Thats concerning, I notice that push fit in line connectors have been used and burnt out along with a couple of wagos with this chocbox. What was the reason for the overheating?

The connectors weren't Wagos my friend, they were good old shxte choc block and is was all curled up together, directly above a fire "hood" above the 50w lamp, completely surrounded by insulation.

The heat has affected the T&E as its nearly firm now.

A realy terrible install and the heat build up has made the ceiling brittle too.

I've warned the client that when they have a new kitchen they should allow for a new ceiling and rewiring of the 22 lights!

Why would you want to 3 plate downlighters. Surely it's easier to take the feed to the switch then just run switch line back up to the lights. Atleast there are no hidden junction boxes for the next bloke behind you to find when something goes wrong. Then switch line into JB and heat flex into fitting.. Although if LED I suppose you could get away without the heatflex ??
