So I replaced it with something with a bit more clearance.
Naturally the wiring had been half-assed by the previous owner. Here's a list of boneheaded fuck-ups:
- No strain relief clamp on the new wires entering the box.
- Fixture ground wire left just swinging in the breeze, ground screw on fixture mounting bracket left completely untouched.
- White return wire from remote switch not marked with black electrical tape.
Anyway, I didn't think to pick up a strain relief clamp when I was out, and installing it would have meant crawling around in the attic, so I left that deficiency to fix at a later date.
In the meantime, I found an appropriate place to put the cheap, ugly chandelier.
