What is best way to attach electrical box in hollow wall to later hang a wall light?


Question:Wall studs are not nearby

Answers:
Hire an electrician.


You need to block in between your studs. Take a 2x4 and run it horizontally between the studs right above where you want your box. Then attach your box to that.
there is an expansion rod that you can buy at a electrical wholesaler that will solve your issue it runs $24.95. It clamps like an x on the back of the wall and works like a toggle screw but much bigger. Holds on 5 pounds
There are remodel boxes that actually clamp to the drywall or plaster. Ask at you home improvement place.
