DIY Recessed Can Light to Pendant Light Conversion
There's a room in my old bungalow with high ceilings and extremely inadequate lighting. I use this room as an office, and it has a small loft, so the current lighting doesn't cut it. This room came with three recessed "can" lights that fit bulbs with a maximum wattage of just 40W. They were very '80s and yellowing eyeball-style lights.
I decided to replace these lights with some hanging glass pendant shades that allow light to travel to the ceiling, maximizing light output while maintaining a cool '20s feel. In this guide, I'll show you how easy it is to upgrade your recessed ceiling can lights to hanging pendant lights.
