I have hung the spectra using two toggle bolts directly into the sheetrock. How much does this unit weigh and is this sufficient for the weight of the unit? In reviewing the load capacities of s ingle toggle bolt, it say 130 lbs at ultimate capacity, and a recommended capacity of 35#. I used two to support the Spectra.

I recommend mounting the hanging kit directly to the wooden studs behind the sheetrock.

Chris I already have it hanging. Is there any reason to believe this won't work? I see a ton of ATI fixtures mounted this way. Let me know. Also do you know how much the spectra weighs?

I can't say if it will hold or not, if it were me I would be screwing into a stud.

Weight is estimated at 25 lbs.
