Hanging lights between joists
I’m putting t8 fixtures between joists. Joists are 22.5” apart. Joists are 8’ up.
I want the bottoms of the lights even with the joists so I don’t lose overhead, so fixtures must be centered to spread light properly.
I’ve got some old 1x4 scrap so thinking I’d run 1x4 between joists to hold the fixture brackets. I made a form so can place everything perfectly…. Was thinking to toe nail the 1x4 into the joists but… it’s weak old wood, 1x4 probably will crack. Looked online but not seeing any cheap plastic brackets to hold 1x4.
How would you mount the fixtures up between the joists? Fixtures maybe weigh 5lb each.
I could use chain but it would be aggrevating.
