Our electricians were elated to see we had purchased these. We could show where we wanted lights and help the sheetrockers make a round hole for them

I had the opportunity to install these on a reno for kitchen and bathroom. I'm glad to install these as I already had previous experience on replacing thin LED lights mounted directly into dry wall. These give much added support and not to worry about damaging drywall while replacing lights.

They are noted to be slim, and that they are. I’m just not confident these are really brackets in the sense that they will hold the weight of the light. They bend with a slight bit of weight. Maybe they are meant to be used in addition to other support, I don’t know. They do look good and seem well-made.

Electricians typically prefer to install these as it makes it easier when the drywall guys are done with their work. We used about 26 of these total so you can get them in various sizes. Overall they were easy to mount and worked perfect for our basement renovation.

These are pretty simply. They are just flat steel stamped plates. The idea is that you attach these to your framing, then drywall it. When its all drywalled, you can cut out the hole and install an led puck light. What it does is really saves you from mistakes after the drywall is done. Nothing really to go wrong about these. Just a way to streamline installing led pucks. I've done it both ways (with and without) and I do think with the brackets is better, and allows you not to forget one, and makes it easier not to screw up a finished ceiling.

The only two things these have going on the positive side are their reasonable price and that they are sized properly. These mounting plates are barely stronger than the paper cutout templates that come with most wafer lights. There are currently several product photos that show these plates being suspended by 4 screws between rafters or ceiling tiles, with a wafer light installed. This is how I hoped to use them, but unfortunately it is not possible. The plates are so thin and flexible that there is no way they are going to hold even the lightest wafer light without some form of structural support or backing. These bend and deform under their own weight, forget about adding any additional weight.It is more accurate to call these a template, not a bracket. They are not strong enough to hold anything, but are actually useful as a layout template tool. I can't recommend them if you are looking to use these as advertised, to hang lights without any other structural support.

I had no idea these existed, but I knew that I needed them the first time I saw them. So these are really useful in a number of applications:1) Open rafters, such as an unfinished garage2) Open floor joists such as a basement or under a house in the crawl space.3) New construction4) Retrofit in a finished garageSo these are perfect if you have an open unfinished location and you want to install canless LED lights. I would recommend centering the lights between the joists and fold the extra part of the plate around the beam, and screwing into the side of the beam. This prevents you from being able to adjusting the position, but gives a cleaner look, and puts the end of the bracket out of the way to avoid getting cut in the future. If you have a metal bender or can make a clean 90 degree bend to fold it up and out of the way, it will look real good.If you have a finished application, then these should protect the drywall from the spring clips over time. I used these plate to install LEDs in my finished garage. I have a single story house with an open attic without insulation above the garage. I was able to cut my drywall holes first and then bend and install these plates after measuring the position of the hole relative to my rafters/trusts.So I have to take off one star for the price. These are stamped, and should not cost more than $2 each. However they are new, so getting them for $5 would be a fair price, however these are $10 each in a six pack, which I feel should have only been $20 at the most, not the $60 price as of 2023-12. I recommend to shop around to see if you can buy in bulk the number that you will need, and see no reason why these should cost more than the lights.I am not taking off a start because the picture is clear that the plate has open areas, but I would like to mount the LED junction box on the metal plate; other brands have a continuous solid plate that allows for that.
