How do I know which compatible housing to buy? Am I correct in assuming this requires a 4 inch hole in the ceiling? Can anyone post instructions?

I had existing 4" recessed lighting that used screw in halaogen bulbs , the housing fit in a 4" hole through the ceiling,withe the wiring in the attic. It was simple for me ,to replace the halogen with the T41 , plus now I can insulate my attic .Go to your local box store and look at the recessed cans , just make sure you get one that has the "normal " bulb screw in socket . any make should work , but yes it requires the 4" hole

I had the same problem. My solution was my local Homedepot (or any hardware store) and purchased 1/4 thread rod and a union ( joins 2 threaded rods), cut it to fit and works great. Just take one of your end pieces with you and explain to an associate you dilemma and they will gladly set you up.

Important to find a beam because although this is very light, imagine if you roll over and some weight is pulling on it, could pull right out of most ceiling plaster. Try Google or YouTube to see if there are instructions. Suggest you get a hook from the hardware store, the shape of a tea cup hook, but larger, and screw it into the wood of the beam. If you are a renter, no worries, you can patch the hole when you leave.

I had mine put up by somebody but if you have higher ceilings I'm sure all you have to do is go to your local hardware store and purchase a chain that size. So to answer that yes you can

Hello Betty Jo - - - Your existing bracket will probably not match up with this unit, but; the new bracket will easily fit onto the screws that are already there. Just 'loosen' the screws (don't take them all the way out) turn the old bracket off the screws and then insert the new bracket onto the screws and re-tighten the screws. You should get the adapters to make sure that no re-wiring is needed. You'll get two different ones in each package(KA-F or the KA-B, it will be an additional expense but worth the time to me) match/use the one that fits the plug coming from the ceiling. Then plug the adapter into the unit and push the wires up into the ceiling and twist the new unit into place onto the newly installed bracket. It's really simple to install and they do come with a re-wire set if you prefer to do a re-wire. I installed 4 of them with the adapters in less than a half hour, doing a re-wire would have taken another half hour and I had to my son to his ball game. All the very best to you.

You would have to see if you can find a mounting plate adapter for that size or fabricate something yourself. (My vents are in the ceiling.)

Look farther down on the product page Amazon has for this item. It shows the accessories you need to mount this. If you look at the top of this mount you will see a hole with threads. That is where a pipe will screw into and hold the mount. You can buy pipe at the hardware store, but the stuff made specifically for this usually works much better since it's nicely finished with black paint and usually has a cut out to run your wires.Now, it seems you could just screw this mount directly to the ceiling like a flush mount ceiling fan, but I can't vouch for how well that would allow you to aim this correctly to your screen.

All necessary hardware is included for standard ceiling mount. Straight rod is short! If you require longer rod Home Depot is the ticket

I bought this item and it worked on my system. Measure housing and see if it lines up. That is what I did. Good luck.

Ellie, that is something that I could not answer exactly. I only know the version I purchased. A small assumption would be that the holes on the mounting plate that is on your ceiling or wall are most likely about the same. Obviously one is so adding one screw hold is not difficult. The hardware stores carry self tapping screws so all you would need is a screw driver. good luck

I would mount it as shown in the picture. The housing is only about 1" down from the ceiling. It mounts the same as any other ceiling fixture.

I measured the light housing ( hole in ceiling) and it was 8 inches. There are also 10 inch types.

Although the instructions are only for a ceiling type mount, after looking closely at the unit I see no reason it could not be mounted in a wall. The spring tabs are tapered to allow for varying drywall thicknesses. The depth is about 2.25" so it should fit fine in your 4" wall. You have given me a good idea; I may try one of these inside a closet myself. It is quite bright and reasonably priced for such a good quality LED fixture.

i bought a standard 4" from hd, installed, even added a pedestal to it. a bead of calk to seal the deal and it looks better thanif i left the pipes and lines exposed. all this in a bathroom that had 30" from wall to wall...wash hands slowly and you'll be just fine!~

you'll need a 4 inch round box, like this but you probably don't need bulk : Carlon Ceiling Box 18.0 Cu In Pvc Blue Bulk

I could not find anything in the instructions that mentioned a flush mount or how to mount the unit flush (against the ceiling) so I used the shortest drop rod.My ceiling height in the small bedroom I installed this unit in would not allow me to use the light kit as I would be bumping my head into it as it would hang too low.The ceiling fan works great without the light kit and looks very nice, but I would have preferred a light that I could have used. Also instructions for installing the fan without the light are not in the supplied instructions, you must get them online, which I found irritating. It's very simple, but it should be included on the instruction sheet.
