Hi all sifu's. I am now buying lights for my new house and the room upstairs all come with a plasterboard ceiling. I plan to install those hanging light (either chain type or 3 in a row type) but I am not sure if the plasterboard can handle the weight or not. Is there a guide? Thanks.

Got to install brackets inside to hold the weight else your plaster ceiling will sag and may collapse in future if lights are too heavy. I just did mine.

Thanks bigmamma . May I know how to install the brackets? Do I need to cut open the plaster ceiling? Can you show some pictures? Thanks.
