    You need to find the where the joists are and attach to those. Otherwise you may end up on your bum surrounded by plasterboard.

    You could have a square bit of wood on the top of the pole so the load is more evenly dispersed, rather than a small point. Think of a high heel standing on you vs a flat shoe.

    Spreading the load over the ceiling will do little. It's needs to be fixed directly to structure, either timber joists or concrete slabs.

    What width is the pole. A standard hike cutter for a down lighter may cut a perfect hole that lets you go straight to concrete slab
