Hello,
I am an expat living in Estonia.
My wife bought this picture light box from a second hand shop. It seems hand made when I took it apart. Looking at the cable and how thin the wiring is, is this okay plugged in to 230v? It seems a very thin cable to me to be carrying 230v.

Ok, ideally a board change to cover every circuit, but hey-ho
Am I right in saying it will have to be Eaton make, anyone know which numbers?

As the title suggests I have been tasked with finding something big and safe enough to hold a 5core 70mm cable with crimped lugs, it needs to be ip rated. The company are asking for it as the equipment they are connecting will need to be disconnected now and again. I was thinking maybe there...

Thanks
