Hi All,
I am installing some wall lights in a new extension and as usual have the tails of the cables feeding the wall lights poking out of the wall (first fix) Just been informed that the client will be supplying their own wall lights and will connect them himself, due to the delay in getting the actual fittings.
My question is - is there a recognised way of leaving the cable end in some kind of connector, or box connection in the wall that will be safe to leave and to connect the wall lights to, rather than as normal just leaveing a 5A connector block on the end?

Junction box?

How about a metal k/o box for architrave switches, it's earthed and somewhere safe to hide the connectors.

Leave the circuit locked off untill the wall lights are fitted.

Just put a 5A JB on the end of it.

A 5A JB is the answer.
