I have built my own pendant light and I'd like some expert opinions that I've done everything right. Full pictures of the project **broken link removed** but the following are the specifics:
- There are 5 of these phenolic candelabra sockets.
- Lamp wire is 18/2 SVT.
- Light bulbs are 4x40- and 1x60-watt silvered crown candelabra.
- Sockets are wired in parallel using push-in connectors. I only had 4-hole connectors so I had to use a total of 4 connectors to get it all wired. **broken link removed**.
- Connection to power wires is with standard twist caps. Power wires are solid-core while 18/2 wire is stranded.
- Care was taken to wire hot-to-hot and neutral-to-neutral.
- Box in the ceiling is standard metal box with ground wire.
- Total weight of the light is ~8 lbs.
Let me know if you want any more info. Thanks!
