    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.

    Prately 3-way junction box - time needed

    Mostly for weatherproof SWA junctions, I've tended to use Wiska boxes and piranha nuts for earthing, with gel if needed.
