I don't like them little JB's...I would use a J501 for downlights if I required a JB.

I didn't think a standard JB was allowed to be used floating because of the lack of strain relief? Though there must be millions of joint boxes installed that way around the country.

I get that but once the fitting is in the ceiling what strain is being put on the cables. What strain relief does a standard ceiling pendant offer that the jb in my pic doesnt?

That's a good point! I'm sure many of the regulations are trying to create solutions for problems that don't exist. I'll let you off anyway, LSF is never fun to terminate.

A little method I use sometimes for additional sockets fed from an existing RFC, A 16A MCB rather than 13amp FCU. Also in the enclosure is a 32a DP switch which is the last of a little stock I had, handy bit of kit. Yes the enclosure is insulated and not metal but I really don't have an issue with that in this instance. This one was fitted by my son, he's doing well. [No CPC sleeving on show for Westward 10 to get excited about this time].

[Dave OCD]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who makes up the odd thing from 'stock' . Should get a response or two eh.

Still laughing at that, Mrs thinks I've finally lost the plot.

Insulating tape ...

it will when the glue dries out.

..I thought it loved ouzing sticky everywhere -for ever. . !

Ended up re-terminating a DB after working on all but one of the circuits, made testing much easier. None of the neutrals or CPCs were in the correct terminals and most terminals were inaccessible as the cables went all over the place. I wish C50 boards were still made. The RCBOs all had really fast tripping times too.

The photo is a bit blurry, I must have been shaking with excitement.

New build I carried out earlier this year. I do suffer with a bit of OCD when it comes to fuseboard

Blimy that's a bit neat! DaveOCD will love that.

bloody neat that.them cables look as if they're on parade for a state occasion.

Look neater with 2mm CPC sleeving!
I might just copy and paste this statement from now on!!

@Daniel Masterton That Earth bar with the CPcs and the functional earths from the RCBOs look absolutely sweet. I'm gonna copy that and I thank you. I extended the earth bar last Wylex I did BUT since then I have purchased a bootlaces ferrule crimper and a box of ferrules. I might remember to post a picture, I might not!
