Hi,

I'm thinking about building a ceiling light out of wood. It will weigh
about 10lb. Just wondering - is there any way the conductor could also
carry the mass?

Thanks!

That's pretty heavy for a cable to carry, why not use a steel cable
clipped
to an electrical cable

Aesthetics. I imagine four supports: three steel cables and one
conductor. So I guess 2.5lb on the conductor... Still a no go?

They do make fixtures that dangle off of a three conductor plastic cord,
typically only a couple of pounds. If you have multiple cables, they're a
pia to adjust. What about chain or 1/8" threaded pipe
