An adjustable mounting assembly for ceiling fixtures has a pair of opposingly spaced apart mounting brackets (12,14) for mounting onto respective ones of a pair of spaced apart ceiling joists (20,22). The mounting brackets (12,14) include apertures (28,30) which receive therebetween a telescopic tube (16) comprising a first tubular member (32) and a second tubular member (34) being slidably received within the first tubular member (32). The first and second tubular members (32,34) are movable in opposing axial directions between a retracted position and an extended position to suit a distance between the ceiling joists (20,22). The telescopic tube (16) has mounted thereon a carrier bracket (18) which is adapted to move axially along the telescopic tube (16). The carrier bracket (18) includes a downwardly facing aperture (50) and axial movement of the carrier bracket (18) along the telescopic tube (16) allows the downwardly facing aperture (50) to align with the desired position of the fixture on the ceiling.
An adjustable mounting assembly for a ceiling fixture, said assembly comprising a pair of opposingly spaced apart mounting brackets for mounting onto ceiling joists, the mounting brackets including means for receiving therebetween a length adjustable tube to suit a desired distance between a pair of spaced apart ceiling joists, the tube having mounted thereon a carrier bracket including a downwardly facing aperture, the carrier bracket being so adapted as to allow the downwardly facing aperture to align with a desired position of the fixture on the ceiling.
