If your answer to that question is no, then consider getting a light fixture hoist. A light fixture hoist is a lift system that raises and lowers light fixtures for bulb changing, cleaning, and other routine maintenance and remodeling jobs. In some cases, adding a light fixture hoist reduces personal injury and property damage caused by the use of a ladder. It also cuts operational cost by eliminating the use of a man lift.
With a light fixture hoist, you no longer have to concern
yourself with accessing a faraway light fixture. With the flick of a switch,
the turn of a key, or the push of a button, you bring the light fixture to you.
Light fixture hoists come in different grades for both commercial and residential
applications. Hoist are not only used for tall open areas where a grand entrance
chandelier will capture your attention. They are also used for a variety of
things, such as in a residential setting where a home owner likes to dust and
have the independence of replacing a bulb at any time without waiting for
assistance.
A light fixture hoist is something to consider when designing a new home. It is also something you can think about at any time, like during the remodel of an existing space, an addition, or should a situation occur where it is need and/or of value.
When considering a hoist, save some time and work directly with a lighting showroom/shop specialist and licensed professional (electrician, contractor, etc.). These professionals are aware of the safety hazards that can occur and cause a fixture or chandelier to fall, which could cause death, personal injury and/or property damage. Licensed professionals know the proper way to install a hoist, what cable safety devices are needed, and what are the maximum weight capacity options.
Professionals can also help you decide on a compatible controller for the hoist and light fixture, whether a sloped ceiling adaptor is needed, what is your light wattage capacity, voltage and wire required for proper power to operate the hoist and light fixture, and whether a dust cover for the hoist is needed (typically in commercial applications, but can add some value to the life of the hoist in residential application).
There is a lot to consider when thinking about getting a light fixture hoist. Think about the look you want to accomplish, safety, proper installation, and mechanics. This thought process will help you figure out how big and heavy your light fixture can be, which will help you decide on the correct fixture for your space.
