Approved Fixture Boxes and Support for Heavy Fixtures
[ad#block]I have a 65 lbs chandelier that needs an installation in lieu of a light that was installed by the builder.
- I do not know if the light outlet is equipped to handle the weight of chandelier what should I do?
- Do I need to install a lift for the chandelier?
Thank you in advance.
