Quickwire Prewired Junction Box

[JK-Electrical]

I was kindly given a sample box containing twenty of these Quickwire pre-wired junction boxes by the manufacturer for me to install and assess on-site. I have to say that I was most impressed by the ease and quickness of installation. I'll certainly be using them again. Has anyone else tried this new product?

Might help if we could visualise one.

I've just sent you a PM.

What's the pricing like? I'm definitely interested in giving them ago, particularly for the fact they'll fit through a smaller hole than Wago boxes... good for those times people have replaced ceiling roses with a chocblock mess and not left a lot of cable available for fixing.

Saw them in PE. I was wondering if you could use the 'Splitter' to connect to down lights. Could you install flexible cables into the 'power inlets' or are they just for solid cables?

Saw these at the Harrogate ELEX they were a bit tight on the freebies so not easy to evaluate it in the field also it hadn't gone through all the testing at the time. They are only good for solid core cables but was told that one for flexible cables was being developed and also a one shot cable stripper

I wasn't given any indication as to what the final price will be when the connectors eventually go on sale. Hopefully, they'll retail at less than a fiver, but my hunch is that they'll cost more.

I can't see them being cheap cheap, so it's a case of balancing the additional cost vs. additional time for alternative methods.

A Wagobox with connectors is a couple of quid, but installation time will be longer. Will definitely be interesting when they do provide pricing information.

I'm doing a job this week and I'm going to try the Scolmore Click flow connectors and see how much time they save. And they are very reasonably priced.

I'd be interested to hear what you think of the ClickFlow connectors. I haven't used them yet so am curious. As you say, they're reasonably priced at under £1.50 each.

Will let you know

Don't see any MF logos on the Quickwire, when compared with the Wagobox. The ClickFlow (CT102C) is my preferred weapon of choice, when replacing a ceiling rose with a client's new luminaire, for example.

Used quite a few of the click flow connectors and find them very good. Been converting a few sites from fluorescent battens to Deltech LED and they worked very well for that

Have just received a sample pack of Quickwire connectors from Joe Garton of Quickwire after reading this thread on Saturday.
Have to say initial impression out of the box is good, excellent sophisticated design and build quality and I can see them being fast and neat to use supplied with a fixing clip and demount tool.
The 'switch and load' will be perfect for retro fit decorative lighting to 3 plate wiring and I can see the 'splitter' being good for say, looped together wall lights where only 1 cable can be entered into fitting (EU crap,grr)
Will defo use them for certain things but pricing would be crucial and so far no 'MF' logo (whatever....) and no test point.
