Hanging light fixture

[renato120]

What do you guys use to hang light fixture on the ceiling?
I need to hang my 48 inch Ati fixture. Its around 40lbs Im afraid of this thing falling in the water.
Any pictures will be nice too :)
Thank you

If you cannot screw to the stud, at least use the 50 lb anchor. I use a board and mount the light fixture to the board. Of course the board is mounted to at least 2 studs

Mines not to the ceiling, but same concept as above post mentioned.

I have smaller units held up by strong anchors, but for the 60" unit I wanted a board mounted to studs.

I used the below link on the rest, they work great.

I just hung my ATI fixture and only hit one stud. I went in the attic and cut a 2x4 to block where the other screw went thru.
