New Gadgets or tried and trusted methods

[Silver6003]

Hi there so I'm Doing a Domestic Flat With a lot of Gu 10 led down lighters . bathroom ones being Ip44 and the rest fire rated . I've wired the lighting in conventional 3 plate wiring . So Feeds ,Switchline . Neutrals and pcp all at 1 light. Switch Line neutral and pcp looped in each room. Also both bedrooms I've run a feed cable to both wardrobes to operate wardrobe lights . So in some cases I've 1 ,2,3,4 and some cases 5 cables at lights . Of course 3 core to feed fan isolator for over run fans in 2 bathrooms . That's My scenario
So I'm a luddite in some ways .... If it works why break it Vibe . I've seen lots of new found products to connect them up Clix and wago with junction boxes etc . However My first thought was the tried and tested method of using 4-way junction boxes With 1.5mm2 heat resistant flex feeding each downlight .
I'm working on an hourly rate on this installation ( it was too complicated to put in a price already there's been alterations etc ) So time is not a factor
So Appreciate your comments. Even better, ideas if you have any
Thanks guys

trusted method? neutrals in the switch box, joined by a wago. less monkeying on a ladder to connect it all up and no problems with modern lights.

Or could use Hager switches.

Horrible things with limited space. The Line eggs are much better

Granted they can be a bit fiddly and the cord grips are naff. I always leave the CPCs longer than the live conductors and then connect them up last (at the top of the box) and I find that makes them more workable. Never used the Line gear, was going to order some a while back and never did due to the stock issue posted on here.

Are Line delivering properly again now?

These just don't look up to the job, are they any good Guys.? I would just feel inclined to use the good ole JB. Space looks limited, guess it just fear of the unknown.

Yes these are great.

click flow plugs, screw terminals again, but also less room for cable, and no cable grip

As others have mentioned and one I posted about, the Click Flow CT102C has a cable grip; Click 20A 4Pin Pull Apart Flow Connector CT202C - Interior Lighting from Luma Lighting UK
Useful for when Mrs Miggins wants to replace her ceiling rose, with a new light fitting, in the living room.

The Wago box gets a vote from me. Granted gets a bit messy with more than four cables. But likewise, I haven't used a round JB in a while.

A wago convert here. The Line "black egg" connectors are brilliant. Big time saver.

I love the push fit connectors, I like the hellerman tyton ones, but they are not easily available locally, then ideal splice line are very neat for through connections, the lever action ones are easy to use (and do not flick back on your fingers!) and the wago lighting (push fit and clamp action) are also handy.
Never used a wago box, but love the line JBs, the Line products website is now back up and running, I assume they just forgot to renew the website access.
Will be ordering more today to check all is OK.

Will you pop up a note in the line thread as an update ? I feel like ordering a boatload while the going is good.

The new wago's look good and I prefer to use the wago lever types but for ordinary push connectors I much prefer to use Hellerman tyton.
