Are you on about the connection between the fixed wiring & the wiring/leads to the LED lighting?

If so, normally a suitable JB, I've used Click Flow 102C. Or as is common in new builds, fixed wiring terminated in a flex outlet plate (& back box).

Yea that's what I mean thanks for that.
 
With all LED lighting its best to get the driver as close to the LED strip as possible. If its not possible you can of course place the driver further away but your need to run a larger cable to compensate for volt drop 1.5mm or 2.5mm depending on distance from driver to strip.
Best to avoid long runs of LED strip as volt drop causes the LEDs to drop off (be dimmer) towards the end of the tape. Higher voltage strip is better for longer runs.
with extra long runs ( like round large rooms or swimming pools) sometimes it is necessary to have multiple power supplys which supply amplifiers.
These boost the existing RGBW signals but give a fresh power supply.
