Fixtures installed on a sloped ceiling should use a special sloped ceiling recessed lighting housing so the beam of light shines straight down. The housing should be longer on one side to fit the slope (resembling a flour scoop) and is sometimes called a “shovel cut” can.
Keeping this in view, how do you hang lights on a sloped ceiling?
Sloped Ceiling Adapters Pendant lights and ceiling fans that use downrods can be modified to hang straight from a sloped ceiling by installing a sloped ceiling adapter. The adapters are designed to be used with some of the light's original hanging hardware and are typically installed between the canopy and the downrod.
Accordingly, what is the best lighting for vaulted ceilings?
Pendants and Chandeliers: Your best bet for lights when you have a vaulted ceiling is unique pendants or chandeliers. These fixtures will bring the light to a more human level in a tall ceiling like a vaulted one. You can choose bold pendants or a gorgeous chandelier to make a statement.
A sloped ceiling can also be part of a vaulted ceiling design. The vertical and horizontal spaces in your room will help guide you in working with your sloped ceilings. In older homes with smaller rooms, take advantage of your sloped ceiling to create a cozy sleeping or reading nook.
