Can I support Light Fixtures on Conduit racks? Does the code allow?

[schicco]

Please find the attached PDF of details which I created and a photo of transformer room ceiling. The photo was taken before installation of power racks. The transformer rooms have a curved ceiling and a curved ceiling beam. To support the fluorescent light fixtures I am mounting strut system on beams and then suspend rods to fixtures, however because the beam is curved is I am using a swivel connection to achieve a vertical drop down of fixture support rods.

My boss thinks implementing my idea would be a cumbersome task, so he is proposing supporting the light fixtures on existing conduit racks.
Here is my question; is this not a code violation?

Thanks

Steve

If there is wire in there I believe it's a violation.
You can hang them off conduit if it is NOT a raceway

I think that OP was talking about hanging off a rack, assuming strut, that is supporting conduit runs. If supported by the strut rather than the conduit, shouldn't he be ok?

The racks can support more than just conduits.

that was what I thought he meant too. and I agree there is no NEC violation in doing so.
