line enclosures

Evening members

Hope you all had a brilliant christmas.
Could any of you tell me the dimensions of the line lighting enclosure for spotlights. Need them to fit through a 32mm cutout for a 1w led EL.

Thankyou

Luke

32mm that's very small

Its the cut out of an emergency lighting 1w led in a restaurant and they might be putting flats up above so i wanted to get it so the termination will pull through the hole

According to the Line website they are 2 inch in diameter so wont fit through the hole.

you're out of luck. line enclosure is 50mm.

 

[Lukethoma1985]

Awww bugga. I looked everywhere on the site and couldnt fine them. Is there any other enclosures around. Ive got the leds basically theres a live/neutral off the driver to connect to the EL radial

EDIT: Kack ain't going to work

Tel using metric measurements.....are you feeling alright there Tel?

Maybe you could use an enclosed terminal block something like these, wouldn't be my favorite method of making connections but I suppose if it's only a 1 watt load and it's accessible after the installation it will be fine.

What about an architrave back box with a blank (never seen an architrave blank cover - do they exist?)

We may have a winning idea here from rockingit (blanks for architrave boxes in link above)
Other not so brilliant possibility (And decidely rough) if no blanking plate had been available would have been to heatshrink the architrave box, covering wiring in and out....(desperate times call for desperate measures and all....) [actually thats a bit....too rough tbh...]

 

[Lukethoma1985]

Cheers guys, i forgot to mention keeping the earth connected in the EL radial. Bugger. Why couldnt they just do a loop in/loop out terminal on the driver. Took it apart and the live/neutrals soldered onto the circuit board. How about the wago connectors but they look abit rough on there own. Do there need to be in an enclosure as theres no accesible live parts?

 

[overskilled]

single insulated wiring i.e. exposed cores.

 

[Lukethoma1985]

Dohhhh

 

[Lukethoma1985]

Found a 3 terminal like yours tel. Cheers guys

Just use a length of conduit and fit cable glands on the ends.
(The 3 pole connectors you link to are 40 mm wide)

Now that is what I call a link.

Might just go through a 32mm hole:
13 Amp Cable Connector

I've used one of these to extend a flex that couldn't easily be replaced. Bit fiddly to connect while ensuring that the sheath is correctly inside, but doable.
