Discuss The use of plastic wall plugs for the 18th.... in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Other than ceiling roses, I would suggest most domestic surface mounted luminaries subsequently installed, would have to make use of said plasterboard fixings. If you were installing something heavy, aka an old fashioned chandelier, these types of fixings (in a horizonal plane) would not be suitable, and an alternate fixing method would have to be employed.

Plasterboard primary role, is to provided fire protection for load bearing structures. Cutting holes in said plasterboard, may cause that fire protection to fail, if not suitable sealed.
