When I reposition my ceiling light fitting must I attach to a
batten spanning 2 joists or can I fix a batten to the topside of
the plasterboard ceiling.

Depends on how heavy it is.

I will try first if space allows to fit to joists, otherwise a
batten
to the topside of plasterboard.

Bog standard light fitting nothing elaborate.

I cant see any need. Good plasterboard plugs should be fine.

Until someone pulls the light.


Then the plugs pull out. So what? I *am* assuming it isn't a fan/light
weighing 10 kg.


More concerned about the board breaking.
