Cable or Conduit

(OP)
Need to install audible and flashing light alarms as an overflow warning from tanks a floor below so I'm running my tank signals through a junction box to all over the main floor its a 24vdc signal so I'm wondering what is the cleanest way to distribute the signal.  The lights are mounted on a large machine and the bell will be close enough to the junction box and on the wall so it will be simple to run conduit and my 2 signal wires.  

The lights will be away from the box though and with high bay ceiling running conduit up the wall and across the ceiling seems like a waste and buying cables and taking up room in cable tray for the machine also seems like a waste. Can I attach conduit to my support frame for my cable tray and run my conductors through there without reducing its capacity or anyone else have any ideas other than cables or running conduit up the roof and then down to my lights?
