00:00Okay, so you're finally building that DIY pendant light, and you've got the cord,
00:04the socket, the shade, but you're staring at a bare wire hanging out of your ceiling and thinking,
00:08I need something to make this look finished. That's what a ceiling plate does, and honestly,
00:13picking the right one changes the whole vibe. I went down the rabbit hole and found the top
00:185 ceiling plates for DIY pendant lights, and these are actually worth your money.
00:23First up, we've got this 120mm ceiling plate that comes in basically every finish you could want,
00:29black, white, silver, gold, even brass. What I love about this one is the size.
00:36At 120mm, it gives you plenty of coverage, so if your ceiling cut isn't perfectly clean,
00:41it hides all of that. It's a wall sconce mount too, so you can use it on the wall or
00:46the ceiling,
00:47which is super versatile. At just $5.92 and with almost 5,000 sold and a 4.8 rating,
00:54this is a no-brainer if you want that vintage pendant look without overthinking it.
00:59Next, if you're going for something warmer and more natural, this wooden ceiling plate
01:03is gorgeous. It comes in 10 or 12cm, and the wood grain just adds this organic,
01:09modern touch that metal plates can't match. It's perfect for a Scandinavian-style pendant
01:14or anything with a fabric cord. For $6.07 and a 4.7 rating with over 4,500 sold,
01:21it's a small upgrade that makes a big difference in how custom your light feels.
01:26Now, if you want the best-rated option on this list, this metal chandelier plate has a perfect
01:315-star rating. It's a 10cm fixed base, and it's built for that retro, industrial pendant look.
01:38The metal is solid, the finish is clean, and it just does exactly what it's supposed to do without
01:43any fuss. At $4.68 and with over 4,400 sold, this is the one to grab if you want
01:51zero complaints and
01:52a classic look. Okay, this next one is for the people who want options. This multi-size ceiling
01:58plate comes in black or white, and you can get it with 2, 3, 4, or even 5 holes so
