Should I Get Corded Hardware or Downrods?Updated 2 years ago

Both types of fixtures are safe and stable so it really depends on what you are looking for visually. Downrod modified hardware has a larger visual presence than the corded option, so if you do not want to see the hardware as much then cord is a good option for you. Standard fixtures will include 4’ of adjustable cord per pendant. We also offer 8’ and 15’ upgrades for taller ceilings (usually recommended for ceilings over 11 feet tall). Cords can be cut to whatever length you desire. However, downrod lengths are non-adjustable. Our hardware is compatible with either downrods or cord, but not both.

If you are purchasing through our website, a downrod kit will be added for each downrod modified single pendant hardware in your order. A downrod kit includes one 6” rod, two 12” rods and two 15” rods for a max total of 60” of downrods.  We do not recommend using more than 48” of downrods as they tend to look a bit odd the longer they get. We also do not recommend using downrods on cascade chandeliers since their lengths are not adjustable and you will likely not be able to properly space the glass. If you have any questions about how many downrods you need, feel free to contact us here.
