1. A method of installing construction mounts on an installation surface, the method comprising:
positioning a light module so the light module is directed at the installation surface;
mounting the light module in place on a handheld tool by a light mount so that the light module and the handheld tool move together;
operating the light module to project a predefined pattern of multiple lighted indicia onto the installation surface, wherein the predefined pattern defines installation locations for the construction mounts;
installing the construction mounts at the installation locations on the installation surface by operating the handheld tool to install a first one of the construction mounts at a first one of the installation locations with the light module and the handheld tool in a first position; and
mounting the light module in place on a static-use support by the light mount so that the light module remains static in the first position while the light module is operated to project the predefined pattern onto a first section of the installation surface and while the handheld tool is repositioned to install the construction mounts at all of the installation locations while the light module is in the first position.
