Chroma Studio Duo and Strata Pendants - How to Assemble

Chroma Studio Color Block collection — modular pendant lighting by Color Cord Company

Some people pick a paint color and live with it forever. Others rotate their throw pillows with the seasons. If you're the latter — we made this collection for you.

Introducing Chroma Studio: a modular lighting system built around the belief that your fixtures should be just as intentional — and just as changeable — as everything else in your home.

Watch: Chroma Studio assembly & collection overview

One System. Endless Combinations.

Chroma Studio is designed from the ground up for people who don't want to be locked in. Whether you're drawn to a bold, curated color story or a single clean shade that anchors a room, there's a configuration that fits the way you see your space.

Start with one of our 10 pre-curated Color Block palettes — each one composed to work beautifully together straight out of the box. Or go single-color, choosing from 22 powder coat options to find the exact tone your room is missing. Mix, match, or keep it clean. The system supports all of it.

Built to Swap. Designed to Last.

The secret behind Chroma Studio's flexibility is the All-In-One (AIO) cord set — engineered to be compatible with nearly every shade in our lineup. That means changing your look when the season shifts, or when you just feel like it, is genuinely painless. No tools, no rewiring, no regrets.

It's modular lighting without the complicated manual.

Assembly in Four Steps (Yes, Really)

Tool-free, low-stress, and fast:

  1. Unscrew the socket thread cover from the AIO socket — this lets the non-threaded spacer ring slide right off.
  2. Slide your first shade onto the socket. There's a suggested order for each palette, but arrange them however feels right to you.
  3. Replace the spacer ring — hold the socket facing upward so the ring stays put.
  4. Slide on your remaining shade and screw the thread cover back on. Done.

That's genuinely all of it. Want to keep the instructions handy? Download the full assembly guide (PDF) to save or print for reference.

Hang It Your Way

Standard swag hooks are included so you're ready to go right away. Need something different? Alternative hooks and clips are available on our site — because even the hardware deserves to feel considered.

For bulbs, grab one from our website or pick up a standard E26 from your local hardware store. Either works perfectly.
