Found a light hanging from the ceiling!

Would Recommend

Some how when the contractors installed a light they managed to break the existing box, after 12 years the broken box gave out and I happen to look up and saw the light fixture hanging by the wire! So replaced it with a new one, easy to install, the tool you need is a screw driver!

Odd products for odd jobs

Would Recommend

This is perfect if you have a board ceiling that can support the weight of a fan or light. I did not have room for a regular nail box but so far this has worked wonders. Would definitely use again if needed. The ceiling I have is wood board and had an old metal box that I don’t trust nor was it the right size to be honest.

Replace 'old' Old Work Boxes

Would Recommend

This 'new' Old Work Box replaced a condition I had with two poorly installed old work boxes from yesteryear. Having three working wings did the trick in firming up sagging wall mounted lanterns.
