Hi,

When fitting double insulated downlights wired in parallel what is your preferred way of joining and insulating the earth cables to ensure continuity?

Wagos in a choc box the 2 core flex out to the downlight.

twist and tape could work loose ,Ashley J501 jb as the cables should be clamped and a flex to the down lighter

Wagos for me. I don't like twisted/twisting cpc's. the twisting weakens the conductor and a pain if they need to be isolated for fault finding

Don't think he was being serious was he???

I've seen it often enough to not take that for granted, though hopefully having said that twisting weakens the cpc no-one just tapes them together!! Only kidding, Telectrix!

 

[telectrix]

course i wasn't. JB and flex every time i can't find the tape
