CUSTOM FIXTURE MODIFICATIONS FOR A PERFECT FIT
Make Your Lighting Work for Your Space
Even the most beautiful fixture can feel off if it’s too long, too short, or mismatched with its environment. At Panache Lighting, we offer fixture modification services to help you adapt, alter, or resize lighting so it functions and looks exactly as it should.
We work with chandeliers, sconces, pendants, and other fixtures that need adjustment due to ceiling height, room layout, or evolving design goals. Whether you're redesigning a space or updating a fixture purchased elsewhere, our team ensures it’s proportioned, balanced, and safe.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Fixture Modification Service
We offer a range of structural and aesthetic modifications, including:
-
Lengthening or shortening stems, chains, or cords
-
Converting ceiling-mounted lights to pendants (or vice versa)
-
Adjusting sconce projections for narrow spaces
-
Replacing or resizing backplates and canopies
-
Adapting fixtures to fit U.S. junction boxes or ceiling types
Each project is tailored to your space and fixture, with a focus on maintaining the original design integrity while improving form and function.
When to Consider Fixture Modification
You may not need to replace a light altogether. A thoughtful modification can save money, preserve aesthetics, and make your lighting work more effectively in your current space. Common situations include:
-
Fixtures hanging too low in a newly renovated room
-
Mismatched scale in a smaller or larger space
-
Design refreshes where lighting needs to coordinate with new décor
-
Converting hardwired pieces to plug-ins (or vice versa)
-
Making a fixture ADA-compliant in commercial or hospitality settings
Whatever the reason, our team will help you adapt your lighting with both technical accuracy and design sensitivity.
Our Approach to Modifications
We understand the relationship between lighting, architecture, and interior flow.
When modifying fixtures, we prioritize:
-
Aesthetic harmony with room proportions and surrounding design elements
-
Structural integrity to ensure long-term durability and secure mounting
-
Electrical safety with updated components and code-compliant adjustments
-
Material matching when new parts are needed
All work is performed in-house at our Berkeley studio, using high-quality materials and UL-rated components.
