Switch it up! A lot of homes have recessed lighting. This can be a good or bad thing depending on your tastes. The people at Worth Home Products have come up with an interesting and easy solution for those that have recessed lights, but would prefer a different look...
Instant Pendant Lighting allows you to install a pendant light fixture without having to rewire. You simplly screw the socket adapter into the existing recessed light like a lightbulb, and then attatch a cover plate. It's also called a "Recessed Light Conversion Kit" and we think it could be a great solution for renters. You can use CFL bulbs and it comes in several styles. They also have a "Cantastic" light kit where you can add your own shade. They're available online at their website, and they have some styles available at Lowes and at Target. Prices go between $25- $60 depending on the style. Check out more at their website. Has anyone use one of these in their homes? We'd love to hear any first hand feedback.

If these were retractable they would be super-genius.

Sadly, it doesn't look like they're retractable, but from the looks of the innards they are adjustable. There's a little spindle where you can wind up the extra cord to make it shorter if needed, which is hidden by the end caps.

I have used these pendant lights before. They were actually quite attractive, but we did have a little issue shortening them and still having them stay tight and flush to the ceiling, after a little fooling around it did stay up and flush and they looked great! We had the ones almost like the picture above, but with a blue shade.

I bought 5 of these lights. They are absolutely awesome. I couldn't believe how easy they were to install, and they totally transformed my kitchen and living room for almost no money!!!!!
