Billiard table light mounting

[AllAmericanJock]

I am installing a billiards table light and wanting to know about mounting it. The light fixture is quite heavy and want to know more on mounting it and about weight verses the electrical box/mounting. The light is a 4 shade, tiffany style. I have looked into using a ceiling fan brace/mounting bracket, would this be ok to use. Thank You

I would be wary of mounting all that weight onto an electrical box. Maybe hang the chains from two independent hooks away from the box so that the box bears no load. That is how I hung mine anyway.

Find the joists in the ceiling and mount hooks into them. Attach the chains to the hooks so the the load is spread out, not all focused at one point. Of course every install is different and maybe this isn't possible. Got pics?
