We do offer the fixture in a flush mount version that as an overall hanging height of 14" which is the closest it can hang to the ceiling. If you meant can it hang 5ft from the ceiling the answer is yes. You would then need purchase our extension rods that come in 2", 4", 6" and 12" lengths. These rods would need to be purchased directly on our website as we do not offer them for sale on Houzz.
