Downlights

[gavjamin1989]

how do you wire your down lights because I've been taught to put the twin and earth in connectors then flex out to the light and put a choc box over the connection as regulations state that twin and earth can only be connected into fixed lights is this true or have a been fed a load or old rubbish

I always use 17th edition J/Bs,spot on for downlighters
Ashley J501 16 Amp Downlighter Junction Box Ashley J501
16 Amp Downlighter Junction BoxThe IEE Wiring Regulations state that terminals shall not be subject to undue stress,
i.e. taking weight of cables or fittings.
Currently a high proportion of Junction Boxes are installed behind Downlighters or
decorative light fittings, where moving the Junction Box in to position after wiring
could cause stress on the terminations.

With the NEW Ashley J501 Junction Box, these obstacles can be overcome.

Ashley can provide a quick and easy means of connecting fixed wiring to flexible cables of downlighter fittings based on 3 main benefits:

1. Easy to use
2. Wide application suitability
3. Compliance with latest regulations
