Lighting Chains

Lighting chains connect your fixture to the ceiling while adding style, adjustability, and dependable support. Whether you’re hanging a chandelier, swagging a pendant over a kitchen island, or updating a foyer light, the right chain makes installation safer and more attractive.

Choose from welded steel, brass, stainless, or aluminum chains in finishes like black, oil-rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, chrome, and antique brass. Styles include straight link, oval, twisted link, jack chain, and decorative swag patterns to match traditional or modern fixtures. Many options are UL-listed and rust-resistant for indoor or damp locations, with outdoor-rated stainless choices for porches and patios.

Key benefits include adjustable drop length, improved load distribution, and a clean routing path for cord or fabric-wrapped wire. Pair chains with matching canopies, quick links, S-hooks, and strain-relief cord grips for a polished, code-conscious setup.

Selection tips:
- Check fixture weight and choose an appropriate gauge and load rating; pick welded links for heavier chandeliers.
- Measure ceiling height and desired hanging drop; add extra length for swag runs or sloped ceilings.
- Match finish and link style to hardware and trim for a cohesive look.
- Use threaded quick links for secure, tool-tightened connections.

Installation is straightforward with the right tools: lineman’s pliers or chain pliers to open and close links, a hacksaw or bolt cutter for trimming length, a drill and anchors for ceiling attachment, and a voltage tester for safe wiring. Always attach to a fan-rated or fixture-rated box secured to framing, then route the cord through the canopy and chain, finishing with a snug cord grip.

Maintain performance by inspecting links and connectors annually, tightening hardware, and cleaning finishes with a non-abrasive cloth. Explore our range to find durable chandelier chains, pendant light chains, and complete swag kits for your next lighting project with confidence.
