wago lighting connectors

[harry olee]

I found it very difficult to close the normal wago box lid shut with 4mm twin and earth yet the cable retainer did not seem that secure with 1.5mm

What size Wagos were you using?

Hi Harry, there is an adjustment of the grippers that may help (?).

Always useful to read the instructions first.

Common bloke thing, like setting up the tv

what's wrong with using MF connectors in a suitable enclosure of your choice?

Because they're NOT maintenance-free connectors. It is the entire assembly which is.

I've used them in a big plastic plastic box for lighting ....A job I had meant I couldn't get access to the ground floor lights for a rewire so i did the jb method and took s/l neutrals to all my lights and switchlines to my switches via the floorboards and up the walls ...Made a doddle of connections . Also those cage clips which allows flex to be connected to solid for fiddly lights with crappy connectors ( you know the ones guys cb's with no room to get 2 solid 1.5mm2 in and those awful brass mini connectors ) I put them in a wago box Its just small enough/big enough to get through say a 76mm downlight hole ....Also I use them to break into a ring then return the 2.5 mmm not used anything bigger though ...
Anything that makes our life easier surely is a good thing No ?
