    Downlighters

    Evening evryone. How would you guys/gals wire in downlighters. Would you daisy chain them or would you use a JB and take a feed to every light? I normally daisy chain them, but had an argument with someone today who says its better to take a seperate feed to every light. Many Thanks Mark:D
