I've got a very lightweight (~4 lbs) light fixture that I'm attaching to my ceiling. Currently, there is no overhead light in the room, and thus, there's no existing electrical box. Further, I have no access to the space above my ceiling (attic area), to go in and install a box. I'm not worried about the power -- I'm running cable from the light to a plug that I'll plug into the wall. I'm trying to find out what my options are for securing the light fixture to the ceiling? Am unsure if there are any braces between the joists in the ceiling, and I'm not even sure of the spacing on the joists at this time. Assume I can use a stud finder to locate any braces, and also determine my joist spacing. What are my options?
