Hi all,
Some help is required, I am currently trying to run network + 12v cable out to my dog kennels (for cctv cameras) and have a slight problem working out how the conduit should be installed correctly. The run is only short but the cables must exit mid way up and in the middle of an...
Have been given the job of changing a bank of office light fittings over to shiny new class 2 jobs. Lights are wired 3 plate from a junction box so that only 1 cable is then taken to the first fitting and then linked to remaining fittings. The junction box takes the form of an 80mm x 80mm...
Hi there,
I've just had a sparky come round and do this work, but i'm not sure it's correct, or even legal. But i'm no spark. Please see the attached picture.
The junction box is where the light switch used to be, but we've put a fake wall up and as such needed the light switch there and this...
i've got to replace a board, it's in a stupid location (behind a garage door frame) and wants moved about 4 foot to the left. half of the circuits come throught the back of the board along with the tails and the other half are clipped to the black wall and go up.
ideally i want an enclosure...
Hi
My friends electrician father wired in some lights for him, originally taking a feed from switched live in junction box to 3 separate pendant lamps, so that's 3 separate cables running from the junction box to the lamps. This set up worked, the father then added 3 more lights in the same...
Just a quick one guys. Just wanted to clarify something which I've heard many opinions on... Is it acceptable to have a junction box under floorboards?
Just doing a lighting rewire and several lights are of the kind without the loop-in/out/switch terminals, just the line, neutral, earth...
Dear Forum Member,
LINE is pleased to announce the launch the BS5733 maintenance free (MF) kit for our junction box.

Hi,
Just a quick question regarding lighting circuits. I believe some people are wiring loop in circuits with junction boxes in the void rather than terminating at the lamp fitting. Seems a pretty good idea with regards to less connections at the light fitting. However my understanding of the...
Hello All,
I am new here so please forgive if there any mistakes. A month ago I was planning to install a couple light which go under the wall mounted kitchen cupboards. Upon finding a junction box which I tested a with a multi electrical test meter that the when the light switch is...
Hi everyone, I'm a newly qualified electrician. Can someone please clarify for me the accessibility of the junction box. Where is it acceptable to put a junction box or not. Can a junction box be put under floor boards and in the ceiling void for spotlights? Thanks.
Hi chaps.
Put a couple of additional lighting fixtures into a kitchen. Now got a hole in the wall where the spagetti of cables is connected up with Wagos (by the way, this is not a clients place, it's ours so I've overlooked the regs for this "temporary" fix!)
I've got a cavity of about 30mm...
A customer has complained to me because I have used 5 junction boxes to extend cables to a new consumer unit one metre away from the original position. She says the boxes are ugly and spoil the aesthetics of her garage (Please don't ask me why). She says there should be a way of combining the...
I'm extending my kitchen which requires me to cut into the downstairs ringmain for further extension for more sockets. Is it safe and legal to use a 30AMP junction box (it's not possible for me to continue from an existing socket) to start the ringmain extension and loop back into using a...
Hi there
Downstairs hall lights have no way of being turned off from upstairs
i want to insert intermediate switch upstairs into the circuit, unfortunately walls have just been decorated and have got the floorboards up and found the wiring but cannot pull the cable up the wall, seems to be...
Hi
I want to add a single ceiling rose that is controlled by its own switch onto an existing lighting circuit. Ive drawn up a wiring diagram of how I think it should be done, can anyone please clarify whether its fine or do I need to go back to the drawing board!
Thanks
Is there any reason under 17th why a lighting circuit (notionally a radial) shouldn't have a "distribution" tapped off it part way along, rather than looping in at each switch or luminaire? - By this I mean a junction box, which then serves power to sets of luminaires and switches off to the...
Hi, help please.
I'm moving an electrical socket, only a few inches, and want to use the existing box as a connector/junction.
Is there a specific connection product, on a blanking plate, or should I use block connectors?
Or should I buy a junction box, and plaster over. In which case what...
Been out to a call out this afternoon to a house with most of their downstairs lights not working. Owners say they "failed" at the same time that a bulb blew.
So I've looked at each lighting point in turn and my conclusion is that above, (or there abouts) each and every light, is a hidden...
