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 simplest solution is to plan appropriately.

For example, we planned very precisely, but later found that moving the table 30cm (12 inches) over worked better... Similarly, in the living room, the plan showed the table positioned differently with the outlet perfectly placed. In real life, rotating the table by 90 degrees looked much better. I find making slots in concrete really not easy... I’m still hoping for a brilliant invention for this 😉

The lighting outlets have prevented me for years from getting a different dining table. I have great ideas in terms of width, depth, and shape (Team7 has some excellent extendable tables) ... but the basic shape and extension simply don’t fit my current two properly positioned lighting outlets. My old table is getting more worn out year by year anyway 😉. It’s ideally placed, but the replacement shape that would be perfect for me no longer matches the lighting outlets. Well, first world problems.

I am still in favor of a solid rope swing. It looks much more natural and therefore less conspicuous than a cable duct, which visually stands out due to the shadows it casts.

It definitely has something… but the problem remains, even more so, with so much minimalism.

Even if the effort to chase a concrete ceiling is accepted, the structural integrity of the ceiling must be strictly considered. If the lower tension reinforcements are damaged during chasing, the structural stability will no longer be ensured. So it’s better to avoid it altogether.
