Pendant Length Calculator

Choose your pendant type. We’ll show the exact length and our CCC Suggested Length (rounded up to the next whole foot).

Pendant type
Swag from a ceiling hook?
Not swagging? Leave this on “No” and the swag fields stay hidden.
CTO: Ceiling to Outlet (vertical distance)
HH: Hang Height (ceiling to top of light fixture)
SS: Swag Span (hook above outlet to hook above fixture)
SD: Swag Depth (dip below ceiling at middle)

Plug-In tip: This calculator assumes two hooks (one above the outlet and one above the fixture). Using only one hook? Set SS to the ceiling distance from the corner above your outlet to that hook. For a taut run, set SD to 0. For a draped look, increase SD.

V: Variance / Wiggle Room (adds to total)
