They were UL listed and I put up a few in my younger years but the OP is talking about a piecemeal installation: a light mounted on the ceiling, some cord poked into it (no junction box) and plug put on the other end. This was my concern. A swag would be fine. | |

With cable clips, it's a little simpler since you could just knot some parts of the cord near one of the clips so the tension isn't only on the terminations. | |
