Ahhh Yes... #4

I need to hide the hanging portion of the light. If anyone has any ideas let me know. I have been thinking about drilling a hole in the hanger and feeding the cable through it... It's not a clean look right now. I want this build to be as clean as possible. Im not too worried about the power cord, just that cable. I don't want to cut the cable for future adjustments either, mind you I can leave some cable there as there won't be too much adjustments, but I would rather be long than too short.

Can you bend it? I know you can, but is there an issue with feeding it back through the mounting hardware. The adjustment hardware seems to hold it via the "spiral" of the cable. Maybe I'm wrong, but pulling it up it slides through but pulling it down has to be done with the push release in the hardware.....

I just looked at the photos again. Can you replace the overflow grid with a piece of slotted acrylic? Make the piece removable so you can clean it. That egg grade has openings that are too large (IMHO)
