I plan to order three Mango Nouveau Pendant Lights (HS276) by LBL Lighting. But before I place my order for my pendant lights I want to make sure that I am not missing something important.

Here’s the details:
(3) HS276 Mango Nouveau Pendant Light with OP: Opal glass and MPT: 4inch FLUSH canopy + 75W Transformer (+40.00) = $150.00 x 3 = $450.00

This means that I am getting the glass light, wire, flush mount canopy and transformer, right?

Answer: Yes, you are correct! You will have the glass lights, lamps, socket-wireset, flush mount canopy and transformer for the three pendant lights. We can also send you the installation manual for your future reference.

Hello. I am planning to purchase an Emerson Apollo Ceiling Fan within the next day or two (w/o light kit). And I need to know the most basic wall controller that will work with that ceiling fan. Also, if the ceiling fan is manually set to rotate in either direction, do the controllers you would recommend cause it to default to a particular direction when the fan is powered on?

Answer: Hi. For the Apollo ceiling fan, we would recommend either the Emerson wall control (EM-SW46) or the (EM-SW95) Emerson wall control.

If the Emerson Ceiling Fan is manually set to rotate, for example, in a reverse (counter-clockwise) direction, then the two controllers I recommended will cause it to spin in reverse (counter-clockwise) direction as well. However, if you want a wall controller that has a reverse button, then you will need to get both Emerson wall control (EM-SW115) and Emerson receiver (EM-SW105).

Hi. Does this Outdoor Lamp Post (CM-Z8984) by Craftmade comes in white finish? I am looking for a white lamp post with photo cell & outlet and I can’t seem to find one in white finish.

Answer. Hello. The closest one that we have is the Direct Burial Lamp Post (CM-Z8994) with arms on the side and available in matte white finish. This Craftmade outdoor lighting also has a convenient electrical outlet.

Please be advise that lamp post head needs to be purchased separately.

Hi. I want to purchase three of the Andromeda Art Glass Pendant Light by Nora Lighting. I want all of them attached to my existing Monorail Lighting System in the ceiling. What mounting option should I order?

Answer: Hello. If you already have the Nora Monorail Lighting, most people pick the following mounting options:
Mount: NRS19-450S: Monorail 120V, 8.5′ cord, 40W G9 bulb (+$28)
The NRS19-450S comes with monorail adapter, 8.5′ cord and 40W G9 bulb. Please note that G9 bulb gives off very diffused, ambient light.

For focused light with MR16 Halogen lamp, the mounting option is;
Mount: NRS34-450S: Monorail 12V, 8.5′ cord, 50W MR16 bulb (+$75)
NRS34-450S has 8.5′ cord, 50W 12V MR16 Halogen, and an integral 75W transformer on the monorail adapter.
If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

I am going crazy trying to find pendant lighting fixtures for my bar. It seems that most pendant lights are too long. Can the stems of Quoizel Pendant Light (QZ-TFAV156VB) in many cases be cut to preferred size by an electrician? Please let me know.

Answer: The Quoizel Lighting Ava Traditional Mini Pendant Light (QZ-TFAV156VB) comes with (3) 12″ rod. You can use only 2 rods for your purpose, if needed. Thus, the overall height would be 51″ - 12″ = 39″ if you are only using 2 rods.
6″ rod (part# 9006-EX-VB) can also be purchased separately for $4 apiece.
Please also be advised that this pendant light is currently backordered until early August.

Is this ET2 Contemporary Pendant Light (E20203) complete with a canopy and cord? Is there anything else to order?

Answer: Yes. This pendant lighting fixture by ET2 Lighting comes with a canopy and cord. The max. height with the cord is 130″ and can be field-shortened. Please be advised that the height of the shade is about 12″ H x 6.25″ W. As of now, only the Amber Speckle glass shade is in stock. Click here to see the amber speckle shade.

I really like the Avalon Traditional Mini Pendant Light (item code DF-94630-AO) by Designers Fountain and need to make a purchase ASAP. However, I need to know if the length of the rod is adjustable. The height listed is 52.5″ and that hangs too low from the ceiling (9 feet) to the island. We would ideally like the lights to hang no lower than 3 ft from the top of the island. Can you please let me know if this pendant light will work?

Answer: The Avalon Traditional Mini Pendant Light has a TOTAL height of 52.5″. This pendant lighting fixture comes with three rods 6″, 12″, and 18″. You can use all three rods or you can use any of three rods together. We think this pendant light will work because you can use the 6” with the 12” rod or the 18” with the 6” rod. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
