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
