Hello to all,
I have a regular customer (GC) whose wife has found an ancient old light fixture that she would love to hang over their dining room table. For lack of a better description, I would call it a chandelier that is made from a block of wood and has iron(?) arms that extend out from it with a light socket at the end of each. I was unable to find any markings on the fixture or sockets, but it appears that they were meant for use with small base chandelier bulbs. Naturally, there was no manufacturer name or UL listing.
When first introduced to the fixture, I advised against using it in its present condition as the wires were in horrible condition and I didn't like the way they were routed along the fixture. Unfortunately, I didn't see a way of re-wiring it that I would be comfortable with (for safety and aesthetic reasons).
I was wondering, have any of you seen a low voltage conversion kit that could be used to re-wire an old light like this? I don't recall ever seeing any kits like that, but it seems that it could be a safe alternative for re-wiring an old fixture instead of using line voltage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
