5 to 7 way plugin rose/socket required

[cobrauk]

We are installing hanging lights in a room and need at least 5 cores to join them using a plugin rose/socket system, I know about Flex7 (Products - Flex Connectors - Flex Connectors) which is a 7 way plug and socket but they are ugly things, anyone know of a better looking item ?

Klik don't make them as far as I know ?

HI,

Lewden do a 5 pin plug and socket, but their pretty ugly too; especially in the environment you will be using them.

Regards.

Hi,
Another option 2 x Klik plug in ceiling roses mounted side by side, only problem is you would have to ensure both were unplugged to do the maintenance?

Regards

Wago do a modular wiring range of plug in connectors up to 5 pole.

Hi Guys Thanks for replying

unless i didn't find what you did it seems to be a in line connector, I need to go from fixed wiring to flex ?

Clive "Another option 2 x Klik plug in ceiling roses mounted side by side" yes we did this once using 4 pin and 3 pin thinking they were not exchangeable but they are, so we had to change them we have 230 v L N E and 2 Dali cores to connect so we cant have them switched around.

Hi, I'm currently having the same problem.....I wonder how you ended up getting round it?

Could the joint not be made out of the way? In a service riser or such like, although I'm sure all scenarios have been thought about!

No. Light fittings come with a 5 core flex factory fitted.

Have the light fittings etc already been bought/specified. Do they need to be plug in necessarily?
I've worked on a few Lighting setups recently that incorporated DALI or DSI dimming. All of which were run from lighting boxes, fittings bought to required spec. Lights don't come pre-flexed but you buy 5 and 6 core leads with plugs to match the lighting control box. We actually hard wired some of the rooms in singles through galv conduit, terminating in a through box with a ceiling rose lid for 5/6 core flex to come through to fitting.

Hi I've used the cp electronic gear before which was good

Yeah that's the stuff we have used a fair bit, never had any issues with it.

 

[tommo1]

I found it quick and easy to use

 

[CTID]

Yeah we've used it in a number of large commercial buildings, colleges, NHS buildings etc. Great flexibility.

To the OP could you not fit a modular system into a large adaptable box and gland the flex out of it. At least it wouldn't look as obtrusive if it's on show.

Yes the lights are already bought and they come with a 3m 5core flex. They will be dimmed via a retractive switch/ Dali control. I have also hard wired the lights through conduit but I'm struggling to come up with something where I can connect the fixed wiring to a 5c flex at a besa box. How did you terminate in a through box?
