Help hanging lights from ceiling. Old town/Alexandria

[brad908]

Really hoping someone with experience with hanging lights from a ceiling would be willing to lend me a hand, hopefully tomorrow.

 

I am hanging a 24" led with 2 wires. If you are familiar with the area, I live right off GW parkway and behind Rustico/Buzz in the brick condo buildings.

 

Pizza and beer at Rustico will be treated afterwards.

 

Thanks

How much does it weigh?

 

I used these:

to hold a 4' 4 bulb ATI Powermodule.  I would say if the fixture is 20lb's or less these work just fine.

 

And with those you would need to buy two screws/bolts that would work with something like this:

Hey man. Sorry, meant to call this morning. I've had some major tank changes over here. I'd be more than willing to swing by and give you a hand tomorrow. Do you have a drill and different bits? Are you using a toggle bolt?

No problem. I have a drill and bits and the kit that came with it has toggle bolts.

Way under 20 pounds. I have a full hanging kit with toggle bolts that the manufacturer included.
