Hello,
I am going to mount a lighting fixture on the facade which has three 6mm holes for mounting.
It is made of cast iron and catches some wind, so I would like to anchor it well with the right screw.
The problem is that I can't find lightweight concrete screws with a diameter of max 6mm with a flat head (and preferably they should be black).
Essve's Heavy Load screw is 10mm for example.

Any tips?

(I don't want to use chemical anchors)

When it comes to the color, maybe a black marker pen will do if it's just a few screws. I think it might be good enough for something located outdoors.

Yes, that is the last resort, but I still need to find hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel screws as mentioned above.
 
Now I don't know what the glory looks like, but large fixtures and lightweight concrete seem like problems right away. I would probably make a bracket first that is screwed into the wall and then the fixture into that. A bit of DIY first, in other words. But yes, maybe it's not that big after all?

I think it should work with the right screws.
The plaster itself is hard.

Can't you just buy some regular screws and plug the holes? There isn't exactly a great selection of lightweight concrete screws.

I bought aerated concrete plugs and long installation screws, will have to paint them black.

A bit late, but rännkroksskruv is available in black, among others,
But maybe a bit short, 35mm.
