'Tell you what', I agree. no bat wings needed.
no mention of distance from "junction boxes".

let'r' rip if shorter than 6'.

But now.... 2' tiles,2 in between each fixture,and the fixture plate in the middle of a 2' fixture.

(side by side)
End to end-- 2'- 4'- 2'- Now you need support.

Sloppy assistant..you can easily be over 6'. Ahh But who will check?
