This page will show you how to install a chandelier or hanging light fixture inside a faux wood ceiling beam.
Note: For a ceiling fan be sure to use an approved ceiling fan box.
Determine how much of a gap there will be between the bottom of the electrical box and the ceiling.
You will need to fill this gap with blocks of wood and/or shims.
Securely mount the blocks of wood or shims to the ceiling.
Note: Make sure the blocks of wood or shims will fit inside the hollow portion of the faux wood beam.
Securely mount the electrical box to the blocks of wood.
Cut the hole in the faux wood beam to accommodate the electrical box.
Dry fit the beam to ensure proper placement of the hole.
Connect the chandelier or light fixture following the directions that came with it.
