Ceiling Canopies

Canopy Light Fixture FAQ

What is the canopy of a light fixture?

The canopy of a light fixture is the decorative piece that covers the wiring where it connects to the ceiling or wall. A canopy for ceiling lights is typically used with hardwired chandeliers, pendant lights, and wall sconces to provide a sleek, finished look for your installation.

Does your canopy need to match the other hardware in your light fixture?

No! At Color Cord Company, we encourage you to bring your vision to life with a massive selection of modular products that you can assemble any way you want. You can pair a brushed copper canopy with a brightly colored metal shade, or ensure a seamless blend through every piece with hardware that has the exact same finish.

Are canopies only for ceiling lights?

No, a canopy for ceiling lights and one for wall sconces is actually the exact same piece. The only difference is that one is installed horizontally on the ceiling and the other is installed vertically on the wall. You can use a canopy light fixture accessory to complete your installation by placing a matching piece flush against the connection surface.

Do all canopies look the same?

Not at all! Color Cord Company features several examples of canopy accessories, including flat disks and rectangular options. We also have several finishes for single and multi-port selections, including black, white, polished copper, brushed nickel, and more.
