Light Fixture Installation After You Convert Recessed Light to Pendant

Installing a light fixture with a pendant light conversion kit is typically a breeze. However, the type and location of the fixture, as well as your design goals, can affect the complexity of your installation.

It is important to remember, however, that this has nothing to do with the actual recessed can conversion. It is simply due to the differences involved with the installation of the light fixtures once the pendant light conversion kit has been installed. When you consider that, it is probably no surprise to hear that converting your recessed light into a large chandelier would take longer than it does to convert recessed light to pendant.

As always, with any home improvement project and especially one involving electricity, if you are not familiar with your home’s construction, always seek professional help before you convert recessed light to pendant.
