[QUOTE="binky, post: 503181, member: 490"] it's considered good practice to use tray, but it's not for mechanical protection. You're probably only running a few lighting ccts so does seem overkill. The only issue with cable ties ( and I'm not sure this applies to industrial buildings) is that in the event of a fire, ties will melt easliy dropping cable down over walkways which can be a hazard for the Fire Brigade, so I would suggest using stainless steel cable ties at regular intervals along the cable run.
