Evening,
Have bought a chandelier. Have managed to sort out wiring etc. Just need to hang the thing and attach final wiring from chandelier to junction box.
There is no hook to attach the chandelier to the joists. There seems to be a bell and bar with 2 screws that seem to screw into the plasterboard ceiling. Aware this will not be strong enough so looking to screw or hook into joist.
My problem is that that the ceiling rose is slightly away from the ceiling. I can't increase this. This means the attachment to secure to joists will not be flush. Also no real means to secure a hook?
Any ideas on how I might secure this thing. There is a joist just above the hole but if I secure it to the joist it will not be flush because of gap between ceiling rose opening and ceiling.
