How far apart are the two mounting holes that attach the mount to the ceiling? If they are too close for both be be in a joist is that OK?

If you are worried about the joist splitting, you should predrill the holes for the screws ...which you should do anyway. It makes the screws or bolts go in much easier.

You probably have to answer that one for yourself. The bottom 2mount holes are @2 3/4 inches apart. I put mine on a piece of aluminum angle I fixed to the top of the mast. Its pretty straight forward installation you just got to dream up the method on your own. Light works great though. Perfect anchor light, and about 1/3 what I would have paid from WM.

My ceiling has 2x6 joist which wasn't wide enough to receive all 4 screws from the bracket. I thought about only installing two screws opposite each other but because it was outside, I went in the attic and screwed two pieces of 2x4 or 2x6 to the side of the existing ceiling joist and all four screws mount to solid wood. To answer your question, the mount is at my summer home so I can't measure but I estimate the screws are approximately 4" apart since the width of 3 2x6 is 1.5x3=4.5". Hope this helps

Not to far apart. I have a pair of KCs mounted and there is about 1 1/2 between them. 8 inches from center of hole to center of hole.

The mounting bracket is about 6 1/2" wide and 7 3/4" long. The holes (4 across) seem to be about 2 inches apart. My handyman installed using 2 of the holes top and 2 across the bottom - like the 1st and 3rd holes.

Yes, it is built to be close to the ceiling. If you want it to hang low you probably need and extension or buy a different mount.

The mount lines up with 12 or 16" spaced studs. Mine were 24" apart so I had to improvise a bit.

Hi Neil, I just installed 2 of these, one in the master bath and one in the guest bath. The distance between the 2 mounting plates could be as far apart as 26" (on center). Ours is at 25" but you could bring them in a little closer to 24" so my response to your answer would be yes. I hope this helps!!

This is not standard mount system, you have 3 screws, but in the ceiling only 2 wholes (I least I had only 2). We mounted to those 2 and did the third whole directly into ceiling, otherwise it will not hold it right.

Yes you can. The device is recommended to mount between 8' and 12' ceiling.

You can also call the manufacture and they will provide details. I call asking about ceiling vs. Vertical wall mounting

The screw holes are a bit over 17 inches apart. You could tilt the rack slightly in order to get both screws into studs. The spot I wanted to hang it did not have studs at the appropriate locations so I used molly bolts. Had it up for several months and it is holding up well with frequent use.

The hole are 6" apart both vertically and horizontally. I mounted my bracket to a 10" piece of 2x8 that is on a post ( landscape timber ) .

They are 16" apart...I was still concerned about a lag bolt not hitting the stud correctly so I attached 2x8 s to the studs and then attached the wall mount to the 2x8s. Gave me more peace of mind...no problems here.

What is the vertical dimension of the joist? Is it exposed? Any other joists in the vicinity? My joists were only 2" wide and too close together for the bar mounts. I got a 4x4 and put that over the top of the joists and then secured the mounts/bar to the 4x4.

Shouldn't be a problem, there are slots on the back of the mounting bracket about 2 inches long. They are approximately 16 inches apart to centers horizontally and 8 inches vertically. Works well in my bedroom on a 47" TV and has a long reach to swing the TV out.

24" spacing on center is the norm for ceiling joists, so this should work fine. I think you will be able to catch 2 studs, but if not, and you have access to the storage area/attic, you could always install a crossbar stud above the drywall between the studs for extra support.
