Is this unit screwed into the ceiling? If so, could it be mounted with adhesive instead?

Mary, I already had an old First Alert...so I didn't even change out the back (or holder)...but, I don't see why you couldn't. The unit is not that heavy...and you would just be using double sided tape on the holder...Personal opinion is that it would work...but you may want to email the First Alert company and ask for sure. Sorry I couldn't give you an exact answer.

Yes, you can mount it by installing two screws then push and twist this unit over them --------------- or ------------use double-sided foam tape to hold it to the ceiling. It is pretty light!

It is set up as a standard ceiling install into a ceiling mount. Don't know how you would do that without a lot of work and extra expense.

No! This mounts flush to the ceiling using your current light fixture box, or you can mount with the enclosed drywall anchors as well.

This fixture appears to be built to attach to the ceiling, though I didn't see anything that would prevent wall mounting it.

We mounted it on hangers. Mounting on ceiling May need an electrician to do the task. Easier to mont on hangers . Anyway, let us know whether it can be done. So far have not heard anyone doing it.

This is not standard mount system, you have 3 screws, but in the ceiling only 2 wholes (I least I had only 2). We mounted to those 2 and did the third whole directly into ceiling, otherwise it will not hold it right.

Not stick, you need to take a couple small screws and screw it to the ceiling. There are screw holes provided on the edge of the black base.

no- it can not be flush mounted, but can be hung close to ceiling. I love it!

Screw it into the ceiling that is what I did and it works perfectly! If you stick it with adhesive it can fall & break I think :)

Mine is wall mounted, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't just as easily mount it from the ceiling.

It screws into the top of the unit and screws into the wall. I looked and I have a drywall type anchor in the wall - I cannot remember if it came with or I just did it myself. It is very 'tipsy' so you absolutely need to do this or it may tip over! (I hid the wall mount with a stack of towels on top :)

I mounted both of mine on the wall, but I don't see any problem with putting it on the ceiling. My ceilings are vaulted and high so the hallway walls were the best place.

Sure- That's what I did. However, you may have to use a tin snips to make an exit hole in the base (for the cord) if you want to flush mount it to the ceiling.

Yes, the lights come with adhesive and screws for optional mounting. The lights aren't very heavy , but you would probably want to use drywall anchors for a ceiling application. Just make sure the screws are compatible with the existing mounting holes in the bottom of the light.

No, it's just for ceiling. If you did wall mount it you would have to get really creative at a hardware store about how to hang it.

No it does not screw into the ceiling I have one and it socks I have only used it twice and each time it falls. Hope this helps.

Yes. There are guides for drilling on the back. Drilled out mine with a 1/8" bit and re-used the existing register screws. Ceiling mounted, no problem.
