Mounting lights on trunking

Baldyhugh
Hi


A customer of mine has asked me to fit some lights on an existing job that I am currently in the middle of. I have a 3x3 galv trunking suspended at high level and was considering mounting a few 5 foot led vapourproof fittings directly to the underside of the trunking. It would be the simplest way that I can see but have never done it like this before and was wondering if it was an acceptable method. 


thanks

    It would be fairly easily done with two dia 20 brass bushes through the bottom of the trunking and into the fitting its self -one at either end of the fitting. (One brass bush is just there to hold the fitting up though not for cable access/egress) -  assuming that the trunking is indoors and the IP rating is not that important. This will allow the cables to get in and hold the fitting up onto the trunking. Easy job. Put the sharp part of the bush and the lock ring inside the fitting and leave the nut part of the bush in the trunking so any future cable pulls in the trunking flow freely over the bush with no sharp edges in the trunking. 


    Kind Regards
