help spot light wiring for apprentice

[Mwoods4757]

hi there looking for some help with spot light wiring. currently wiring a new build flats and there is spot lights thorugh out the flat. they are on two circuits and each room is switched individually.
how would this be wired. we are not allowed to take the feed to the switch. so would i take the feed to the first spot and connect in a choc box then loop from this light to to the rest in the room. also from this light would be a switch line to the switch. would i also go from this frist point to the second room then loop of that light for that room?

Loop in at the light is the method youre looking for

So it's just no different to normal loop wiring with pendants?

we are not allowed to take the feed to the switch

Why? It's a lot better than running it all to a hidden joint box, especially one in a ceiling which you will have no access from above too

If you're an apprentice, why not ask the Electrician you're working with?

and don't FFS use choc blocks unless inside a suitable enclosure. i recommend the line products. then flex to the fittings. (heat resistant if halogens)

Come on guys this is another college question, don't listen to these lot, this is the way to do it,

soak string over night in water use it instead of cable it's a lot easier to manipulate into the fittings, this is the answer your tutor is looking for its a trick question believe me

What ever you decide to do just make sure that ALL connections will be accessible once the plasters have finished.

I keep on looking at problems, in newish work where numpties have put screw type junction boxes where they are not accessible.

Because people don't give a shat anymore and have no pride in their work

Reminds of an old billboard advert for a holiday company that always stumped me.

"If Thompson don't do it, don't do it.
But if they do do."
Pray tell, what's an extinct bird got to do with summer holidays?? :confused5:

.....but.. but.. but it was accessible at the time.... that's because there was no ceiling.
