Well I decided that it was time to give these little goodies a run out and I was pleasantly surprised at just how much easier they are to use. The push fit connectors are an absolute joy to work with.

Here are some photos I took during the wiring of the first two, still many more to go.

These two junction boxes and connector blocks were used to supply a lighting radial, a loop in, loop out, switch wire and a cable going to the pendant in the first and then a loop in, loop out, switch wire, downlighter 1 and downlighter 2. There is no way I would have been able to wire this in the choc boxes that I was using previously. Perhaps some of you guys could but not me. It was so nice not having to spend so much time on getting the dressing in just right in order to get the box lid to shut.

I think it's clear also how the cable tie adds the "requires a tool" to access. The cable tie will only fit once the parts have been correctly twisted together (clicked into position) once this has been done there is no way it's coming undone until the cable tie has been removed.

I was a bit rusty using my old wire strippers. I need to adjust them by the looks of things. Everything being exactly the same length meant that every connection simply slotted into place without a fight and it all looked neat before being locked away and forgotten about.

I'm sure I'll be adding more pictures along the way and adding a few more lines of text should I have any more good or even not so good observations to inform you of. At the moment, it's all good words from me :thumbsup

Another thing I would just like to mention, the customer service is brilliant. I was a little sceptical before ordering but my mind was soon put at ease when a sample junction box and a couple of connectors were sent to me, the day after I placed my order they were on my floor :D
 
I have to agree with the review, I've been using waggo's and line for a few months now.

Just a comment on your photo's, I notice you label your cables at the ends. I prefer to leave 6'' so that I can still id them after they are terminated.
 
You could also use wago boxes - specially designed for the wago connectors!

I've never used a wagobox but what I will say is the line junction box is easy to dress into due to the fact that there are no corners for the connector blocks (that have corners also) to get stuck or snagged in. The circular enclosure means that the cables and connector blocks find their own resting place without stress from the enclosure.

Also I forgot to mention, earth sleeving! I hate terminating cpc's with earth sleeving! I check every termination I make to ensure that it is secure and often I have been able to pull a CPC out. I think this may be because when you're pushing the sleeved cpc into position the sheath moves up the cpc giving the impression that good contact is being made. With the push fit connectors you can actually see that the cable has reached it's resting place in full. :thumbsup

On the initial labelling I mark the ends of the cable but just before terminating I usually add labelling further up too for future identification purposes:thumbsup
 
good review, i got sample pack before, when i didnt have a clue, but now i have a clue i think il get some more, cause when i do lights i hate screw terminals especialy when you have lots of lights to do.

didnt think much of the push fit ones, but suppose do a s good a job as the clamps...

the boxes i got were different , but i think were ok for pushing through cut-out.. what diameter is the junction box you have there?? good work
 
what diameter is the junction box you have there?? good work

I haven't measured yet but my next set of photos is going to show my last enclosure be pushed through the downlighter hole because ther was no access above (well, very little anyway ;)) so I chose to fish all the cables through from each hole with my rods.:thumbsup
