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

    The fittings I was going to use have two metal clips that fix to whatever surface you are attaching them to and then the fitting ‘clips’ onto these clips so it doesn’t look like I can use the standard bush and lock ring setup as the fittings are effectively ‘held of’ the surface bu the clips. I might have to come out if the trunking with flexible conduit and enter the fitting at one end. My original query was whether fittings should be mounted on trunking at all but your responses have indicated that they can. Thanks
