support the light.  
 
I am sure you could wire this to worrk some how but it probally wouldn't  
be legal, or safe. Best bet is to call an electrician, If there is an  
unfinished attic above the room than it would be easy to do, but if it is  
a 1st floor of a 2 floor home this will become difficult.  
 
Like I said you could make it happen but not with out it looking ugly &  
being unsafe
