Step 7Finishing Up
Put the base plate up against the base of the cone. The bottoms of most cones have radial ribs to lift them off the ground a little. Measure from top of the base of the cone to the bottom of the base plate, in this case about 2".
Screw hex nuts 2-1/2" down from the end of the threaded rods and add a washer. Put an acorn nut on the other end to make "feet". Stick them up through the base plate so the wood is resting on the hex nuts and washers. Put the cone on. Screw down tight with wing nuts and washers.
To change the bulb, you can undo the wing nuts, take the cone off, and reach up inside to unscrew it. Inside the cone, the free end of the cord and the fixture are both essentially dangling from the switch mount. If the light looks too low, take up the extra with a zip tie. if it looks to high, you're pretty much SOL unless you want to take the whole thing apart.
