Does anybody have a source for thinner lamp cord, that will fit correctly into add-a-tap plugs? The stuff you get at Lowes is too thick and doesn't fit right.
I was going to recommend the pre-made stringers, but I've used some and for lighting the outlets never seem to be in the right place.Those "tappy" things are okay for table lamps or string lights, but you have to get 18 gauge wire (not the ticker 16).
If you're looking to use these for work (uplights, etc.), I'll echo Steve or something as below.

I'm really thinking about downlighting, 1 fixture on the top of each 6X6 pole, at the 10ft mark (right beneath the metal trusses. I'll mount the electrical box right beside each fixture and use a 1ft nema cable to power each. I've also given some thought to cross-lighting. I'd still mount the fixtures in the same location, but instead of shooting the light down the pole, shoot it across the room to the opposing wall. I'd obviously lose the light column, but it would be a lot more wall wash (color).
Downlinghting also eliminates the possibility of someone tripping over the lights, or stealing them.
And it means no cords or wires on the floor, which is also safer. (and looks better)
If you mount the lights properly, you will be able to adjust them to be downlighting, crosslighting...
or to light up the cake table, head table, or some other feature.
