I want to convert a candle holder lantern into a hanging lamp. It weighs 2.5 lbs. Will this cord set be suitable for this and hold the weight?

I think it will work cause the cord is like a standard size cord. It seems very strong.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but these shade have a wire clip on thing that goes directly on a standard light bulb so if this lantern or lanterns are regular light bulbs, I imagine it'll work okay.

Yes they will hold upto 200lbs per hang ring (total 400lbs) per set from what I have read. I have them supporting a trapeze bar from the ceiling.

We are using them in a public setting to protect rare and valuable wall hangings; weight has not been an issue. Sorry I can be more helpful.

I don't think it's heavy enough. I use it to hang scarves on. Perfect for that.

no if you have a wingnut or similar for your lightstand it will work to hold this on... although the weight alone should be enough

I don't know. We specifically bought the lamp for the purpose of using it with a chain. We looked everywhere (Lowes - Sam's etc.) and all of the lamps they had would have required a lot of work to hang them with a chain. So this is the ideal (inexpensive) solution to those who want to hang a lamp with a chain.

These cords weigh approximately 20lbs. I will have Amazon update our listing. Thank you.

it weighs 15.3 oz. When I set it in the palm of my hand, it is top heavy; however I've never had a problem with it tipping over on the table. The base is hollow and has a flimsy felt lining. But like I said in an earlier post, it's nice for dark spots on a table when you need the ambience. For the price I went for it, and my real complaint is the switch located on the cord.

I made concrete hexagon castings that were about 4'' thick and approximately 2" wider around the base of the lamp. I imbedded bolts into the wet cement spaced to fit the holes in the lamp's base. These ended up weighing around 40 lbs each; heavy enough to keep the lamp upright and still lite enough to pick up and move to a new location if needed.

That would depend on whether or not there is a frame of some sort capable of supporting the lamp. They are not very heavy.

don't know. but, i have noticed this lamps base is not heavy enough to support the lamp when placed in certain positions.

Honestly I'm not positive on the weight limitation but the set itself is very sturdy. I think the cedar beam I drilled into will probably fail before these hooks.If I had to guess each hook should support 150 lbs a piece.

It takes any kind of standard light bulb. However, if you are using this cord kit with a paper lantern a low wattage bulb is best because it can be a fire hazard if it overheats. (I have been using mine with 75 watt bulbs- no problems.)

This cord is strong but not of the strength required to hold the body weight of a fully grown person. It's thinner than a climbing rope and I would not trust it for that purpose. If you are not sure, don't buy it. Get more experience and KNOW what you need .

Yes, more than heavy enough. I'd say the base is around 50 lbs. I have my lamp fully extended and the base keeps it stable.

yes, however I would be careful of the weight I put in it. It should hold a small cordless.
