Can this be installed into a drop ceiling or must you have drywall to attach to?

The posts need to have something pretty stable to attach to. If you can do that then you might be OK. The flex track isn't that flexible so the posts need to be able to withstand some stress to keep the shape of your bends. Hope that helps! It's a great light fixture!

Neither. You need to attach it to a can in the ceiling that is supported by joists or similar.

I don't think so, you have to cut into the dry wall to flush mount it to the ceiling.

No it can hang from the ceiling, but as stated by others it does require mounting to a stud because its weight cannot be supported by drywall alone. The wires will be exposed if you hang it too low, there is less than a quarter inch gap between the light base and the ceiling on ours.

It has to be attached to the ceiling. It comes with the hooks needed for installation. However, as our wedding was in church, we decided to use 3M adhesive tape for the hooks rather than making holes in the ceiling.

According to the manufacturer you can do flush mount, straight drop down or "angled ceiling" mount. You should be good to go with a longer rod that you'll have to purchase separately.

yes but needs to have some additional backing support. The device is very light but still should be able to be mounted on a drop ceiling

As long as there's a box in the ceiling..there shouldn't be any problem to get it installed!!

It is specifically designed for a drop in ceiling. To mount it otherwise would require some substantial cobbling.

I mounted mine to the drop ceiling grid with the velcro that is included in the kit. It's light enough that the weight is really not an issue. It does come with a mounting clip that does screw into a surface with a small anchor if you want.

You will have to purchase a drywall mounting bracket separately. If you are cutting in a new hole in the Sheetrock they make brackets specifically for that.

This has to attached to a stud- it's too heavy for drywall and anchors. I hope this helps.

yes it is compatible with the drop ceiling because you're not going to attach it to the suspended ceiling you going to attach it to the rafters above it. you will attach it to whatever is supporting the suspended Ceiling.

yes but you must use the correct length of screws and anchors, e.g., toggles. You can't screw directly into drywall.

Drilled a pilot hole through the thick ends- then screwed them in. For the ceiling- there is quite a bit of weight- so it might be difficult- the middle slats would be hard to screw though without breaking them.

i used staple gun to attach directly to beams, then put 1" raisers ( metal channel) to separate drywall from beams. this gives air space, same on ceiling, but you def need several people as it is very heavy.

This device could certainly be installed (attached) to a steel frame as long as the steel frame can support the weight. If the "steel frame" you are referencing is the metal structure holding up the drop ceiling panels then the answer is no.

The Bamboo was very easy to put a hole in it. We attached to a dry wall with dry wall screws (3 of them alongside the frame). I can not answer the "ceiling question". It is too small for a regular celing unless you want to hang it from there. Again, no expereince with the ceiling.
