Mounting a MH Light Fixture (Cebu Sun)

[Harry_Y]

My new light was delivered today (6' Hamilton Cubu Sun.)

I was surprised that it was a bit heavier than expected.
Additionally they did include the feet kit for the light.

I was originally going to mount it on Long brackets anchored into
the wall but the weight (about 60 pounds) was me wondering.

So this has me wondering, do I just use the feet and be done with it?
Or do I use 1/4 inch toggle bolts and hope the wallboard never gives way.

I could go a third less pretty option and mount board on the wall and
mount the brackets to that.

Thoughts?

You could mount eye bolts into studs(ceiling ), or use a board across the ceiling and mount into that.

To hang my four footer, I put four 1x4 squares into the ceiling (two screws into the stud for each), and then hung the light from those.

for now I put the feet on until I figure out a better method

I have cathedral ceiling in that room so the ceiling is a bit out of the question
