I hav a mini stealth de pendant... Lumenarc
what from experience is the best way to hang these so they are adjustable, and also has a sleek look to it ? Will be installing over a rimless cube
Any ideas appreciated or if anyone has anything lying around that could work and want to sell ... let me know.
Thanks

Used some 3/4 electrical conduit (about $3 for 10 feet), a $10 pipe bender off of ebay, some spray paint, some nuts and bolts, and zip ties for this one. I used the brackets (same section as the conduit) to attach the pipe to the stand. I can adjust the height of the light, by loosening the brackets just a tad, and sliding the conduit up/down. I can also just "swing" the light to the right or left if I need it out of the way.

I used a very small stainless steel cable (about 1/16" inch or less) and put a butterfly anchor in the ceiling with an eye hook (about 1/4" dia).
this is virtually unseen due to the very small size of the cable. you can use picture hanging wire, just make sure its stainless.

I tied it in a couple of knots, you can also do it like you would the rope on a boat or dock cleat.
