In this article, we will be showing you how to hang a chandelier without wiring. I will also show you how to hang your ceiling light without wiring and why it is done that way. This article has been written for those who are looking for non hardwired chandeliers or a non hardwired ceiling light solution.
Hardwiring a chandelier is dangerous and not possible in this case. For hanging, you’ll need to splice the wires of the light fixture to a heavy duty extension cord long enough for you to reach from ceiling outlet-to-outlet.
Install a hook to the ceiling for your new light. It is very important that you use a good quality hook and anchor it to a joist or beam on the ceiling. You can find different types of hooks at hardware stores, but I like this easy install heavy duty ceiling hook.
If you need to put a light on the wall, but there is not a stud or there is no stud where you want it, try putting hooks with wings. They can hold any lights that weigh less than 20 pounds if they are installed properly on an empty wall made out of plaster and lathe or drywall.
Once you have your light rewired and the ceiling hook put in, installation is simple. You can just hang the light fixture. But make sure that you think about how to cover up the cord. With your light from the ceiling, it will be easier to see the cord. I like to use a Velcro-On Chandelier Cord Cover so it does not show as much on my extension cord.
Next, you want to think about how your cord will go down the wall to an outlet. You can put it behind molding or around a picture frame. You will need paint for this. To do this, put plastic over your hand and then put an old sock over that. Put some paint in your hand and pull the cord through it, so now you have paint on one side of it. You can make sure that people cannot see the extension cord by painting it Wythe Blue which matches the walls of my house.
The light in your room will be different. You can turn on and off the new overhead light by plugging it in and unplugging it. To make this even easier, find a remote control for the light. This is called a wall switch and you attach this to your wall. The other part is an outlet that you plug into the wall and then plug your lamp into it so that when you use the remote control, it turns on or off according to what button you press.
In older homes, builders often don’t install an overhead light for a common space like the living room. It was fashionable at the time to have lamps warmly lighting the living room – but in today’s multi-purpose living rooms, people prefer a mix of lamps and an overhead light to fully illuminate the room when needed.
I wanted a switch near the door of my living room. Then I would not need to keep going over to turn on and off lamps. But the electrician told me that I can’t do this because there are old walls in my house. It took me a long time to figure out how to have my cake and eat it too. I found this easy way that takes a few minutes to do. Now when I flip the switch in the living room, both lights come on. This has been working for a few months now and I wanted to share with you how to do this too!
Swag plug-in pendant lights are the best way to get overhead lighting if you don’t have built-in ones. First, put a hook in the ceiling. Then, plug the light into an outlet on the wall. There are lots of different styles for swag pendants that you can use in every room!
Plug-in sconces and ceiling lights are a great way to add overhead lighting without wiring. They’re really easy to install, too! Just plug the light into an outlet on the wall and screw it onto your desired surface – this is usually either your mantle or fireplace.
I wanted more than my living room because I didn’t want to have to turn on all the lamps in my living room when it’s dark. But I didn’t want more overhead lights, either! So, I found a plug-in sconce that hangs from the ceiling and plugs into an outlet on the wall. It has two different light settings: bright or soft – perfect for any moods you’re in!

Take the hook that is on the end of the chandelier and put it into the bracket. Put this stem thing inside this other part that is hanging from your ceiling box. Cover it with a round piece of metal and tighten a screw.
