Two good questions, and they're worth answering separately.
Yes, the Latigo Rattan Pendant Light is listed as compatible with sloped ceilings. And if you have a junction box and want a true hanging pendant with a small canopy, the Hardwire option is the right choice, not the Semi-Flushmount. The real question is not whether either option is hardwired, both are, but whether you want a pendant that hangs down from the ceiling or one that sits close to it.

Is the Latigo Rattan Pendant Light compatible with sloped ceilings?
Yes. The Latigo has an adjustable hanging cord compatible with sloped ceilings. A 9-foot slanted ceiling falls well within the range where this pendant installs correctly and hangs plumb regardless of the ceiling angle above it.
As with any pendant on a vaulted or sloped ceiling, the mounting point matters. The junction box should be positioned so the pendant hangs over the intended spot below, accounting for the ceiling angle when deciding on placement. Your electrician can confirm the exact positioning during installation.

What does "Semi-Flush mount" mean on the Latigo product page?
This is where the confusion usually comes from, and it's worth clearing up directly.
The semi-flush mount option on the Latigo is still hardwired. It connects to your ceiling junction box, just like the standard Hardwire option. The difference is the drop:
- Semi Flush mount: hardwired, maximum drop of approximately 9 inches from the ceiling to the bottom of the fixture. This is designed for rooms where you want the fixture to sit close to the ceiling. Think low-ceilinged rooms, spaces where clearance matters, or installations where a long pendant cord would feel out of proportion.
- Hardwire (Ceiling): hardwired, cord is fully adjustable up to 48", 120", or 180" depending on the option you select. This is the true hanging pendant configuration.
So, a semi-flush mount does not mean the shade sits flat against the ceiling like a traditional flush-mount light. It means the fixture hangs down, but only by a small amount, up to 9 inches total. The canopy sits against the ceiling, and the shade drops just below it.
If you were picturing a pendant with a visible hanging length and a small ceiling canopy, that's the Hardwire option, not the semi-flush mount.
If you have a junction box and want a hanging pendant, which option should you choose?
Choose Hardwire.
Here's the logic: you have an existing junction box, you want the pendant to hang from the ceiling, and you want a small canopy at the top. That describes the Hardwire option exactly. The canopy on the Latigo is approximately 4.8 inches in diameter, compact and unobtrusive, and the cord hangs down from it to the shade at whatever length you set during installation.
With the Hardwire option, you can adjust the cord to any length you need, from a short drop to a longer hang, giving you full control over how the pendant sits within your ceiling height and room layout.
The 9-foot ceiling height mentioned is straightforward to work with. For a dining table or kitchen island, aim for the bottom of the shade to sit 30â36 inches above the surface below. For an open space like a living room or entryway, a general clearance of 7 feet from the floor to the bottom of the fixture is a practical starting point.

Hardwire vs. Semi-Flush mount: Who should choose which?
| Â | Hardwire | Semi-Flush mount |
| Connection type | Hardwired to the junction box | Hardwired to the junction box |
| Maximum drop | 48" / 120" / 180" (adjustable) | ~9 inches |
| Look | True hanging pendant | Near-ceiling, short-drop fixture |
| Best for | Pendant over table, island, or open space | Low-ceiling rooms, spaces where clearance is limited |
| Canopy style | Small ceiling canopy with cord below | Small ceiling canopy, shade sits close beneath |
| Sloped ceiling compatible | Yes | Yes |
Choose Hardwire if: you want a pendant that hangs from the ceiling at a visible, adjustable length, the classic pendant look with a canopy at the top, and the shade hanging below it.
Choose semi-flush mount if you want the fixture to sit close to the ceiling with minimal drop, useful in rooms with lower ceilings or where a hanging cord would feel too prominent.
For your 9-foot slanted ceiling with an existing junction box, Hardwire is the appropriate choice for a hanging pendant.
Final recommendation
The Latigo Rattan Pendant Light works on a slanted 9-foot ceiling. If you want a hanging pendant connected to your junction box with a small canopy and an adjustable cord, select the Hardwire option and choose the cord length that suits your ceiling height and intended hanging position.
The Semi-Flush mount option is also hardwired and compatible with sloped ceilings, but it is designed for a near-ceiling installation with a maximum 9-inch drop, not for a true pendant-hanging look.
If you're unsure which cord length to order for your specific ceiling, reach out to the Rowabi team before purchasing, and we can help you work through the measurement.
