"Lighting is often needed in a certain place in private rooms or in commercial premises, even though there is no direct access to the power supply. The power outlet is not exactly above the table and positioning it here would look unsightly. So you have to move your lamp. Ideally, this is done using the so-called "monkey swing"."
Attach the monkey swing lamp in any position using spacer hangers
Modern and aesthetic spacer hangers that you can use for monkey swing lamps, for example, redirect textile cables or PVC power cables to the spot you want for spot lighting.
Moving a pendant lamp is especially important for living areas, but also often essential for bedrooms and offices if the dining table or living room table underneath is not sitting properly or if you want to retain a certain flexibility (for example, if a different table size might come along after a while).
Which lights from our own brand s.luce are suitable here?
In principle, all lamps with a textile cable or transparent power cable are suitable. We have extra steel cable holders in our range for steel cables.
For example:
The skapetze® own brand s.luce has the advantage, however, that all s.luce luminaires can be combined and customized as desired. We create modern multi-flame pendant luminaires exactly according to your wishes. Here is an overview of the s.luce pendant lightsthat we can put together exactly for you as a monkey swing. Just ask!
What kind of spacer hangers are available for a monkey swing lamp?
There are several ways to move a ceiling light using the monkey swing. There is often no cable outlet on the ceiling where you want to connect a pendant lamp.
A monkey swing lamp is therefore very helpful here. A so-called branch canopy made of metal is suitable for moving your ceiling lamp.
This has an opening at the side through which the supply cable can be routed to the desired location to move the hanging lamp. Finally, the cable is fed through the Distance hanger so that your hanging lamp can hang down in style.
The matching canopy for your monkey swing lamp individually manufactured by s.luce
Your multiple pendant lights in the form of a monkey swing lamp are only as beautiful as the matching ceiling canopy on which all the pendant lights run together. We have dedicated ourselves to this topic at skapetze® and offer in our online lighting store individually manufactured ceiling canopies from our brand s.lucewhich allow you to create incomparably beautiful multiple pendant luminaires with minimal effort.
These canopies can be used to minimal effort any luminaire with its associated transformer.
Alternatively, a suspension system is possible, which is often used for chandeliers/chandeliers. This is a modular canopy . Here you can up to 30 luminaires on a single canopy. can be suspended from a single canopy.
Once you have decided on the pendant light of your choice and your favorite canopy, a spacer hanger can be attached to the ceiling at any point during installation, allowing for at least one individual monkey swing lamp.
However, if there is no connection at all for a ceiling lamp on the ceiling, the electric cable (textile or PVC) for a monkey swing can be elegantly rerouted to the ceiling.
This is possible with the help of plugs / switches via sockets located on the wall or floor. Modern distance hangers are also ideal for guiding the cable. In order to completely fix lamps with monkey swing, a correspondingly strong attachment to the ceiling is required.
NoteTo avoid damaging other cables by drilling into the ceiling, we generally recommend using a cable finder beforehand. Ask your electrician about this.
Moving the ceiling lamp - different materials and load limits of the monkey swing
Distance hangers (monkey swing) that are suitable for a monkey swing ceiling lamp are available in various materials, including pure brass, coated in white and black, chrome, copper and nickel.
When properly fixed, distance hangers can withstand a load of approx. three to four kilograms can withstand. However, this load is not permitted for live cables that do not have a supporting element.
The load limit of this monkey swing (cable holder) is approximately 1.8 kilograms if the permissible electrical cables (with/without supporting element) are taken into account.
Lamp cable for distance hanger
Moving a hanging lamp or installing a monkey swing lamp normally involves standard household and office lamps that have a classic cable/conductor cross-section of 3 x 0.75 square millimeters.
The maximum outer diameter may therefore only be around 6.8 millimeters. This normally corresponds to a two-core and three-core textile cable or PVC lamp cable.
With s.luce you have the advantage that we can equip your desired light with your favorite cable. Whether black, red, white or any other color, we build your pendant light as a monkey swing light according to your wishes.
