ᐅ Concealing or hiding light fixture cables on the ceiling

Hello,

we need to move the lamp above the dining table.

How can the cable from the lamp be hidden so that it is no longer visible afterward?

Or, how can the cable be concealed as much as possible so that a cable pulley system (or whatever it is called) can be avoided?

So that it will look good visually?

The ceiling height is approximately 2.5m (8 feet 2 inches).

My question was whether it would actually look good visually if we lowered the ceiling above the dining table in the dining room.

Just to lower the ceiling because of a single lighting outlet, when it’s only 2.50m (8.2 feet) high anyway? No way...

We have three connections above the dining table, but only two are being used. We had the third one plastered over. If we ever upgrade to a larger table, I can open it up and connect three lamps.

Otherwise, the classic solution is a spring cover.

It might be a bit "old-fashioned," but I still find these retractable pendant lamps great for poorly positioned wall outlets…

Living room with white leather sofas, wooden table, bookshelf, and open kitchen area.


In another spot, we solved it like this…

Bright living room with a slim metal rod as a ceiling fixture and four hanging cable lamps.

We want a lamp like that too.

There’s really no other way to solve it than the one you showed, right?

Yes, it would be great if someone could come up with a simple, brilliant solution for this problem…

The simplest solution is to plan accordingly. The next best "simple" solution is chasing and plastering. However, this involves more effort when working with concrete.
