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
Use low voltage lighting and use two of your stainless steel cables as
the power carriers.
