Home Improvement Asked by Norah on June 19, 2021
I bought a "Brushed Nickel" ceiling fixture to hang over my dining table, but it did not come with a long enough chain or wire.
I found the chain & two strand "lamp" wire in "brushed nickel" at Lowes, but they only had copper coloured ground wire, which will look odd where it weaves through the chain to attach to the plate on the ceiling.
Can I use one of the following:
Or any ideas where I might find something appropriate to use as a ground in "silver" colour?
Thanks very much!
You could get tinned (thus, silver-colored) bare copper wire of the proper gauge from an electronics supply house. This is commonly available.
Evidently there is also nickel-plated copper wire available, but it's far less common.
I think you could also use twice as much of the "lamp wire" in the color you like, using the extra "lamp wire" as a grounding wire, but there might be some subtle reason that would not be OK I haven't thought of.
