The 8' cable length is measured from the pendant head to the counterweight, so the drop from the ceiling will vary depending on the position of the counterweight. Eight feet is the maximum drop from the pendant head to the ceiling, when the counterweight is raised all the way to the canopy.
15' cables are also available for these fixtures.
The listed cable length of Besa adjustable pendants is 8'. Since there is a counterweight, what is the true maximum length? Can longer cables be ordered?
