Stanchion Lighting

[guggemos]

A previous designer spec'd a wall mount fixture type to be used as a stanchion mount fixture. The wall mount fixture has a junction box with 4-3/4" hubs. The bottom hub is used to connect a 3/4" RGS conduit to a walkway. The 3/4" conduit is braced off the handrail. This is all in lieu of the proper stanchion mount type fixture. Is there a NEC or OSHA reference for the use of a proper stanchion mount fixture with a 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" conduit stanchion instead of this backyard mechanic setup? The manufacturer is surprised same as I that it was inspected and passed and stated the fixture will physically fail.
