Maintenance strikes again!

Changing out T5 high bays to brighter UFO’s. The fixture was held up with rope, and four small Ty wraps. Directly above a workstation!

The tie wraps bother me more than the rope.

Yes, those aren't the black ones rated for weight. Tsk Tsk

Yeah, the white ones rot pretty quickly too, once I got up there, and seen that, I was hoping they wouldn’t break while I was moving it over to get to the j-box. I was on a one man lift, so I wouldn’t have been able to catch it on the platform.

Isn’t the green conductor suppose to be cut shorter than the rest so it takes all the weight when it falls?

No, that is what the fiber core in SO cord is for.
You just have to figure out how to attach it.

LOL! This was even worse, they cut the cord on the 400 watt HID that was there, then did a flying splice to the factory cord on the fluorescent, it would have dropped 10’ before it broke loose! LOL!
