I got a PowerModule quite a few months back and I am quite happy with it other than the fan noise.

Currently it is hanging from my old (Tek-light) hanging equipment because I can't find the right hanger bolt.

It looks like it is metric sizing, an M6 (6 mm size) hanger bolt.

Looking online I can't find these unless I want to buy 100 of them.

Anyone have any idea where to find these?

If a regular hex bolt will work try an autoparts store. You just need to know bolt size and thread pitch if you cant take the bracket with you.

Canadian Tire has a reasonable assortment of common metric bolts....

Thanks. It is a double-ended hanger bolt, one end is a 6 mm bolt and the other end is a wood screw.

McMaster Carr sells them singly if you end up having to order them online.

I appreciate the offer, they don't seem quite long enough to get a good bite on the wood in my ceiling so I'll order the McMaster ones.

Thanks, I am seeing if they will ship to Canada. Don't know why they don't include the hanger bolts with the PowerModules.

OK this is just a follow-up post in case anyone is looking for these hangar bolts and searches this thread in the future.

I ended up getting a pack of 10 of these hangar bolts delivered from Europe. So if anyone needs a pair of them PM me.
