DIY: A New $60 Lindsey Adelman Pendant Light - Remodelista
Whether you live in a state-of-the-art loft or a tiny fixer-upper, chances are you’d like to have a Lindsey Adelman light dangling overhead. Photographs by Lindsey Adelman Studio. Presenting the Lindsey Adelman DIY Hanging Pendant, ideal for hanging over a small kitchen table or in a hallway or bathroom. The light hangs from a twisted cloth cord and is made from hardware store parts. Venerable New York store Grand Brass Lamp Parts sells a You Make Hanging Pendant Kit that contains all of the parts for $57; you can also source the parts individually from Grand Brass and others. The light angle is adjustable by a brass swivel at its elbow. All of the parts: the kit comes with 18 different items, including brass arms, socket cup, and swivel, and 12 feet of cloth-covered twisted electrical cord. To begin assembly, you need the following tools: a wire stripper, small Phillips head screwdriver, small slotted screwdriver, pliers (optional), and Loctite, a sealant. Assemblage underway: Adelman advises beginning by arranging all the pieces in place. “Please note that while it is possible to build the fixture yourself, it is much more enjoyable with a partner,” says Adelman. Loctite adhesive is used to secure the juncture points. Be prepared to do some wiring and splicing. The light hangs from cloth-covered wire cord (cut to whatever length is desired) and can be hard-wired into a ceiling or attached to a plug that you wire yourself.
