choice of bx or cable for wiring lights

[ozeke]

I have finally found the time to wire some chandeliers for A church, the insurance inspector
wants the wire from the chandeliers to be wired straight to the electrical box, my question is
there some type of cable beside bx that I can use the would look A little more pleasing to the eye that I can use, or can I use the existing chandelier wire And run it straight to the electrial box. I told the church director that they can not use A regular plug receptacle to wire these lights, the receptacles are on the sealing.

While I think I understand what you are asking, it sounds like you are not qualified to do the work you describe.

If this is the sanctuary of a church, it is considered a performance area, and the rules are in NEC Art 520. Due to the occupancy, the wiring menthods are very restrictive. BX cable by the way is not a code term. You should get a qualified person to assist. This forum is not for DIY'rs. What bothers us is what else is not being asked about this installation.
