when using wago's for downlight guys many cables can actualy fit in the wagobox?

also a guy i worked with said you should loop the ciruit , but what stops you from going all directions, if have lots of lights??/?
 
After some trial and much error I've settled on Wago connectors with the IP20 Q12 junction boxes you can get from Toolstation - and sometimes the LINE junction boxes when the cables in and out can't easily be clipped - for downlights, etc.

I've pretty much given up on Wago boxes - they're far to cramped, or maybe I just lack the dexterity.... I'm convinced there's a design tolerance problem with the newer smaller 'Light' Wago boxes as I struggled to get the lid closed every time - even on just a couple of 1.0mm2 cables.

Same. But I make it even simplier without JB's. On new work, neutral looped in switch then loop in and out into i-cage lights - they have room for 2 x 1.5 T&E
