Hi all
I have a light fitting tat will not go over a standard ceiling rose, I as thinking if putting a recessed round back box in the plasterboard and using wago connectors never used before. hen using th mounting fixtures to but the bracket on to mount the light. what's your thoughts on this as will be part o my part p assessment.
Regards
Dave
 
wagos can be enclosed by the light fitting itself. no need for a wagobox. use lever wagos.
 
ok cheers my thoughts on the round patress box was it a metal fiting and is loop in to next light so 3 t&e plus light wires
 
OK, so you need a 3 port wago for perm L. a 3 port wago for N. and a 2 port wago for S/L to lamp L. and a 3 port for cpc's.use lever wagos as they will accept flex. basically you are using each wago as a single terminal choc block.

bear in mind that this will take 3 x L's or 3 x N's etc. don't make the mistake of thinking it's L,N.E or you'll get a big bang.

Reminds me of all the times I've had to go round clearing up after the plasterers have been removing and refitting pendants. "Shove all the reds together in one and all the blacks together in the other lads!"

Ah that used to be my bread and butter ÂŁ30 a go
Get the call someones bought a new light, put it up and it has gone bang
Get the red tape (yep red ) and the fuse wire card and we are good to go !!
 
Quicker to install.....both push fit and levers.....no messing around with multiple cores at screw terminals. Wagoboxes have integral cable clamp / strain relief.
