My comments, in that I love looking at photos and noticing things about gear in use but not saying that what works is wrong persay. More the attempt to learn how and why it's done in the field especially the way it has been in the past by way of comment/questions and discussion.
Interesting that the channel strips are bolted thru in mounting fixtures, unless there is tubing inside to protect bolt from hitting the internal wires. I would not think the gutter was structural, and I know it's against code to use a wire way for means of attachment/thru-bolting unless using a seperated area for mounting and wire way. Not that it is not done especially with lamp bars, just the first I have seen any thing like this in a perminant install.
Wondering where the batten pipe normally associated with such power strips are for mounting to?
Or is this the type of strip that has the Unistrut slot for mounting fixtures to it?
Interesting also that the scoop's up side down, though most lamps today have universal burn. I'm used to the "Burn Base UP" when I see radial fixtures. Is that second chain in the photo a safety cable for the scoop? What is it bolted to on the fixture?
Interesting the jack chain in use. I take it for granted the rusty steel strap is the means of mounting and not the chain.
Now that's a Fresnel. One heck of a knob atop it. Kind of looks like a Century/Strand. Where's it's safety cable?
