Re: temporary installation
This is a pretty common occurrence. Seems that on a lot of commercial jobs the painter wants permanent lighting so he can see what the finished product will look like. It shouldn't be a problem.

Re: temporary installation
Why not just drop the temp lights below the new ceiling?

Re: temporary installation
here we cannot get a ceiling ok until the new lights are energized. I usually drop all the temp lights and associated wiring below the grid first chance I get so that there are no issues or questions about temp wiring being left above the grid.
