I've bought the Made.com Billie triple pendant light - this one: https://www.made.com/billie-triple-...YxH3n-3n2IipWzOK9gRoCjecQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
It comes with a ceiling rose and an attached rigid metal stem, which screws into the triple arm pictured. The whole thing weighs about 3.6kg (metal structure, glass shades).
It turns out the stem is too long for the height of my kitchen. Ideally I'd like to just replace the ceiling rose and stem with a shorter version, but I'm having trouble finding something that would do the job. A friend was going to wire it into the ceiling for me, so while they are competent at electrics, I don't think they'd have the tools or knowhow to cut the stem and cut a new screw thread into it.
Has anyone done anything similar with this model?
Could anyone suggest my best options with this problem - where I might find a shorter stem (with screw thread that would fit the light) and corresponding ceiling rose - or whether it would be safe, with this weight, to hang the light from a fresh ceiling rose without the metal stem? I live in a ground floor flat so I can't get above my kitchen ceiling to look at what's in between the 1st floor floorboards and my ceiling...
Thanks very much in advance.
