hi Micheal, I actually returned this item because i thought it was the complete fixture. I bought a different light else wear. I believe on this type of light it just snappes into place. i hope this is helpful.

Mags,It is heavy, but any light fixture will hold it. The heavy part is the bottom glass. The length is for the steel cables that hold it, these are adjustable. You install the fixture and then adjust them. One thing that is not good with this fixture are the instructions for install, luckily I've done many of these before, took a while to plan for it but got it done. Overall, looks good but not easy to install.

I hung mine from the same chains as my old fluorescent fixture.I don't remember if it was set up for it or if I modified it.Either way, it was a cake walk to hang it from chains.

Yes, mine has a metal u shaped cover that attaches to the lower part of the fixture.

mine came with 2 clips that clip onto the fixture and have a hole to attach a chain and 2 more things that you screw in above it to also attach the chain to hang it

There are two triangle shaped hangers on the top of the light . I used wire ties and a wood rod. The light isn't very heavy and it worked fine.

There is a threaded attachment for the light fixture inside the shade about 1/3 the way in.

Hi Cathy. I have to admitt that I have not yet had the post installed or taken it out of the packaging. I am awaiting an electrician to install it. If you are referring to a hole or holes near the top end of the pole to secure the lighting fixture, I don't believe this model has any. I have another post in my yard that is many many years old and the fixture fits securely down over the post without need for screws or other attachent. I would think that if a hole is needed to secure a fixture one could easily be drilled with an ordinary driller and bit. Hope this helps!

The power connections are made from the base of the bulb socket. There are 4 threaded plugs that can be removed to allow wiring to enter from the sides of the base. There is one threaded hole on the bottom of the base for wiring access at the base of the fixture. The bulb base is secured to fixture base by 2 screws. These are accessed by removing the protective cage and unscrewing the glass enclosure that protects the bulb. This all sounds complex but is relatively easy once you actually see the enclosure. A word of warning, there are fitment issues with the glass jar that screws onto the fixture base. I found the Thomas & Betts MCL150C Metal Cage Ceiling Light Fixtures 150w far superior to the Sunlite VT100.

This light has the standard 1/2" male threaded fitting with a lock collar. You have to supply the mounting plate / fixture.

It has a bracket connecting to the light, with a bolt washer and nut to mount

You should have a little suctione cup with a handle that came with your light fixture. Suction it to the front of the bulb and turn counter clockwise to remove. Then insert the new one using the suction cup and turn clockwise

Very simple - the wire ring attached by 3 wires ro a big wire ring at the top of the shade is fixed on the fixture with a plastic ring ...

I just have hose clamps holding mine. But then mine is easily accessible should the attachment fail. With that in mind if you use adhesive then to fix a break or hose tear you would have to get a new fixture. I would suggest using the hose clamps first.

It attaches directly to the ceiling, the top part of the fixture is an electrical box. If mounting to just drywall you'll need hollow wall anchors.

On my lamp, there are two brackets mounted to the base of the bulb socket. They rise up on either side and around the bulb and come together above the bulb, form a little platform to which the shade is attached by a finial which screws into the platform.

I used this Bi-Pin porcelain lamp holder in a recessed (high hat) halogen light fixture. It didn't need to be mounted with screws. I removed the old lamp holder & replaced it with the new one. Then the MR-16 bulb plugged into the lamp holder. Then the bulb slipped into the cover for the light fixture. The cover had some clips on it & all I had to do was push the cover into the fixture. Presto !! Let there be light.
