We have power in and power out complete with earth wires, plus the switch and lamp wires for two lights, all without cpcs, and then the orange flex feeding a second lamp on one of the circuits.Are there any earths on any of the circuits? But if this a spark asking the question back to college for you
I expect your looking at 60 years old wiring maybe you should look at getting it rewired
Very likely the comedian who added the orange flex, since it's numbered, and not the highest number.OP. Any idea who's numbered the cables?

Fitted dozens of them, back in the day, but there's better alternatives now.As for the JB would be better to have used 6terminal ashley 601, good quality JB.
They look to be in nice numerical order, to me. Nice, neat job.Very likely the comedian who added the orange flex, since it's numbered, and not the highest number.
Wagos with the silly little enclosures, not big enough IMO with that amount of cables.Fitted dozens of them, back in the day, but there's better alternatives now.
To be fair it is old twin cable with no cpc so in reality I would be looking at a re-wire sooner than later

Thats exactly why my chosen would be a 601 JB #18If the 'silly little enclosure' is not big enough then you have selected the wrong enclosure, it is hardly the fault of the product if you have selected the wrong thing.
Two cables have cpcs, and will be power in and power out. The cables without cpcs go to two switches and originally to two lamps. Standard wiring arrangement at the time.There are CPCs there, can't tell if they are in every cable or just most though.

I can't think why someone would use a screw terminal JB these days, when it's far quicker to wago type and make it maintenance free, whether needed to be or not.Thats exactly why my chosen would be a 601 JB #18
