Three Major Issues

1) Where the power outlet is,
2) Where long the hanging cable would come out of,
3) How long the power wire and the hanging cables are. 

On the Skype this morning with China. As posted a last Tuesday, http://bit.ly/1dCgy56, I need the option to be able to have power either from top or bottom so I could plug it into a ceiling or floor outlet.

However, another thought came that, instead, the hanging cable--not the outlet jack--could be placed either on top or bottom of the panel. This leaves the option to make the cable longer or shorter as needed.
Diagram sent from the supplier with the
options he suggests.

Wrongo!

My supplier told me to forget unscrewing the unit, changing the hanging wire, etc. He said instead to send wire cable length requirements (Trenton's ceiling height is around 30 feet, others may be more) and he'll put outlets on both top and bottom. 

I suggested that, when I have accurate measurements, that we could order two power cords of different lengths for each unit, and that seems to be a workable solution.

Fine. At least I don't have to tear apart the unit. So the issues end up being nothing major after all.
