Good morning all.
I will be installing some downlights in a hung ceiling.
In reading around 314.23 (D) , It looks like fastening to the grid is enough (1).
Yet (2) mentions support wires....
In the past I've installed the lay ins (flourescents) that at the time just had to be secured to the grid.
Then several years ago the fixture also required it's own support wire (wires) also.
Where is it stated that these 2x2 or 2x4 flourescents "have to be supported with support wire also?
Is there a weight or size issue that I'm not finding?
Does it have something to do with the 100 inches cubed inches in (D) ?
Are high-hats required to be both secured to the grid and have separate support wires to the building???
Thank you,
Rich
