When running cable across a grid or down a batten, is it better to tie the cable up with tie line or wrap the cable around the pipe? I think we wrapped it in college, and I have seen it done both ways recently. Partly past experience and seeming ease of labor makes me favor the wrapping method.
I've never been told if there is a reason for doing this one way over another. I am aware that wrapping the cable probably creates something of an inductor, but is it enough to hinder the operation of the dimmer/lights? Wouldn't coiling the cable at one end produce something of the same effect? As much as there are such things in this business, is there a standard way to do this? Number of ties or number or turns per foot or something like that?
