About three months ago I go to a customers house to replace some ceiling luminaries. One I replaced had a plastic nail-on device box, no big shakes, I put up the new luminaire, see below.
A few weeks later I get a call that one of the luminaries has come loose from the ceiling. Customer tried to put it back up with no luck. I get there and put it back up. This time I use washers not knowing if the mounting screws pulled through the slots in the luminaire and or bridge. After I put the luminaire back up I gave it a good tug and it was tight to the ceiling.
I get a call three days later, yesterday, that the same luminaire is falling down again. I get there today and the luminaire is hanging by one of the 6/32's x 2" screws and the head was about 1" down from the ceiling and the other screw was completely out of the box.
I now have a theory as to why this luminaire keeps coming down how about any of you?
