Plug In Ceiling Lights in Small Spaces

Are you living in a home with limited space? Dorm rooms, apartments, and condos are great for living economically, but they rarely give you creative light fixtures that can really make a space pop. Fear not! Color Cord Company is here with the most creative plug-in hanging light fixtures that you don’t even have to hardwire! Transform even the most compact space into something with pizzazz and character with modern living room light fixtures.

What is a Plug In Pendant Light?

Pendant lights, sometimes called suspender or drop fixtures, are single, standalone lighting accessories that generally hang from your ceiling while suspended from a cord or chain. You can use pendant plug in ceiling lights in multiples, hanging them in a straight line over kitchen countertops and dining room tables, but they’re also perfect for small spaces that need a single bulb in a reading nook or bathroom.

Why You Might Need Plug In Ceiling Lights at Home

Now that you know what a plug in pendant light is, you can put your knowledge to good use. Anyone who rents an apartment or house knows that it’s pretty much impossible to modify your home’s lighting too much. That said, it’s natural for your space to feel dark if you don’t have enough fixtures or if the fixtures your home came with don’t match your ideal aesthetic.

With plug-in hanging light fixtures and some easy-to-install swag hooks, you can turn any space into a creatively lit home. From the smallest cupboard under the stairs to an apartment in the heart of Hollywood, chic styles and fixtures are at your fingertips with a little help from Color Cord Company. Don’t believe us?

DIY Lighting

If you want to take the creation of custom plug-in hanging light fixtures into your own hands, we have a wonderful video that details the steps of how to wire your own plug-in pendant! Simply choose the components you’d like, watch the video on how to make a pendant light, and assemble!

While our projects are meant to be easy enough for the layman to complete, we still recommend that you always consult a licensed electrician before beginning any electrical project. Since each space is a little different and no wiring is exactly uniform, they may have additional insights that relate to your specific project. They can also answer all your questions about what a plug in pendant light is and how to incorporate one into your home.

Bulb types are completely up to you, as long as they’re compatible with the wiring and size of the fixture. Each fixture page will include details and specifications to help guide you towards an appropriate bulb

What’s the difference between a plug-in and hardwired pendant?

We explained what a plug in pendant light is already, but we didn’t talk about the difference between plug-in and hardwired. Any hardwired light fixture is one that’s wired directly into a junction box in your wall or ceiling, while a plug-in just needs to be plugged into an outlet.
