Can the 4 foot tube be cut ? My roof to ceiling is only about 10 inches.

Yes. The tube comes in 2 separate pieces, they slide together, and then you cut off the excess at the top of the roof flashing unit.

Should be able to go right to the base on the ceiling. We made ours shorter too

There is not an extension tube available that I am aware of. If you were able to make something work, wiring will need to be lengthened as well.

I'm not sure you can make this a true ceiling hugger but I did cut the down rod shorter as it was going to be too low for my 8' ceilings. Just used a hack saw and drilled a new hole for the pin. It's aluminum not steel so it's easier than it sounds. I would guess you could cut in half before the wind flow started having a negative impact on it's stability.

Yes, there is no other way to do it. Hopefully your ceiling is not higher than 8 feet.

I think there is the possibility to make it shorter (pull up the cords inside the housing that attaches to the ceiling), however, you cannot make it longer. We have 12 foot ceiling and needed to extend conduit down about 2 feet to attach the light to in order to put it at a height that made sense.

If your ceiling is 8 feet or so, the chains are adjustable and at their full length should make it low enough to reach. My wife is under 5 feet and she can reach.

It will work only if you change the chains that hold the rack. We have a 9' ceiling and we installed it and it was too high. Went to Home Depot and bought some chrome/zinc chain that was a pretty good match for the original and cut 4 pieces to proper length.

I have vaulted ceiling though not very,very tall --- however, my handyman had to cut links out --- I think they give your plenty of extra chain. If you need exact length, I would probably write to the manufacturer. As you can see my date purchased, it was some time ago so I could not tell you how many links we took out but it was more than a few.

The cutting size of this light will be around 3 inches, therefore it can not be used for a 4 inch recessed ceiling can.

Sure it could be cut with a utility knife, but the stitching will un-ravel. I suppose you could duct tape the rough ends and hope for the best. It will be unsightly.Why not just go to the orange construction store and buy black foam pipe insulation for 1" copper pipe? You can cut it to any length and it will not have the issue with the seams.

if the tube walls are straight i see no reason they can,t be cut.if ends are tapered don,t cut

I think 4" tubing should be OK. I haven't cut anything except 2 3/8" drill stem but it looks like your tubing should work. I measured it right now and it does appear that it will be fine up to about 5 or 6 inch but, like I said, I have not tried cutting that size yet but I'm pretty sure it will work.

The unit has several tube that allow you to cut from about 6" long down to 1/2", but will it cut all the way down to a crew cut, I can't honestly answer because I don't cut mine that short. It appears that it will. Hope this helps.

NO, it will not work on a 10 ft reach. Even with an extension device, the suction power would be diminished. You should get a ladder and work close up.

6half feet. You can also cut one of the tubes as instructions indicate if to long.

I'll bet you could. What size is the shock cord currently running thru the tube, if if its 1/4 I guess it would, but you don't need 100ft. JN
