An overhead lighting fixture is hung from an overhead structure (11) using a combination including a hanger (12) secured to the overhead structure, a chain (31) having a plurality of links with the top link (32) connected to the hanger, and a lighting device (17) connected to at least one of the links, usually the bottom link (33) of the chain. An electrical supply cord is made inconspicuous or hidden. This is done as it extends down from the hanger (12) through the center of the chain (31) throughout the length of the chain and entirely within an unobstructed space within the chain to supply the lighting device (17) connected to the bottom link of the chain. Another approach is a sleeve (57) encompassing the chain (51, 52, 53, 54) and cord (56) combination. The chain is such that, when hanging from the hanger, it is flexible in primarily two vertical planes perpendicular to each other but at least moderately flexible in all vertical planes.
