How to use a junction box

Not!!!
Found this on a recent eicr, it was feeding a couple of outside lights, there was a lid on it so I presumed it was being used in the usual way, the training centres must be so proud.

Still got it mixed up as well.

I should have emphasized the word TRYING lol.

Armour continuity?

Good man, it is scary that someone probably walked away from that chuffed with their effort.

Cable entry in box taped over.
Box lid was not securely sealed as there is dirt on the edge.
No sign of sealing around the screw heads (though the washers may do this).

Can we see any other issue's with it!

Also i would say its better to leave some of the sheath around the cores when glanding off.

Maybe a personal preference but just seems the better way of doing it.

Not just your personal preference, it's the way it should be done.
