounded models, please check with us first.

Cord & Switch

47″ / 1.2 m from plug to switch; 145″ / 3.7 m from switch to light (approx.).

The switch is on/off only. A compatible dimmable bulb can still be controlled by its remote while the switch is on.

Ordering

Sold only with a compatible pendant. Cord-only orders may be adjusted or canceled. Buying several pendants? Tell us which ones need a cord.

Hardwired Parts & Changes

Hardwired installation parts aren’t included with plug-in orders unless requested. Add a checkout note or contact us before ordering. If your light has shipped, ask us before adding a cord; extra shipping fees may apply.

Installation & Safety

Assembly required. Connect the cord correctly before use. If you’re not qualified to do the wiring, ask a licensed electrician. Use the hooks only with suitable anchors and surfaces, within their rated load. The connection needs proper strain relief and must not support the pendant’s weight.

For indoor use only. Keep the cord away from foot traffic and damage. Never run it through walls or ceilings.

Certification: SPT-2 power cord certified to UL 62 (File No. E494674). Certification covers the cord only, not the complete plug-in assembly or pendant.

FAQs

Yes. We can customize the diameter of the canopy, the plate that covers the ceiling connection. Send us the size you need before ordering.

For small or medium pendants, start about 24 to 30 inches apart, measured center to center. Space larger shades farther apart and leave a visible gap between them.

Yes. Your installer can shorten the cord to set the hanging height. For a longer cord, contact us before ordering with the length you need.

Start with the bottom of the pendant about 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop or counter. Adjust for ceiling height and make sure the shade doesn't block your view.

This pendant is hardwired. A qualified electrician should connect it to your home's wiring.

Yes. This pendant can be installed on a sloped ceiling.

Yes, by replacing the included non-dimmable bulb. For wall dimming, you'll need a compatible dimmable bulb and wall dimmer, neither of which is included. You can also buy the optional bulb and remote set to adjust brightness and color temperature. That set replaces the standard bulb and won't work with a wall dimmer.

Yes, with compatible dimmable replacement bulbs and a matching wall dimmer. The included bulbs aren't dimmable, and the replacement bulbs and dimmer aren't included.

Yes. Both the fixture and the included light source work with standard U.S. 120V power.

Yes. The mounting hardware is included. Your installer may need additional anchors or fasteners for your wall or ceiling.

Testimonials

★★★★★
I’ve had this lamp for over six months now, and it’s still as good as new. The materials feel premium, and there’s no wobbling or cheap parts. I’ve bought other lamps in the past that didn’t last this long. Definitely worth every penny for something built this well.
Gemma Blume

★★★★★
I ordered the lamp in September, and it was on sale for a fraction of what I’ve seen at other stores. I’ve been looking for a similar design, but this one was easily $150 cheaper without sacrificing quality. Amazing value for such a stylish product.

★★★★★
I live in Portland, and this lamp blends perfectly with my modern-industrial apartment. The matte finish and clean lines add such a polished look to my space. It’s both functional and a statement piece—my friends can’t stop asking where I got it!

★★★★★
I had a small issue with the instructions, but customer service was so helpful. They responded quickly, answered all my questions, and even sent me a video tutorial. Really felt like they cared. I’ll shop here again for sure.

I was dreading putting this together, but it turned out to be super easy. The instructions were clear, and I had it set up in less than 20 minutes without needing extra tools. Love when a product doesn’t give me a headache!
