Mounting Peninsula Wiring to the Ceiling

BoneDoc · May 1, 2021

Hi guys,

I’m planning on setting up a 150-180 Peninsula (either Red Sea 650 or Red Box 6025). I don’t want a canopy, so I was thinking of mounting them from the ceiling. But it seems that however ways I’m thinking, the wiring is going to look wonky trying to route it down.

So I was wondering if any of you ever route your wiring to the ceiling? And if so, any pictures for inspiration? Or is it just a dumb idea, lol?

Thanks,

Josh

In the electrical isle at the hardware store they should have some screw down cord holders. Cheap like .49c a piece or something.
Ive seen ppl screw a board to the cieling and moint their lights to that.
I would bend conduit pipe as needed and use it. Hths
Ive got links on pipe bending if u need em.

I would think you hang the lights and wrap cords around the hanging wire and then use some sort of paintable cord organizer to route it along the ceiling and down the wall.
