Wil it help to mount moulding on the ceiling straight?

It depends upon what you mean. If you are installing trim or molding ON only the ceiling (e.g., you're not talking about crown type molding between the wall and ceiling), then I'd say yes because it will project a nice straight line across the ceiling from wall to wall if you project with the laser perpendicular to the ceiling and align it with a mark at both ends of the room. This would be helpful for marking the locations for false beams or panel-type molding. In other words, it'll function like a chalk line without the mess so you can make pencil marks in key locations. However, if you're talking about installing crown molding at the interface of the wall and ceiling, I wouldn't use it for this. Few ceilings are perfectly level, flat or even, and I would measure the proper distance down the wall from the ceiling every couple of feet along the wall, and then adjust the exact location of the bottom edge of the crown to compensate visually for ceiling unevenness, even if it means moving portions of the trim slightly higher or lower on the wall. Working with uneven ceilings often requires a little art to get the best appearance, and the laser will give you only a straight and level line on the wall, regardless of how straight or level the ceiling is.

That is what it does best. If you are building a coffer ceiling or hanging crown. I always set a 60" bench mark with the laser ( easy math) then work from the low spot.

It will project a straight line on the ceiling. You still have to determine where you want the line.

We put ours on an angled ceiling as well. We mounted it to a new beam. If you want to mount it to a cathedral type ceiling, I don't think it would work. There would be too much angle on the pulleys. They need to hang straight down. Hope that helps.

No this is not what you are looking for. This is for adapting the down rod on a fan to a steep angle. If you already have an electrical box in your ceiling and your light has a cord you will not need anything special. If you want it to be parallel to the floor you will likely need something custom.

Nope. My ceiling is 1/2" drywall and they have little clamps that hold them in place. Not sure about thicker ceilings though.

I installed my mount from the ceiling and that worked very well. The kit comes with several height posts and should work ok for your application.

It is specifically designed for a drop in ceiling. To mount it otherwise would require some substantial cobbling.

I have mine mounted to a finished ceiling. When installing you will just need a stud finder to make sure you line up the bracket with a ceiling joist.

I believe you would need another decorative plate between the ceiling and this conversion kit in order to make this work for you. Short answer is "no, not by just the kit itself".

It depends on the molding. A small under cabinet molding should be okay. However, anything that is more than a couple inches tall and is not mostly horizontal is going to make the mount unstable.

definitely; the plate that attaches to the ceiling has a "ball and socket" joint, like your hips, and that allows the pendant to hang straight down while the plate is sloped.

It should as it is a universal mounting joint. You may have to align the groove in the base so it extends along studs in your ceiling to accommodate the 60 degrees but I really don't think that would be necessary to deal with your issue. The studs should be running that direction anyway and you will want the groove aligned with the studs for anchoring anyway.

Yes, it works quite well. It can easily stick to anything metal such as metal studs or to a cornerbead. I don't believe it will stick to a metal stud that's behind drywall already. The included clamp is also very useful especially for drop ceilings.

No, it will not. You could, perhaps, attach a wedge to the ceiling to provide a flat surface for the spring to brace against.

No I don't think this would be a good way. If I was you and could get up into the attic I would nail or screw a 2x4, 2x6 or bigger between the ceiling joists, on the flat way. I even done this for all my ceiling fans, because the chains do get pulled, didn't want anything to come down. These work great for just a light or fan, even then I like to put wood up first to have a better hold. Sure hope this helps, ask more if need be. Rodney

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.

Sure, in fact by default it's settings are assigned for table top or shelf positioning. If you want to invert it and mount to the ceiling then the mounting position settings would need to be adjusted.

If you are installing it at the peak of the ceiliing, you will need a large flat area to mount it to. Also, the width of the peak will hav to be wide enough to accomodated the width of the assembled fixture.If you want to install this on the actual slope of the ceiling, I wouldn't recommend it. I think the weight of the crystals would distort the shape of the wire metal arms that they are attached to at the ends.
