Installing heavy/bulky external light fixture

I need to install a new heavy/bulky outside light fixture (all wiring is in place) and I need advice
on best way to support it while I am connecting up the wires.
Thanks.

I usually just use a short piece of stiff wire with hooks on both ends to temporarily suspend the fixture while I am connecting the wires.

We can't see where you are installing the light or the fixture you need to hang so... you just have to get creative. Support it any way possible. A piece of rope to something above. Stack things up to support it from below. Get a helper...
