How to wire multiple pendant lights together

Track lighting allows you to hang multiple pendants with the freedom to move and position the lights anywhere along the track grooves. Ask your electrician about installation options. Niche pendants are compatible with Halo, Juno and Lightolier line voltage track systems. Niche can provide Halo compatible track connectors which your electrician can wire at the desired height. Before you can wire multiple light fixtures to a switch, you have to know how to do just one.

Every 120-volt circuit that powers lights in a typical home has two conducting wires and a ground. The other conductor is white. What others are saying I love these because you can use the single central ceiling light fixture hookup every room already has, and place bulbs where you actually. In short, the previous wiring looked like a simple wiring , except that instead of one wire from the box connecting to one wire from the light , there were two wires of the same color wrapped together from the box connecting to one wire of the same color from the light. I took out three wire nuts or caps in total.

We have the track light system from Lowes. I am sure you can use only two. The kit comes with three hanging wires and you buy the globes separate. You could use just two of the hanging wires and two globes. Multiple or cluster There are two basic types of arrangements when it comes to incorporating a number of pendant lights in the same area.

You can go for a cluster, a sort of tight mix of several pendants usually hanging from the same spot, or you could also just spread out pendants hanging from different points on the ceiling for an effect. Do the same with the white wires. If there is a ground terminal on the light , do that as well, otherwise just connect the incoming and outgoing ground wires together.

At the last light , just connect the incoming black wire to terminal on the light , and then connect the white wire. Next, connect the wires on your pendant light to the wires hanging out of the junction box, including the ground wire. Finally, install the mounting brackets or screws, and hang up your new light.

This short, informative video from VideoJug and Aspect Maintenance demonstrates how to safely wire a pendant light fixture. I know how to build a basic light fixture with one bulb, but would like to know how exactly to wire a lightfixture with or more bulbs (like a chandelier). I think it is called a parallel curcuit (when one light bulb goes out the other light bulbs stay on) as opposed to a serial curcuit?

Connect the Line (brown) wire to the SWL terminal, together with the lamps Line wire , and connect the Neutral (blue) wire to the N terminal. If you need more lights on the same circuit, switched from the same switch, you will have to repeat the process, by connecting the third light to the secon and if needed the fourth light to the third and so on. Only use a wire nut or, in the case of a switch or outlet, the screw(s) provided. Pendant lights are purchased separately from your multi- pendant canopy allowing you to create a custom lighting display.

Each pendant purchase includes a glass shade, cord set, and bulb. Hang the same glass silhouette in multiples, creating a uniform look, or mix and match shapes and colors to create a unique display. It’s just a short piece of wire , called a pigtail, that connects the group of wires to the ceiling wire. The pigtails are the wires with the yellow caps on. The group of wires have the red caps.

Next, run one length of 1mm² two -core-and-earth cable to the new light , and another to the switch. Connect the brown switch core to the circuit lives, its earth to the circuit earths and its blue core to the fourth terminal. Then add a length of brown PVC electrical sleeving to this core to show it can be live.
