Because swag lights are designed to be versatile, allowing for adjustable hanging heights, the length of the cable is a key factor in achieving your look. Essentially, you need at least enough length to allow for the light fixture to be hung from your chosen spot and plugged into an electrical outlet. A long swag light cord provides the freedom to position the light at different heights based on individual preferences and allows you to merge the lighting cord with your space - wrapped around pillars, hanging from coat racks etc. Our swag lights are available in any cable length to suit any setup, simply enter your preferred length when selecting a pendant kit option.
