Not sure if this helps you, but I used two of these (with the included L-mounting bracket) to hang my center channel from the ceiling. Once you tighten the clamps holding the rubber mounting balls in place, these are quite sturdy and hold well.

I am using one that way, hanging down from the ceiling with a clip-on shade. ... for several months, now. No problems.

I would think the answer to be "Yes" from a ceiling electrical box but likely not so froma wall box as you will need to fashion and elbow linkage whether the light shines up or hangs down.It offers many possible configurations and is a very good value item to hang in variety of ways. Blue

Each wire/ cord's length can be adjusted individually, so I suppose you could hang them on an angled ceiling. ...however it would be tricky to get it level. We currently have LED's in our fixture without any problems.

I haven't used them in that regard but I would think they wouldn't be too successful. They're fine for keeping light things tacked together where no real gravity is applied. I would think keeping something like stockings up would be too much weight for the adhesive

You can hang them from the top using a thin wire or string. I hang mine from the top of a chain link fence. Hang them down-wind, if possible.

I watched a tutorial on YouTube about these. Amazon had pricey cost. There's a wire that holds it all together in the middle. I looped ribbon through it and used clear packing tape to hang from my ceiling. Several make these directly- much cheaper!

I've used the smaller (not the smallest) hooks on my flat ceiling to hold up the middle of a strand of white lights that were strung from one wall to the other. It worked beautifully and held for three months (when we took it down). I would strictly follow the weight guidelines, even going under if possible, just to be sure. As long as what you're hanging has a loop or even a way to tie it on, it could work. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with hanging things like paper lanterns, lightweight garlands (tinsel, silk flowers, small patio lights), or any very light decor. I wouldn't use them for potted plants (way too heavy) or anything that could harm someone or break if it fell. Good luck!

I wouldn't I recently hung them on a ceiling for a customer. They look great but they do sag. I don't think you can trust the base supporting the weight if you put them on a wall. I would put them on the ceiling where they are designed to go, or if that is not an option find something different there are tons of options.

These actually aren't able to attach to a metal box, which makes me question how to install them up to code. You cut a hole in the drywall and the clips hold it tight and flush. I just wonder where you are supposed to make the wire connections as there is really no simple way to make them inside a box.

Yes, the lights come with adhesive and screws for optional mounting. The lights aren't very heavy , but you would probably want to use drywall anchors for a ceiling application. Just make sure the screws are compatible with the existing mounting holes in the bottom of the light.

Yes. They come with a little clip that has a hole in it so you can hang them with that. A little hook with a string would work good.

I did use one to hang a two bulb light but had a problem keeping the fixture from swinging,when I addeda second hanger it was perfect balance....personally I would always use two..

Ive never tried to hang them on my ceiling but here are my thoughts.... the hook is slightly curved upwards so you maybe ok......

While I think they could be mounted to a ceiling, I don't think that would be their optimum use. Mounted vertically their design gives a very wide dispersion.

Great idea! They don't weigh very much... I just used a hook that twisted into the drywall... I think it said it was good for hanging things up to 10lbs so there was no issue whatsoever.
