Light Fixture Extension Cords

Light Fixture Extension Cords help you put light exactly where you need it without opening walls or running new conduit. From pendant and swag lights to shop lights, grow setups, display cases, garages, and temporary job sites, these cords deliver quick, safe, and adjustable lighting layouts for homes and businesses. Choose from lamp extension cords with inline switches, plug-in pendant light cords with E26/E27 or E12 sockets, grounded cords for heavier loads, string-light and open-socket cords, and linkable jumpers for under-cabinet and shop fixtures. Most support LED, CFL, or incandescent bulbs and many are dimmer compatible for fine control.

Benefits include fast plug-and-play setup, easy height adjustment for pendants, flexible placement during renovations or rentals, and reduced labor versus hardwiring. Look for UL or ETL listings, temperature-rated materials, and durable strain relief to keep installations safe and reliable.

How to choose:
- Length: measure the run and add slack for routing and drip loops.
- Gauge and amp rating: 18 AWG SPT-2 is common for lamps; 16 AWG or 14 AWG handles higher loads and longer runs. Match cord amps to fixture demand.
- Environment: indoor SPT-2 for living spaces; outdoor SJTW or weather-resistant jackets for patios and job sites.
- Socket and base: E26/E27 medium base is standard; E12 for chandeliers and decorative fixtures.
- Grounding and polarization: use 3-prong grounded cords for metal fixtures and tools.
- Max wattage and heat: confirm socket rating; LEDs reduce heat and current draw.
- Controls and accessories: inline switches, dimmers, smart plugs, cord grips, canopy kits, and swag hooks streamline setup and cable management.
- Color and finish: black, white, or clear cord options blend with décor.

Installation tips: support weight with hooks, not the socket; avoid draping over hot surfaces; keep connections dry outdoors and use GFCI protection; secure runs with clips to prevent strain.
