code requirements for hanging ceiling lights

john02139
12 years ago

Hi,

Are there code requirements that prevent hanging pendents and chandeliers with the same wire that carries the current? If so, is there a type of wire (say with with a structural component) that would be acceptable for this purpose.

Thanks,

John
