Lighting choice for roof lantern

To install the LED lights is incredibly expensive near £90 incl.vat. I also doubt how effective these LED bulbs could lit up the area.
Our house is very narrow. So the edge to be lit outside the roof lantern is only about a meter each side.
I'm thinking, instead of paying at least £600 to install 6xLED bulbs, would it be practical to set up two nice pendants hung from the roof lantern. I mean those cluster pendants.
AND the builder just told me our chosen type of roof lantern (contemporary, I. E. Less bars in middle) does not support hung down pendant as no way to hide the wire. I wonder if there's a creative way to do (still safe).
Any comment will be welcome.
Thank you!

Your link seems to be broken. I think that's because it's posted as an image link, but it actually goes to a web site, not an image. https://www.sterlingbuild.co.uk/category/roof-lanterns
How about not even trying to hide the light flex. There are all sorts of decorative coloured light flexes these days. But you would still have to have something fitted to the lantern to hang the flex from.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0
