Quikwire splitter

[Adamek174]

Hi,
Can i use quickwire splitter to connect multiple switches instead of ceiling roses? 1 wire from fuse box, split it into 3 new ones and connect each of them in different rooms to light switches. Will this break any regulations?

can't see a problem with that. you can also use the switch type quickwire connectors in each room to couple the switches to the lights if you prefer to looping.

They're just a different kind of maintenance free junction box.
No problem at all. Recommend using the fixing clips though.
I've used them to feed multiple Quinetic receivers.

Anyone tried the new Quickwire T-connectors yet?
I've got a multiple downlight job coming up and i intend to give them a go.

No, not had the need yet.
Superlec Direct have them for £3.36 each incl.
I notice that Quickwire have pre-wired versions on their website with 15 & 30cm flexes. £5.45 for the 30cm version. Ends pre-ferruled.

Yes, I saw that pre-wired option, but i guess i'd just get the bare ones because you don't always know what units you will be installing and what the terminations will be like.
I've used the other two units and frankly they just save so much time, are easy to pop into the ceiling, and have a quality feel. I am a huge fan of Wagos, but when you add the cost of the Wagobox enclosures to make them MF, I htink the Quickwire units win the prize for downlight installations.
The T-Connectors aren't MF, but I don't see that as a problem given how compact they are for inserting and fishing-out of ceilings.

Oh I must get out more, may have to do some modifications just so I can use them. ?

At least the Wago light box's will take the condenser to stop the LED's from flashing.
