Hello everyone, we originally planned only one ceiling connection in the dining room, but now we want to install two ceiling lights there. The idea is to have the lights hang over the dining table, one over each half. We are looking for a way to achieve an elegant and stylish cable management. A standard plastic cable conduit is only an emergency solution. The ceiling lights have already been chosen. They will be the Ikea Hektar. Best regards, Alex

This is how it looks:

Several pendant lights hang from a warm LED strip on the ceiling, next to large windows.

Hello everyone,

sorry for getting back so late. Somehow, I missed that there were new replies here. To be honest, I don’t know if the ceilings are plastered and how thick the plaster is. On the walls, it’s about 20mm (0.8 inches). At the moment, the cable duct solution is preferred. The solution from One00 also looks quite good.

Regards,
Alex

We had the same problem... This is our solution... We threaded the cable to the second lamp through a thin aluminum tube.


Two metallic pendant lamps hang over the dining table in the kitchen next to a window.

I also think it looks quite nice. Is the aluminum tube suspended in the air? What kind of lamps are those?

The lamps are quite old, picked up from the hardware store about 15 years ago. They used to hang separately... but at some point, the lighting over the dining table was too dim, so we hung both lamps in a row. The aluminum tube “floats” about 3 cm (1 inch) below the ceiling and is inserted into the lamp sockets (the aluminum parts where the cables are concealed). For that, we drilled a hole in each aluminum lamp base. Best regards, Steffi33.
