Workshop lighting question

[Esox Lucius]

I am about to "hang" 2 x twin 6foot strip lights with IP65 ratings.

I am having to use jack chains due to the roof space and need a little advice on how to fit the jack chains to the light units.

There are no hooks or eyelets to put the chains in to support. I had thought about drilling a hole into the plastic case and inserting a small bolt through the chain links but dont feel that confident that it would support the weight.

Has anyone used jack chains on ip65 (sealed units against dust, damps etc) and how did they work around it?

Thanks in advance

How about a couple of these

cut down if necessary

fitted in holes drilled about 18ins in from each end with a penny washer either side

and you can cable tie the flex to the chain

Hi,

Don't you use these http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CO ... 4Qodxi8LZg they have the correct hole centers for conduit boxes and the light should have holes or indications of where to drill.

Thanks all for the replies.

I have acctually taken them back to my local supplier who has swapped them for ones with inbuilt jack chain hooks.

It totally threw me when i opened them and what i thought i was getting was not there.
