Situation:
A healthy debate started today in the shop regarding whether we are allowed to hand LED light fixtures from EMT using jack chain. (EMT is installed to code).
I've always been trained that it was not permissible to hang or support a device from EMT conduit but as I really read the code, I haven't found where it is that clear. I see where I can't attach other raceways or cable to it and I cannot allow it to be the only support for an enclosure or light but the pictures in the code refer to a device being attached to the end of the conduit rather than hanging from it.
I'm on the fence with it as it is a very easy way to install the lights and they are very light so I'm not worried about the conduit capacity. However, I was always brought up believing that was shoddy work...
