Use a drill bit and trowels to make a 1-1/2" hole in the bottom of the basket. If you opt for a plug-in application instead of a hardwired application, this will allow for the proper width for a plug fits through the hole, then plug it into an outlet.
About two inches from the socket of the pendant kit, cut the white cable jacket with all-purpose wire strippers.
Use multi-purpose wire strippers to cut through the sheathing of the wire to expose the wires.
Slide exposed cable through galvanized metal conduit and roof deck.
Insert the cut socket and cable into the basket.
Use butt splices and multifunctional wire strippers to join the socket portion and the long shrouded wire portion of the pendant kit.
Use electrical tape to firmly hold the two parts of the wiring harness together.
Unwind the string from the spool, then use a hot glue gun to tie off the end.
Cover the galvanized metal duct and canopy with rope using a hot glue gun and glue sticks. Because there is a pre-drilled screw hole on the roof deck, it is better to wrap the deck with rope after it has been installed on the roof.
Screw the bulb into the socket.
For a diffused look, consider adding a ready-made diffuser to the basket opening using finishing screws and a drill. A DIY version can be made from a 24" x 24" sheet of acrylic using a jigsaw, then lightly sanded with fine grit sandpaper.
