If you have a lighting transformer with primary and secondary leads for MR16 downlights, can you use WAGO push connectors to link the primary side to the mains lighting circuit? What are the recommendations for connecting lighting transformers to the mains if the are supplied with pre-terminated...
Hopefully im not the only one but has anyone got a good way of putting on MC3 connectors? trying to put in the rubber encasement has given me blisters on my thumbs by trying to twist them on. tried using a bit of fairy liquid on it but it just dries up with the heat of the outer sheath and...
Just playing around with a starter kit and the panels have MC3 connectors I have a load of MC4 connectors and crimper. Is it OK to cut off the MC3 connectors on the panels and change to MC4?
I know i can get convertors but thats more cost!
Can you buy sunclix connectors on their own? I can only find them with the inverters and we've got an install with MC4 connectors tomorrow - we usually only need MC3 and use the crimpers for those - don't really want to pay £silly for MC4 crimpers that I'm not likely to use very often.

They have shot up in price recently and I'm looking for a new supplier. Can anyone help / recommend anyone?
when using branch connectors in an array, for example 2 strings of 8 and the positives go to one branch and the negatives to the other one, there are only two cables going back to the inverter, does this mean that the same laws apply if branch connectors weren't used: amps double and volts dont?
Given job to lower sockets in kitchen to allow for new wall units. The cables won't reach the lower postion and lifting up the floor boards above to pull back and jb isn't included in the price.If I were to put the jb behind the wallcuboard would that classed as accessable?

I have some downlighters fitted by a previous owner (who I call Mr Bodge-it) at least 10 yrs ago. They are mains voltage and linked together.
I need to move at least 2 of them - they are both installed tight to joists and I want to draughtproof them (they are into the attic...
Have been given a large amount of LV's to fit into a apartment. And have been looking at trying the "click " connector to ease removal of lamps etc for future decoration etc .

When a customer wants a light fitting put up to replace a standard ceiling rose, what I would normally do would be to pull the 3 wires back into the ceiling void, join up with a junction box, and drop a tail back through the ceiling for connection to the light fitting. I understand that this...

Hi,
I understand that floating connectors blocks within an accessible junction box are a deviation from the wiring regulations. The connector base should be fixed. Is any one aware of the regulation number for this deviation?
Thanks

Installing a sunny boy at the moment. I thought all the connectors would be the MC4 type that replaced the MC3 ones. There seems to be some new ones that look simple to make off which came with the sunny boy. Is this sounding correct, the price of the dc crimpers are £300ish. These look an...
