Just installed some hampton bay pendant lights. They hang down from the ceiling about 3 feet. The thin power cord between the ceiling box and the light fixture is a little twisted from being rolled up in the box. Is there a good way to straighten that cord out? Thanks

I sometime lay them in the sun to soften up.
You can also try a Hair dryer, but not too hot.

Just let it hang! It will be perfect in no time.

I tried out Stratmando's Hair dryer suggestion and it worked very well. Thanks

They do straighten as Stan mentions, if they are several pendants and you are trying to level, is is a little nicer not to have to wait.
Thanks
