I can now do a junction "box" mf in 20 secs, switch loop and feed

[123]

I don't see what I could use these for in lighting. Even with LED panels as they don't accept flex terminations they don't appeal to me. Downlights I'd use Loop In Loop Out that comes with the fitting. Decorative light fittings to replace pendants, where the heck do I hide that thing?

However they could be brilliant as others have said for adding a spur on a ring or radial circuit when the existing cable is tight (if they ever make a suitable version)

what i meant with my post about the LED panels is that i had to add an extra 4 panels. this meant adding 4 branches to the 1.5mm T/E.as it happens i did my connections in the plug-in connectors (greenbrook from screwfux):

Nice exactly like that ! Thanks for the info

Something like these?

A customer of mine, who liked to buy most of the electrical materials, bought these which was nice to try...I like the idea....but i was not that impressed with the quality of these. The problem I had when I wanted to terminate all wires then fix the box in an awkward loft space. Using all T/E cable the push fits started to move away from the centre block due to me moving(flexing) the box exposing the metal interconnections (looked like a mini busbar). In this case it would have been quicker using pushfits + empty jcn box... I have also used the hager downlight jcn box over the years (J501) (2x T/E cables in one clamp...yes.. you can) also adapted with push fits.Technical Properties J501 - http://www.hager.co.uk/product-catalogue/wiring-accessories/junction-boxes/downlighter-junction-box/downlighter-junction-box/j501/41729.htm

Thanks @sparksfly. I know we are going off topic a bit here.
Shame things don't have the same build quality anymore, the surewire product is no good if it falls apart

Quite often when doing Large occupied rewires (especially If alone) I find it useful to re-wire the lights using a large joint box method, I just find it takes the pressure out of the job, as you can concentrate on a few lights or area at a time and not need to worry.
I'm not a big fan of feeding the light switch and the 3 plate method is a PITA if you have decorative fittings.
So in that respect I see the benefit of the product mentioned in the thread.

I'd still much rather have a nice accessible location where I could do a nice joint box, all labelled up. Now I know from reading past threads here some members think it's a bit rough and call it "spider wiring" but IMOH if done correctly (which is not hard) it makes a nice neat job. That is easy to maintain and fault find, but feeding the switch is the norm now, it's just all round and easier to understand I suppose.

I do expect this product to do quite well though, Its pretty well labeled and idiot proff (to some degree) I reckon I could tell my wife how to wire a basic light circuit with these and she would probably be able to do it. So our European multitrade friends will have no problem, neither will the passionate DIYer.
