What the AI looks for in Lighting Fixture Chains
- Load rating
- Use chain rated for at least the fixture's weight, and choose heavier-gauge chain for chandeliers Thin decorative chain can stretch open under load.
- Link size
- Links must be large enough to weave the fixture wire through This is how the wire is hidden and supported along the chain.
- Finish and length
- Match the fixture's finish and buy a little extra length Chain is easy to shorten but cannot be lengthened.
- Hardware
- Pair the chain with a properly sized loop or S-hook and close any opened links fully The connection points are where chain usually fails.
Brands that matter
- Westinghouse: Fixture chain sold in common finishes.
- Kichler: Extension chain matched to Kichler finishes.
What to avoid
- Decorative or craft chain with no load rating
- Leaving opened links unclosed
