Definitely.

Sedef Ayverdi

It really depends on the slope’s direction and how well it aligns with a shorter chain if the slope runs along the fixture’s length.

Delia Vidal

Of course

Bratislav Polić

Oh yeah, I have the same fixture. Mine is hanging at an angle on a sloped ceiling. The chain links didn’t align perfectly, so I used steel wire on the top of one chain to level it out.

No content

Kader Fox

Alternatively, you can remove a few chain links from one side to even it out.

Bratislav Polić

I tried that. However, due to the odd angle, it still hung lower on one side. I had to remove half a link from the right side to get it level. Ended up using steel wire to create the right-sized link.

Kader Fox

That totally makes sense!

Konsta Ahola

I faced the same problem but managed to fix it by adjusting the pieces the chain connects to. One end had to be as high as possible while the other had to be as low as possible. Sometimes, I even had to trim a chain link to ensure it sits level. You can usually play around with the bracket that supports the canopy and get around 1/4 inch or more of adjustment.

Lisa Hubert

Yeah, if you’re good with math, definitely. And if you’re skilled at Jerry rigging things, then yes as well. But if you’re just hoping it’ll work without putting in the effort, then no haha

Deepak Visbeen

Sure, simply remove some links from one side

Vitomir Sidor

Yeah

Barbara Nelson

Is it recommended?

Nandita Namnaik

The concept of gravity is truly amazing

Carol Curtis

Oh my goodness, cut me some slack.

Bobby Simmmons

Yep, since it’s hanging from a chain. As long as the incline provides sufficient space for the fixture

Jacqueline Scott

Were there any children of this individual who survived?

Gabriella Howard

Just make sure to mount the base in a way that prevents the chains from being uneven due to the angle of the ceiling.

Fatma Süleymanoğlu

Yes, it’s definitely possible for those chains to work flawlessly.

Cílio Nascimento

Psh, whatever.

Molly May

With sufficient funds, an electrician can install any light in any location

Quirino Pires

Absolutely not! This should only be installed under a kitchen sink, not over it, only under!

Adriana Muñoz

Yep

Anna Moore

Sure thing, I just need to adjust the links to make it level.

Judith Grant

Thumbs up if you’re good!

Alice Novak

Is it possible for electricity to move up a sloped ceiling?

Lauri Salmela

Is all about paying attention to the direction of the wood grains or checking if they applied two coats of paint on the sheet rock. Can you believe that? 😆

Trudel Göbel

Just going down the slope. Electrons struggle to move against the current

Aida Valladares

Yup, adjust the links to lower either the right or left side

Lucas Larsen

You might need to adjust the chains to level the fixture. Are you wondering if it levels itself? 😁

Lia Campos

Release the chains and bend it again.

Nanna Jørgensen

Definitely due to gravity

Margaux Nicolas

Definitely can. Just grab a six-pack of your favorite beer on your way back from Home Depot or Lowe’s, your call. Then chug at least 4 cans for a steady hand. Next, use your forehead to crush the cans – the empty ones are easier. Use these cans as makeshift shims. Safely climb down from the aluminum step ladder, finish the remaining drinks, and appreciate your handiwork. Looks good from where I’m standing… Ha ha ha…

Aubrey Lo

Yep

Asher Turner

Yup! This one was a bit tricky since each light needed to be adjusted. You just have to use different lengths of chain on each side. Trial and error until it’s level.

Martin Nichols

I recently put up that same light. Unfortunately, it looks pretty bad because the frame lacks support, causing it to lose its square shape.

Ida Jensen

Negative

Barb Reynolds

Definitely, go ahead and keep in mind that safety is crucial as electricity can be dangerous
