Can someone tell me how this is installed? Do you screw it into the ceiling on does it stick on with adhesive. Thanks!

I screwed mine into the wall of the pantry. Works great! I think if you purchased some automotive double sided trim tape or 3M heavy duty plastic nobby strips, these will work,

Hi there this is a screw on, just two secures the thin piece, like a plate in place then the main piece which houses 4 C batts latches to the secure plate, twist and you're done --- ingenious, makes it easy to replace the batts without having to unscrew the whole thing if it was 1 piece. I have 4 e going very strong despite frequent use, in high traffic. Oddly enough the one that is used the least is acting up, stays on pretty much all the time...would need to call CS...good luck!

Screw it into the ceiling that is what I did and it works perfectly! If you stick it with adhesive it can fall & break I think :)

You can install it either way. I have one in the garage, two in my closet , two in the grocery closet even sent one to my daughter for her garage great light. The light comes with 2 screws and inserts. S. Gavlick

It screws into the ceiling. I installed mine a couple months ago, and it works great.

Yes, the lights come with adhesive and screws for optional mounting. The lights aren't very heavy , but you would probably want to use drywall anchors for a ceiling application. Just make sure the screws are compatible with the existing mounting holes in the bottom of the light.

There's really no "installation." You just place it where you want it. It sits there and emits light when it's dark. Easy!

Alas, I had my contractor install it. I will tell you that I believe it was applied with a type of adhesive (liquid nails?) and then caulked. No screws to my knowledge. It's a lovely piece.

You do not need adhesive. There is a backing that peels off. It is important to view the installation video on their web site.

I hung mine with just the sticky adhesive they provide on back. I have had it in place for 4 years now with no problem falling off.

You got lot of answers here, some of them pretty good. All I can add to the discussion is: If you have high ceiling that pushes the installation to the outer edge of (alleged) capacity.... forget it... it will not be stable even with screws. Old houses with high ceilings may have mortar instead of wooden beams and sheet-rock... in that case answer is the same - forget it. Otherwise I agree, a tension supplied by adjusting the pole and some care in how you push on it when you use it (MOSTLY DOWN) makes it practical, ingenious workable solution.

The base of the unit is held by two screws. If the ceiling(most likely location) is made of drywall, use the included plastic sleeves first. then the screw. If the ceiling is made of wood, use just screws. You'll need a(hand or electric) drill and a Phillips screw driver. Once the base is held tight by two screws, install the main unit by align the two holes on it to the two buttons on the base unit and twist a little until it clicks in.

It will not fall... it doesn't actually screw into the ceiling but has a suction kind of top with a metal bar that presses against the ceiling. I've had mine for quite awhile and do flip, turns, spins, and every kind of trick on it and it's never budged! I've even had grown men play around on it and it held up perfect!

It is set up as a standard ceiling install into a ceiling mount. Don't know how you would do that without a lot of work and extra expense.

I had it install by a handyman I now. What he did was drill a hold into the stucco for the wires to go thru and also for the mounting screws. He push the wires thru along with the mtg screw. On the inside he mounting a bracket that would mount to the mounting screws and hold the light fixture in place. After that is was just a matter of hooking the wires. I hope that hleps.

Two screws that are mounted. The back of the sensor has key-hole shaped slots that you align with the screw heads and twist a couple of degrees to secure. I used the screw mounts into the ceiling, but the unit is light enough that it's possible it may hold on a wall with some of the stronger command strip style pads. I never tried I though and wouldn't expect it to work for a ceiling mount.

I agree with the previous poster. You need a ceiling mount that will cradle it. It will not attach directly to many of the ceiling mounts on the market that bolt in.

Hi, My name is June, MyQ Community Specialist for Chamberlain. We recommend that the unit be installed on the ceiling to avoid obstruction to the safety features of the product (beeping alert and light). The unit will work if it is installed on a wall or workbench in the garage. We do recommend that the unit still be free of obstruction, however. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like tips for installing the unit at june.won@chamberlain.com. Thanks, June

I installed it without removing the existing ceiling, just cutting a hole in the ceiling where the light fixture was. On a scale of 1-5 about a 3. I did have to enlarge the hole a little bit bigger than normal, because the ceiling had sheet rock over lath and plaster.

The light has a base that you attach the sticky adhesive to to mount it. Then you slide the light on and off the base if you want. You also have the option to attach using magnets that come with the light. We mounted ours with adhesive under our son's bed in our Rv where there is a cabinet to store stuff in. We don't remove it at all, just turn on and off so he can see his clothes bins under the bed.

It has to be attached to the ceiling. It comes with the hooks needed for installation. However, as our wedding was in church, we decided to use 3M adhesive tape for the hooks rather than making holes in the ceiling.
