Quickwire Prewired Junction Box

Could just be me being picky, but where is the green/yellow cpc sleeving supposed to go?

I guess you don't need it cos its not exposed? Oddly enough the sample pack I was given of the 'switch & load' variety comes with a tiny 5mm bit of brown sleeving!

The other gripe I have is I needed two different screwdrivers when terminating the plug part that connects to the lamp. And I just couldn't find a driver that fitted nicely and didn't keep popping out of the screws.

I'd be interested in hearing other peoples experiences and advice

I find that modulo1 screwdrivers work OK for the screws, Click do make the connectors with the cable clamps but trying to fit four tiny screws back into the fitting when you are balanced with the light at ceiling level is not fun, pushing the un stripped cable through the clamp and then stripping it is easier but only just. The ones with slots definitely do not hold a cable from being pulled. I wish they had invented tapered cable entries for the terminals, too often trying to get multiple cores into the terminals in the limited space does not go easily. I did notice when changing terminal blocks with tape for click flow connectors that the terminal spacing was the same which was easier with the angled conductors.

The quickwire look OK but price is the overriding factor with easy testing being next, though I suppose I could make up a test block with 4mm sockets and pre stripped T&E attached, so long as the connector was not fully utilised; easier to do with a click flow and also R1+R2 with a L_E link in a Click plug. Having to have a removal tool available to release the cable is just going to be a nuisance.

I used the Click CT102c (you must have fat fingers Richard) when replacing ceiling rose for customer luminaire for example. Connexbox Wagobox, for slightly more complex lighting alterations, and recently Connexbox Wagobox-XL for bathrooms with fans, vanity mirrors etc.
