Hanging ATI Sunpower Light
I'm going to be suspending the light from the ceiling, which is drywall. I plan on using a toggle bolt but I'm not sure what size to get. Can anyone who have done it advise what is the correct size toggle bolt to get?
Reason I'm asking is cause when I get home, the supply store will be closed and I'd like to get it during lunch today. |

I would try to find a toggle bolt that is rated for at least twice the weight of the SP. That said, I would also replace the toggle bolt every year, just to be safe.

would the screw that comes with the hanging kit fit the toggle that is rated for double the weight? i though the toggle comes in a few sizes based on the screw diameter.
