My Diamond table and light are to arrive soon. I only have appx. 11.5" of clearance between the ceiling and top of light.

How would the experts install it? I was thinking of "hard mounting" it with 2x4's. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone have pics of the inside or top of the light that could show possible mounting points?

Thanks in advance,
John
 
I like chain, the light has an eye bolt in each corner so I’d put a short chain forming a triangle to one eye bolt in the ceiling on each end. If there’s nothing solid to mount the eye bolt to ( you can run a 2-3ft 1 x4 perpendicular to light, screw it to joist and center eye bolt on those. You could use a router, stain, paint the boards any way you like.

I always used the medium sized chain (looks great) and the chrome link that threads closed to make install look good

Edit: I actually used four short pieces of chain forming the triangle
