Why you should choose the Vrida 2 extension arm 2m
- Firstly, the Vrida 2 extension arm 2m is suitable for anyone who has one ceiling socket but wants two pendant lights. For example, over a dining table or kitchen island. The distances between the pendant lights can easily be adjusted at any time between 38 cm – 150 cm and you don’t need to have new hanging cables between your pendant lights.
- Secondly, the Vrida 2 is for those who don’t like drilling holes in the ceiling. You hang the extension arm on an existing ceiling socket or ceiling hook, which means that you avoid any impact on the ceiling. The support end has a furniture pad and is not attached to the ceiling. The extension arm can be adjusted again and again without visible traces in the ceiling. You can easily dismantle the extension arm and use it in the next room or even the next house.
- Thirdly, Vrida 2 extension arm is a Swedish-made and complete solution where all cabling is integrated into the wooden extension arm. With Vrida you therefore avoid visible cables or adhesive residues from hanging cable strips in the ceiling. The first ceiling socket is placed directly under where the existing ceiling socket/hook is. The second ceiling socket is located at the end of the extension arm and can be rotated 360 degrees from the existing ceiling socket/hook.
In summary, the Vrida 2 extension arm 2 meter is perfect for those looking for a quality Swedish product with top-class function and design.
DCL – new EU standard for ceiling sockets
When you buy a Vrida, it comes with the new type of DCL ceiling socket which is according to a common EU standard that applies from 1 April 2019. Vrida extension arms fit both DCL ceiling sockets and other/older/previous types of ceiling hook/sockets that have the electricity near the position of the ceiling hook/socket.
When you order a Vrida extension arm, the following two products are included free of charge:
Lamp plug Grounded – Older standard SKU-5-250071
The lamp plugs are of both the new and older standard that are being used in Sweden and Finland. For other countries we recommend that you connect Vrida extension arm with the same procedure that you would if you connected a pendant lamp. This means that you as a customer can install the standard that you have in your home. Instructions for installing a lamp plug (both DCL and older standard) can be found here: Instructions for installing a plug
In some countries electrical installation work may only be carried out by a authorised electrical contractor. Contact your local electricity authority for advice.

(15 kg is a common maximum weight on a ceiling DCL socket). It is your responsibility to ensure that your roof outlet can handle the load. |
