Default Close, but no cigar. . .

In a house we bought, pendant lights had already replaced the counter bar can lights, but when I wanted different pendant lights, the standard canopy that came with the new ones was too small for the original can light hole.

Canopies can be bought separately, which is what I did, but it took me a while to find one that was not too small by a maddening inch or so diameter.

I think the canopy I finally had to settle for looks too big — so I just don’t look up. Besides, it’s better than seeing the edge of the original hole or having to patch drywall.

Maybe your pendant light will come with the right size canopy. If not, happy hunting to you. Canopies are everywhere but most needed to be just a little bigger for our project.
