Get plant hangers, they come with butterfly anchors. You punch hole in sheetrock, push allthread with butterfly through, pull down, screw on hanger till tight. It will hold quite a lot if you cieling sheetrock is in good shape. Have fun, John

simkar cable hanging kits for shop lights work great with AB rails IF you are hanging the rail 4' or less from the ceiling.
