Review on Westinghouse Lighting Saf-T-Grid 0107000: Optimal Solution for Suspended Ceilings by Barb Parker

Pretty much any part you need to attach to drywall

So I bought this so I could attach a regular mount to a false ceiling panel because I didn't have enough room for a recessed light. This set had a lot more than I needed but should have everything for your situation. In my case I have a 2'x2' mesh and my device (no fan) weighed <10 lbs. I only used one of the braces and did not use the chain as I felt it was unnecessary in my situation. Yes there is another piece here on Amazon that seems to do a better job but this one is cheaper and you never know how you are going to attach these things until you get everything sorted out. The learned cuts hold a smaller electrical box than the electrical box. You want the control box to sit on top of the tile and your bracket's screws to clamp the tile between itself and the box. The first tile I cut I made the same size and the trim kit didn't match the ceiling tile. Your mileage may vary and I am not an experienced electrician or county code. But it was exactly what I wanted. I needed to install a traditional flush mount fixture to a false ceiling panel. FYI if you haven't thought about it yet, this just means the light is attached to the tile and if you want to remove the tile you will need to disassemble the light or leave space above the drop to place the Box, tile and light. In my case, when the tile spacing is small, I have to disassemble, but it's a small price to pay to get light where you need it. Amazon is very happy about this as the 5 hardware stores I visited just gave me blank looks and pointed out the built in lights.
