Haphazard lighting layout.

[Jurassic Spark]

In my last 5 rewires, I've started running live & neutrals to each switch position into deep switch/socket boxes and looping to each switch position. With this method, you only have one twin cable at the light position.

The neutrals are connected using Wago push fit connectors which incidentally, you can use for inaccessible connections provided they're within an enclosure which has provision for anchoring the cables.

i have seen push fit connector blocks which apparently do not need to be accessible but if you have a good pair of ratchet crimps and individually amalgamate tape each joint to disallow moisture ingress and movement( having pulled each joint to test for fastness), I see nothing wrong with this, though I'm not in charge and i'm sure I'll be corrected

1 neutral to the rose? I dont get it mate?

Mark

unless its only 1 light

well of course you got to link off the first neutral to your next ,just thought that bit was obvious.

dinosaur thats okay but what about the carpet ? Wouldnt you need to cut that also to make it easily accessible !!!!

Got access panels under my carpets noone has ever complained or said it cant be done. Like Shakey asked a couple of months ago - what is the definition of accessable?

You can roll a carpet back you cant roll sodding chipboard sheets back!!!!!

[Mike P]

If it's the same product then yes. It comes in a case with all the bits and think of the time saved trying to lift boards etc

Just bought some Ashley non maintenance junction boxes - they're brilliant, very quick push fit and loads of room in them. I'm not going to use anything else from now on.

Seen them at £3.40 + vat (seems expensive) how much did you pay?

32A were £2.20 - 20A were £2.50 from BEW Distributors. But I think they are the only ones that are 17th compliant.

Think you can get dryline junction boxes which you can fit in the ceiling and then screw the rose/fitting to it. That way the wires are accessible but not actually in the light fitting.
