If I mount a simple junction box in the ceiling for the electrical connections, will the clips on the fixture hold it in place on the drywall?

Should - But the spring on one of my two clips had moved out of position, and I had to figure out how it was supposed to be affixed to the unit, to keep the proper tension against the drywall. Once I got that worked out, the design proved to have sufficient gripping power to support the weight of the unit. Hope you don't have to go through that experience to get things working right.

This comes with a ceiling plate mount , bare wire and wire nuts. For my purpose, I purchased separate edison plugs and did away with the included mount.

see the bottom detail on the lamp? that is what holds it in place - just like a ceiling mounted fixture. So.. if your current wall light has this type of mounting bracket then likely yes. If not then no. However, if there is already a light fixture there then this is a simple five minute install for anyone with half a brain.

Yes. It mounts as any pendant lighting fixture would mount. It requires a 4" electrical box, round or square, mounted firmly in/on the ceiling. It includes a mounting bracket to attach to the electrical box, and a box cover. You attach the mounting bracket onto the box with the 8-32(?) screws typically supplied with the electrical box. Place the box cover over the wire. You then attach the three wires, green (ground), white (neutral), and black (line) to your 120VAC source wires in the box. Attach the cover, and test by applying power to the box. You may shorten the SJT cord, if desired, when installing. Yes. It mounts as any pendant lighting fixture would mount.

I also have a hollow ceiling in my basement. These lights worked perfectly for me. I cut holes in the drywall, ran wiring, and inserted the lights in the holes. They clamp directly onto the drywall. Very nice.

These actually aren't able to attach to a metal box, which makes me question how to install them up to code. You cut a hole in the drywall and the clips hold it tight and flush. I just wonder where you are supposed to make the wire connections as there is really no simple way to make them inside a box.

I was able to attach to dry wall ceiling using long screws with sheet rock anchors. It ends up about 2 inches from ceiling because space is needed for transformer.

Assuming you have a power source on the ceiling , The mounting holes on the base will allow it & and the cover clips on tight so it will not fall. mounting it on the ceiling will not be an issue

The bracket needs a wise fixture. Just like anything you are hanging from the ceiling, you want to make sure it is secure. My beams run parallel with my garage door and so I put a small piece if 2x4 across two beams and attaches it to that. Works like a charm.

Probably not. We had trouble getting the clips to stay in place with our standard thickness drywall ceiling.

The two I bought are installed in a ceiling light like the one in the photo without clips. It sags ever so little. I do notice it unless I am on a ladder with my head next to it. It came a little bit larger than needed. I used a sheet metal shear to cut it to size.

This item is electrical junction box attached to a cross brace. It allows placement of a junction box between joists and will support the weight of a light fixture or ceiling fan. If you are trying to secure a heavy fixture or a fixture that may have a lot of force on it such as a grab rail in your bathroom, I would consider heavy duty dry wall anchors like Togglers or WingIts.

I honestly don't know but I'm sure it won't. Either buy another command clip/hook or buy something completely different. My experience was terrible with these. I used them for christmas lights in my room. I Followed the instructions and everything. First two hours i had no problems with them but after that, half of them fell off and wouldn't stick anymore even with new stickies. I ended up using clear push pins and they're amazing! Christmas lights are still up in my room and its probably been close to a month already. I wouldn't recommend these decorative clips for anything to be honest! I hope this helps � I honestly don't know but I'm sure it won't. Either buy another command clip/hook or buy something completely different. My experience was terrible with these.

I would not reccomend installing on drywall unless there is some form timber or other strengthening support behind it. The weight of the installed items if too heavy say 10lb or so may be too much for the plaster board and may pull the attaching point (screws) out. Having said that it depends on what is used to attach the mount as there are some screw in plugs and spring loaded butterfly type nuts etc that could manage the weight. Some amplifiers are fairly heavy, but set top boxes are light and plaster board could hold that with appropriate plugs.

Yes if you anchor it correctly. The supplied screws will not be long enough to screw into the ceiling joist but if you purchase longer ones you should be fine. I feel with the weight of the rack and the glasses, plastic anchors will not be strong enough in drywall.

No, fixture is not designed for direct mounting. No easy access to inside of fixture.Instructions state to mount "minimum of three inches from ceiling."

The way I installed was I cut a very precise hole for the light and the spring mechanism is what holds it tight in the ceiling. I put mine in the wall and is holding tight still.Hope this helps.
