When it comes to hanging heavy light fixtures or ceiling fans, safety should always come first. The truth is, most people don’t give much thought to what’s holding up that chandelier or fan above their heads. But here at Fixture Support Systems, we know better. We’ve seen the dangers of using the wrong supports, and we’re here to set the record straight. The question is simple: should you trust what’s on the market today, or should you choose the one support system that was designed and tested with safety in mind? The answer lies in the EZ Brace lighting bracket.

The Hidden Dangers Behind “Approved” Products

Let’s face it, electricity isn’t forgiving. One mistake, and the results can be dangerous, costly, and even life-threatening. That’s why we take our responsibility seriously at Fixture Support Systems. Customers often assume that any product approved for electrical installations must be safe, but that isn’t always the case. Take the so-called “bar box” that’s flooding the market. It’s non-compliant with the National Electrical Code, yet it still ended up with UL approval. After personally testing it, I can say without hesitation that it should never be used for 120-volt installations. That’s why I designed the EZ Brace bracket: to give people a truly reliable solution.

Built Different

Here’s the thing: there really is no competition.

  • The EZ Brace was engineered from the ground up with safety as the first priority.
  • It’s the only method fully approved for mounting ceiling blade and paddle fans.
  • It’s been tested to handle the weight and motion that comes with large fixtures.

The EZ Bracket 101 was developed because we saw firsthand how bad the existing options were. While the bar box may look like a quick fix, it’s actually a danger hanging in your home. The EZ Brace eliminates that risk by giving you a secure, code-compliant system you can trust.

Not Just for Lights

Heavy chandeliers aren’t the only challenge. Ceiling fans create constant movement, which puts even more strain on the support system. That’s why the EZ-Brace 101 support system was designed to meet these demands. Unlike a standard electrical box that was never built for moving loads, our system is rock-solid. If you’re installing a EZ Brace 101 for ceiling fan, you’re not just putting up a fan, you’re investing in safety. And that peace of mind matters when you’ve got a heavy fixture spinning above your family’s head.
