Question: what are the requirements for tie off of light fixtures (Standard 2ft by 4ft florescent)? I am finding out the weight of the fixture.
Some of the fixtures are tied off to the wall (light gage steel stud) not the roof structure and some of the wires are tied off with two wires on one side of the fixture.
I am used to seeing the fixtures tied off on opposite corners (diagonal).
Question: Is there a code or standard that requires the tie wires to be on diagonal corners (not the same side)?
Also I thought that there was a code or standard that required the fixtures be tied off to the roof structure (not the walls). However I cannot find this section now.
Question: is there a code or standard that requires the tie wires securing the light fixture be secured to the roof structure or something secured to the roof structure? Or can the tie wires be attached to the wall?
