Default Electrical conductor that can carry a physical load?

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


He could use ASCR cable and hang 500lbs if he uses the right size. ^_^
