Can anyone help me figure out search terms?

10 months ago

I am starting this post in hopes someone can figure out effective search terms - or who knows the answer - to something I need for having my chandelier installed by my electrician. The lamp will hang over my dining table from a chain, with a brass canopy at the electrical ceiling box. But I've been told there can be some sort of ul electrical disconnect plug that can tuck up near/above the bulb which will allow the fixture to be disconnected and then unhooked from the chain for removal if desired. It would need to be UL approved. FWIW, the lamp is an antique panel glass lamp. (I will be working and unable to check back until late this evening but hoping someone can help. I've spent a lot of time searching with fruitless results!)

According to ChatGPT

Correct Search Terms to Include

These are the phrases people in the electrical field use:

UL Listed Lighting Quick Disconnect

Chandelier Quick-Connect Plug

UL 2459 Disconnect for Luminaires

Lighting Fixture Quick Connector

In-Canopy Quick Disconnect for Pendant Lights

Luminaire Disconnect (LD)

“HID / LED luminaire disconnect” (same family of devices)

The most common type you are looking for is called a:

👉 “Luminaire Disconnect” (UL 2459)

Used to safely disconnect fixtures from the line voltage without unwiring wire nuts.

Brands include:

Ideal In-Sure™ Luminaire Disconnect

Leviton Luminaire Disconnect

Hubbell Quick-Connect for Lighting

These are inexpensive ($3–$8), UL-listed, and made to tuck inside a canopy.

Could your electrician be in charge of finding the part you need?

Thank you so much - you guys are awesome! I'll get to work on this right away, Cyn, my electrician would not use what apparently from likefridays list is a quick disconnect as it he said was not UL listed and unsafe. He wanted to hang it wiring it directly, but I discovered that it needs soldering in two places. The lamp repair guy has work ahead of mine. so that is buying me more time to figure this out.
