as above, i have a maxspect g2 170w and after weighing it, it weights just 5kg. i will be hanging this light set but problem is, the part which i wish to hang, is actually a false ceiling.. The real ceiling is slightly towards the back and if i were to hang from there, i will have to tilt my light forward cause the whole light will be shifted to the back..

I took off my ceiling light and it seems like the false ceiling is pretty thick with metal framing as well.. its pretty close to the real ceiling too.

Anyone hang their light on false ceiling?

Heres a picture of the area i want to hang.. its the area right infront of the aircon..

U have to cut ur ceiling board and place a piece of wood on ur false ceiling then hang ur light using the wood as anchor. Remember to put the cut out ceiling board and buy the ceiling filler to restore ur ceiling to its original look.
