The light fixture Smart Box is a unique ceiling product with a UL listed rating for 50 lb. light fixture support. It is the only nonmetallic ceiling box that includes (2) 1 inch #8 fixture support screws. This product is extra deep for additional wire capacity. It is also quick and easy to remove for wiring between floors, cathedral ceilings and inaccessible attics.
Add a cold rolled steel L-Bracket to this Smart Box and you now have a UL listed 50 lb. ceiling fan support box and a 75 lb. light fixture support box that works for all kinds of job situations. It is side beam mounted with (3) 2 inch # 10 hex head screws vs. bottom joist mounted. Ideal for upgrading light fixtures to light paddle fan combos, this one of a kind product has unmatched versatility that is immediately recognized by the electricians in the field.
I used it on the wall to hold a very heavy black pipe light fixture that I made. I screwed it directly into the studs. You cannot tell from the product image, but all five of the screws and the grounding screws, are all part of a strong metal reinforcement bracket.
