I have three recessed lights (put in by the builder, 5 years ago), that I would like to convert to pendant lights.
I know of three options:
- Portfolio conversion kit with light (, but limited shade selection)
- Well Hung LIght: 0 or so on line, large selection of shades
- The Can Converter (converter only): incl. shipping on-line (I know I’ve seen in Lowe’s, may be less there), PLUS the cost of the pendant
A couple of questions:
- any experience with any of these?
- would it make sense to get the cheaper Portfolio kit and then replace the shade (are the shades interchangeable with shades I might see at a hardware store)?
I’m not prepared to spend 0+ per light so the well hung light is likely out. Also, I’ve replaced many light fixtures, but I’m no Bob Vila.
Thanks
