Mine is done by electrician and the fan plate look much bigger than the ceiling hole

Like this got flaw meh? Move off center so that expansion bolts are at least 25mm from hole.



4th corner secure this way...

The dome big enough to hide the extra metal piece?

Low ses 2 room flat no space... wall fans already installed 2.

Prefer to do things by the norm...

Which is why I prefer expansion bolts rather than plastic plugs... Was considering 3 bolts but I am sibei humji person. leaning toward securing 4th with metal base plate.

How come the ceilings hole so wide?

 

[rstopel]

Thought of that but only the inner circle of the base plate is flush with ceiling surface...

I can see you got not much to extend but a few mm so total spacing is 100mm is possible

Dude I know how to do also... and like you can see from another poster... technican just bolt 2 holes for him nia... practically the offcenter installation I mentioned I would say... In fact, the ceiling fan light came with only 2 expansion bolts... I just more humji than everyone else... I looking for safer more rigid solution. My whole house lights, wall fans are all self installed one. Even the kitchen sink and electrical hob I ownself install.

Green plastic is 6.5mm.... so u only have 11mm to the edge....
Do the slant drilling ish all I can think of.
Not say drill like 45 degree lah, just slant 10-20 degree enough liao.

The hole inner is the concrete wall, that hole is just a false ceiling right?

 

[xtemujin]

I'm using KDK 5 blade for living room and 3 blade for the kitchen.

Both use 2 expansion bolts when I installed it as the mount has two holes.

No lah newer BTO the light points are all hidden. The light wirings are hidden in the concrete and the hole is the outlet for you to install lights. Solid concrete... so damned hard until my impact drill with general purpose drill bit cannot punch thru after 20mins. Had to buy a hammer drill with concrete drill bit....
