If i remember correctly total weight of the chandelier is 130 lbs (base - 60lbs & crystals - 70lbs ). Most of the ceilings are made to with stand 70 - 90 lbs, so either you reinforce the ceiling or use the roof beams to hang it from there.

It is anchored to the ceiling. You have to already have a "hanging lamp" fixture on the ceiling to make this work...and even then...we had to make some modifications. But...it is beautiful!

Yes, I was able to hang mine staggered from 18" to 30". Won't be a problem at all. Just change the bulb to halogen or LED. Bulbs are very bad. The bulb actually separated upon installation. Could be dangerous

yes you can, and yes... youll need something to attach this fixture. depending on where youll hang it you can use from cable ties to even masking tape... the best for you would be to buy C-clamps and screw them up to the fixture's bracket. with these youll be able to move the fixture sideways and up and down as you please... if you tie the light's bracket down directly on the tree youll only get 1 of the axis to work for you... get the clamps...

I'm not certain. I would depend on how low you want the fixture to hang. We had a good bit of extra cord/ wire that we cut, but dont remember how much. ...and you would have to rewire it to add a plug at the end.

I would think the answer to be "Yes" from a ceiling electrical box but likely not so froma wall box as you will need to fashion and elbow linkage whether the light shines up or hangs down.It offers many possible configurations and is a very good value item to hang in variety of ways. Blue

It is designed to be attached with screws to a wall or post etc. I do not think it was intended to be used as a hanging fixture!

It has to be mounted to a wiring box so the ceiling tile (or whatever the ceiing is) would have to be strong enough to hold both the box and the light fixture. The fixture isn't very heavy, but I think the success or failure would rest on the strength of the ceiling material.

It does not come with hanging hardware, as far as the rings that you would attach to your ceiling. But everything else is there. My husband put it up years ago and it's been sturdy & great!

No, screw in hooks. It needs to be mounted to a solid structure like a ceiling beam. You will need to locate them with something like a stud finder.

The fixture has a bracket on both sides of which you can see one of them on this image. Attach a piece of light duty change and you can hang them anywhere.

No. I would run the electrical cables running out of this light fixture either through the ceiling and back down into the electrical box or run it through wire molding and affix it to the ceiling. The former would look much better.

not directly to the ceiling, you will have to use one chain loop to mount the fixture to the plate

No, it cannot be installed as a hanging light. The base must be flush mounted

No! This mounts flush to the ceiling using your current light fixture box, or you can mount with the enclosed drywall anchors as well.

We attached these to hooks we already had screwed into the ceiling. All we had to do was hang it by a link that was lower in the chain. Doesn't really change the appearance and kept it from hitting the ground.

Yes, that is what we did to avoid ripping out the ceiling. The installing electrician wired it hot to the fixture, so we had a couple of arcs getting it out, but the 'guts' are a direct replacement.
