Consider a "track" on the ceiling. Attach track connectors to all pendant
cords. Gives you some flexibility in placement. Also allows you to easily
change lamp styles in the future.

I want to hang a group of 3 or 5 pendant lighting fixtures over a
dining room table. There is wiring in the center of the ceiling where
the current fixture is (this would be replaced by the pendants).

Is there an easy way to hang each of the pendants independently and
straight into the ceiling, instead of having a metal bar covering the
cords as they run along the ceiling into that center outlet?

Thanks for your input.
