lutron controls? How di you find them?

Well its just a glorified switch as I reminded my trainee when introducing them. The client was wanting a dali control system for an art studio and I suggested that may be slightly over specced for dimming and switching lights.
I found their tech. dept. very good delivery very poor (apparently unusual for lutron) However the wiring and settting up when we did get them was pretty straightforward and they did work well. We used the pico remote on the RMK-5T-DV-B, very straight forward the trainee once shown could wire them no problem. The response of the control is "lazy" i.e. not immediate so can be disconcerting when using the remote and incline you to press a few times. However just press once and wait. If the remote units are close it can be problematic programming separate controllers. Apart from that absolutely easy install and function great.

As I am a bit unusual I counted up the connections and lost count at 500 separate connections over 24 lights! doing the lutron controllers and supplies and interconnections of the panels. Ignore this.

Thanks for the link Lee, been waiting for Connexbox to come up with something bigger, for when I do bathroom refurbs' with lights, vanity mirror, extractor fan, local rcd, shaver socket etc etc.

That said, I now need to have a stock of 221 & 222 connectors!

Wiska boxes are my current favourite for this type of job. I'll definitely be getting some large wagoboxes though.

For multiple cables I'll normally use a standard adaptable box and drill/fit as many 20mm nylon dome top glands as needed for strain relief . Generally use the Ideal connectors rather than Wago as I like the idea of the 2,3 and 4 port variants all being rated at 32 amps. Of course that's neither here nor there for lighting.

These look ideal for addressing cowboy lighting wiring. Ever come across a mass of cables hidden under insulation in a loft? Last surveillance visit I had I asked the inspector about such situations but he said you shouldn't be correcting other electricians wiring... That said, replacing a host of choc block etc with wagos and putting it all in one of these boxes would seem to be an ideal solution...
