Where should I hang a hall lantern?

Most antique hanging lights have been adapted for contemporary electrical standards during their lifespan. You should have a qualified electrician inspect the internal wiring and fittings prior to installation. Original brass and bronze frames easily accommodate standard modern bulb holders with professional rewiring.
