First a warning - Mains is dangerous!
If you are not competent with electrical wiring get an electrician to wire this for you.
Use with LED G9 lamps ONLY.
Printing:
This is printed with premium PLA (Raise3D) which has a higher glass transition temperature than standard PLA. Print the chains first, you need three of them. Next print three Chand5 parts. When they are 3/4 printed loop the chains in so they finish printing with the parts on the ends of the chains. Part Chand7 should be rotated 180 degrees so the 3 loops are on top and printed with raft and support. Again, when the loops are high enough loop the other ends of the chains to the fixture so that Chand7, three chains and three Chand5's are all one fitting.
The remaining parts can be printed in any order.
The G9 lamp holders came from http://stores.ebay.co.uk/discountcdrom/
The ceiling fixture (Chand6) is designed to fit 8mm Terminal strips such as these:http://uk.farnell.com/hylec/hyks-02412pp/terminal-block-barrier-12pos-12awg/dp/2056626?MER=bn_search_2TP_LastViewed_1
If you want to use dimmable G9 lamps make sure you purchase ones marked as dimmable from a reputable source. You will also need to purchase a dimmer that is designed for LED lamps to avoid flickering. I used a varilight v-pro dimmer.
