Mains downlighters

[peterb2428]

i jb them and have a flex going to the light!
hope this helps

You normally wire them in a star pattern then?

 

[peterb2428]

twist and tape!

Was thinking helacons

 

[peterb2428]

Wagos in a choc box the 2 core flex out to the downlight.

See everyone has said flex as opposed to standard t+e

Easier to terminate if the fittings terminals are tiny, which most tend to be.

chocie box/ heat resistant flex out to the light .
no flamin cpc twisting
see D/L wired direct to t&e , usually the ones that stick out due to the stiffness of the cable pushing on em ,total rubbish and no need!

Would agree with what your saying.

 

[jeremy]

Those that use flex, do you ferrule or tin the ends?

Never had any sticking out due to stiffness but could see that happening - so junction box then 2 core flex connecting each it is.

Thanks

Usually if the cutout is a little to big

 

[peterb2428]

twist and tape could work loose ,Ashley J501 jb as the cables should be clamped and a flex to the down lighter

Just looked at these and they look good - i like the fact they have three ways

 

[peterb2428]

Wago's in a wago box or choc box, flex to d/l.

I hate fiddly JB's

Do choc boxes have a three entry/exit unit (not sure that makes sense) or do you still have to clamp two cables together on exit for downlights

Do you have a link

Do you have a link

Click Flow 16 Amp Push-in Connector

You also get them with screw down cord grip which makes them ok for the 17th edition

 

[Amp David]

Used the clicks once, but the cable grips didn't seem to hold the 1.5 t+e very well.

Do you choc box every down light or just the first then piggy back your flex to the rest????????????????????????????????????????????

i use hundreds especially for down lighters rated at 16 amps or you can use the maintaince free ones 801's i think rated at 20 amp they are not cheap but a very proffesional finish and so easy to use
