Been to a job today to install 2 huge blinglight light fittings that look very expensive, not the kind you see in B&q etc.
First light installed with no problems, glad to get it up om the ceiling because it looked like the slightest wrong move and something would break or fall off.
The second light is even bigger, but to my surprise quite easy to assemble and fix into the joist. Issue with this fitting is that it has 4 arms attached to a centre colum, off each arm there are 3 light fittings so 3 cables coming into the middle which adds up to 6 conductors, times this by the 4 arms plus one exta light in the middle of the fitting and you get a hell of a lot of conductors arriving at the bottom of the fitting. All of these conductors have to be connected to 1 live conductor making its way through the middle of the light and 1 neutral. All the conductors are aluminion stranded and in a clear insulation.
not much space to do all these connections but just about possible with the right connectors.
This is the million dollar question ! Any suggestions would be grateful, instructions hint on wire nuts, but I would be putting 5 in each one on the last count
