Searching for "pull down" dining fixture

10 years ago

We rarely use our dining area off the kitchen so for now I have a reading chair, table, etc there. I'm looking for a pull down/adjustable ceiling fixture that can be pushed up out of the way but pulled back down when the dining table is in use. I'm not sure of the correct "lighting" terminology for this kind of fixture. I don't find much when I do an internet search except for the 70's style space ship models....maybe they're just out of style?

    Look for retractable or pulley fixtures. Some of them look quite industrial, though.
