ceiling mount

Overhead attachment point

A ceiling mount is a bracket or fixture that attaches something to a ceiling—typically a projector, television, fan, or light fixture.

The term functions both as a noun for the hardware itself and as a verb: We need to ceiling mount the projector before the presentation.

Ceiling-mounted equipment saves floor and wall space while positioning devices overhead.
