Fixing Decentralised Lighting over Dining Table with Long Base

7 years ago

Hello,


The current outlet over my dining table is at least one foot off of the center of my dining table. I'm thinking buying one of the lightings with a long base to conceal it. Is it a good idea?


I don't really know if its possible; the outlet would be on the far end of a lighting like this one.

    I would bet the wiring is in the center for that fixture , you might be better off looking at track style lighting where you can put the electrical at the end no problem or just a simple swag and any chandeleir you want
