Mounting Luminaire to Drop Ceiling Surface

[xguard]

Is there a code requirement preventing the lights to be mounted to the drop ceiling in this way? Appreciate the feedback.

They need to be attached to the T bar and each fixture supported by wires or chains from the structure above in two places.

I worked a project years ago where we shot hanger wires to the ceiling about every 8 feet, 1 each side of the main runners. Supported runner with hanger wires, then attached Peerless lights to the runners. Haven't see that anywhere else. This was a Cisco Systems building.

How do you think these are attached? I was just sent the photo.

I have seen 3/4" plywood cut to the size of the tile and laid on top of the tile to provided support.
