Discovered that one of my lights was getting dimmer because halogen bulbs were burning out. This is a new house and I thought it was already an LED fixture. Got 3 new LED bulbs to make that area nice and bright.
Also discovered the house has metal studs when I went to mount the TV. bought some metal anchors. Never worked with metal studs before. Hope it turns out.
Metal studs scare me. For the amount of weight, one would hang off a regular stud, like a t.v. A metal one seems way to thin a material for any significant thread engagement on a faster, for load bearing.
It is too thin for thread engagement. You need to use an anchor.
Yeah, I bought a set of 4 toggle bolts rated at 88 lbs each. Should easily handle a 59" TV and mount, although the mount is articulating… maybe I should have gone with the 100+ lbs anchors.
