[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 474855, member: 250"] I don't normal take much note of the actual weight of any lights I put up.... You can just tell when you get them out of the box and feel how much effort is needed to hold them up while fixing them... Bog standard plastic pendant or batten holder may be acceptable into lathe.. but anything more significant I would be wanting at least one good strong fixing into a batten of some sort. On a slight tangent I have been asked to look at a faulty shower pump for a customer, I found the identical make model online... I was just reading and the specification says it weighs 2.6Kg... Don't think I would want anything that heavy or heavier hanging from just plasterboard or lathe. If someone did fix a light like that professionally and it did come lose, I'd guess you could have reasonable grounds for compensation due to negligence? :coffee [/QUOTE]
