"Lighting is often required at a certain point in private rooms or 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"."

What kind of distance hangers are available for a monkey swing lamp?
There are several options for moving a ceiling light using the monkey swing. Often there is 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.

The matching canopy for your monkey swing lamp individually manufactured by s.luce
Your multiple pendant lights in the shape of a monkey swing lamp are only as beautiful as the matching ceiling canopy on which all the pendant lights run together. We at skapetze® have addressed this issue and offer individually manufactured ceiling canopies from our brand s.luce in our online lighting store, which allow you to create incomparably beautiful multiple pendant lights with minimal effort.

Moving the ceiling lamp - different materials and load limits of the monkey swing
Distance hangers (monkey swing), which are almost indispensable for moving a monkey swing ceiling lamp, are available in various materials such as pure brass as well as with surface colors coated in white and black, chrome as well as copper and nickel.
When properly fixed, distance hangers can withstand a load of around three to four kilograms. 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 pendant lamp or installing a monkey swing lamp usually involves commercially available household and office lamps that have a classic cable/conductor cross-section of 3 x 0.75 square millimetres.
The maximum outer diameter may therefore only be around 6.8 millimetres. This normally corresponds to a two-core and three-core textile cable or PVC lamp cable.
