how much weight on a 1/2 conduit hanger?

[pompeyjohn]

Ideally I'd like to be able to hang two generic Chinese led lights from one bent conduit. Would that be too much weight?

I used 3/4" to hang my 2 and its solid. The 1/2" ones. I saw seemed to bow from the weight

Thanks MrMatt. I have a 1/2 conduit bender which is why I was hoping that would work. I'll see if I can use the 3/4 bender in store

Did you go with just one 90degree bend, or two?

 

[MrMatt83]

I made mine out of three pieces, two with 90 bends coming from the back then a cross bar atatched with 90 fittings.

just putting it out there..
But obviously how far you cantilever the light is going to effect how much weight it can support.

I asked the guy that was working in the electrical section a Lowes to do it for me.
He messed up the first piece and set it aside. Got the next just right.
The lady at the checkout counter asked me if it was alright if my conduit was bent. She said she was sure they had straight ones back there. lol

I have just one 90* bend and it holds a single 250 radium
