is it compatible with a drop ceiling?

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.

Thats going to be tricky, you need something solid to bolt/screw this into. So if you are able to manage that with the dropped ceiling then you will be fine. If there is nothing solid to bolt it to, then its not a good idea.

I don't really think so. I returned it because it was too small for my needs, but still, I think it was just for a wall mount. And anyway it's a plug-in, not made for ceilings.

They come with plastic mounting brackets for the ceiling so it should work.

Yes, but you have to reinforce it with at plywood of at least 1/4 inch thickness. The surface area of the plywood should be the same as the drop ceiling tile for strength.

No idea. Could not mount on my ceiling. Have no use for it now. Pay for shipping and you can have mine.tcostanzo02@yahoo.com

I believe you would need another decorative plate between the ceiling and this conversion kit in order to make this work for you. Short answer is "no, not by just the kit itself".

Thank you for the question. It all depends on the quality of the tiles themselves. Some drop-ceiling tiles are cheaper and thinner than others, and those would not be able to support this recessed light. However if the tiles are thick and high quality, you won't need additional support. Alan Globe Electric

The basic design is set up for a wall mount. There is no electrical reason that it would not work in the ceiling. My only concern is the mechanical mounting of it.

if the aluminum ceiling has support either wood studs or metal studs then I think it would be ok. You can screw it to the studs. It's not heavy but you want to make sure it is tightly secured. After all you'll be pulling it down so you need it anchored tightly.

Yes. I bought this and had to install it facing down due to a lower ceiling. Still looks good.

It would but the head space or clearance will be pretty minimal. I would not recommend it. Buy something where the mounts on the ceiling.

Yes, however, approximately with 1" drop. Best to measure length from ceiling for room.

Our ceiling is only 78" and it fits great. There was another section that can be put in and you also set the spring to the desired height. My husband put it in and said it should work fine.

Hello. Yes it will work! It has protection rings or anti slip rings, on top and the bottom mounting plates. Just make sure that you place it on a ceiling stud for mounting it firmly. It is a very sturdy pole when put up properly. I hope that this helps you.

No. You need a stem for the shaft to have a place to mount to the ceiling fixture, however, I sure that you can get an optional 'snugger' adapter for low ceilings. Hope that this helps.

I'm not sure that it would work on the ceiling. I think it would need a different bracket, the kind that goes around a tub.

You shouldn't have a problem but make sure you use a stud finder to place it under a beam or you'll have problems. There is a vaulted ceiling attachment you can buy and screw into your ceiling.
