Chicken lights

So I'm wandering around Home Depot looking for very simple stainless pendant lights for the store when I come upon these "brooder" lights. (Brooder lights are used to heat henhouses...I think.) If I thread them with the same heavy chain I'm using to hang the doors from the ceiling, I think they'll look cool. Plus, they have matching smaller clamp lights for highlighting other areas of the store. Perfect!

But my workers think I'm nuts. They finally bought into the concept of doors on the ceiling, but they think chicken lights are nuts?! I don't quite see the problem. I think they'll just have to see it to get it. Or perhaps these lights will look stupid and I'll get something else. At 12 bucks apiece though, you gotta admit it's a pretty appealing lighting solution.

And...ta da...the doors are done. We decided heavy chains and hooks will indeed do the trick for hanging them. Since we have to sand the floors and that will make a LOT of dust, we'll probably hang the doors last. That's too bad, because I just can't wait to see how they look!
