Hi lads, bit of a random one. A friend has just bought a café and wants a few wall lights installed. There is already PVC trunking run high up, the whole way along one side of the café for the fire alarm stuff. So I thought running another one right next to/underneath it for the new lights is the best option- (I hate using trunking anywhere!). The lights his wife has bought are the copper looking industrial type that you usually see with the big exposed filament bulbs. I think that it'll look best dropping down to each fitting in 20mm galvanised conduit (from MT2 trunking high up). Not ideal but will look better than running trunking down. Problem is MT2 doesn't give you the depth to use bushes and lock nuts to join them together so have thought about putting a coupler on the end of the conduit with a PVC bush and butting it up to the trunking? or a small patress with blank plate under the trunking above each light point and running conduit into there. Any neater ideas? not ideal but he's on a tight budget and can't afford it to be all done in galv. Cheers!
