LIGHT CAGE UPDATE FOR OLD SOFFIT LIGHTING $28 - TUTORIAL

I'VE HAD UGLY OLD SOFFIT LIGHTING

ABOVE MY SINK IN MY MAIN

BATHROOM SINCE I BOUGhT MY HOUSE

IT LOOKED EVEN WORSE THAN THIS!

I FORGOT THE BEFORE OF MY

SOFFIT LIGHTS BUT I'M SURE YOU

ALL KNOW WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE!

UGLY

I DECIDED THAT I WANTED SOME KIND OF HANGING 

PENDENT LIGHT IN IT'S PLACE

I WENT TO LOWES AND

BOUGHT THIS LIGHT KIT FOR

$20 DOLLARS

AND I GOT IT IN THE 

OIL RUBBED BRONZE FINISH.

I HAVE TWO LIGHTS ABOVE MY

SINK SO I HAD TO BUY 2 KITS.

THEY ARE VERY EASY TO INSTALL, THE

KIT HAS A SOCKET THAT SCREWS

INTO YOUR OLD RECESSED SOCKET AND

THEN YOU ADJUST THE CORD TO THE

LENGTH YOU WANT.  

SO THAT TOOK ME UNDER 45 MINS,

AFTER READING THE INSTRUCTIONS

AND STUFF. IT WAS A REALLY

FAST FIX.

I WENT TO LOWES AND LOOKED AT 

THE GLASS PENDANTS THAT 

I COULD HAVE PURCHASED BUT

I WANTED MORE OF AN INDUSTRIAL

LOOK AND I WANTED IT TO BE OPEN

TO GIVE OFF MORE LIGHT.THE

PENDENT LIGHTS ONLY TAKE THE

CHANDELIER BASE BULBS AND THE

HIGHEST I'VE SEEN 

THOSE IS 60 WATT.

BROWSING ON THE INTERNET I 

SAW THESE AT GRAINGER- IT'S 

A TOOL AND INDUSTRIAL WORK STORE.

AT $8.00 I KNEW I FOUND

WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

HERE IT IS

IT COMES WITH 2 SCREWS THAT 

GET SCREWED INTO THE TOP OF

THE CAGE TO TIGHTEN IT.

THIS IS THE ITEM NUMBER IF

ANY OF YOU DECIDE IT'S 

YOUR STYLE!

SO YOUR PENDENT LIGHT

KIT COMES WITH A CERAMIC

PIECE THAT SCREWS ONTO 

WHERE THE LIGHT BULB GOES

TAKE THIS OFF ...

AS YOU CAN TELL BY

MY WONDERFUL DIAGRAM THE

RING GETS FITTED INTO THE

TOP OF THE CAGE AND THE 

SCREW GO IN AND TIGHTEN TO

HOLD THE RING IN PLACE.

YOU THEN JUST SCREW THE CAGE

ONTO THE FIXTURE AND YOUR DONE!

EASY PEASY

I LOVE THE NEW LOOK

AND I'M HAPPY WITH THE

WAY IT LOOKS. 

IM IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THE 

MIRROR THAT GOES ON THAT WALL

BUT IM NOT SURE IF I SHOULD

KEEP THE MEDICINE CABINET AND

PAINT IT OR JUST GO WITH A 

MIRROR. WHAT DO YOU THINK

ARE MEDICINE CABINETS OLD

FASHIONED OR THOSE WHO JUST

HAVE A MIRROR, DO YOU MISS 

NOT HAVING A MEDICINE CABINET

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK
