Just wondered if anyone has any experience installing a spider lamp in a domestic premises?
First time I have came across one of these fittings, it has a single rose with nine separate 0.5mm flexes, max 40w lamp. Just wondered what the correct way is to connect all the cables together. I wasn't comfortable connecting all nine lives and nine neutrals together in a single connector block( due to heat off 360w ), so I connected all nine flexes separately in nine connector blocks and looped the incoming neutral and lives. I have been asked to install more in the property, but it is difficult to fit 18 connector blocks in the rose. Ps a junction box cannot be installed as concrete ceiling.
