These guys tested the 3/4" with downward (Shear) pressure and it failed at 300+ LBS. with 1/2" drywall. http://www.todayshomeowner.com/testi...cture-hangers/

That capacity will NOT be the same with tension pressure(like hanging chandelier) but it can easily hold half that amount. I have personally tested a hang kit with these and it help me up no problem.

What important is the your drywall is sound. Do NOT hang if the drywall has been repaired.

Here is the shipping weight of each fixture…
