UK 35mm Downlight

kendo57 · Jun 20, 2020

Anyone know of a junction box that will go through a 35mm hole. I have to install e.ergency downlights. Cannot gain access above ceiling. Cheers

The Wago lighting junction boxes are quite small, but off-hand no idea if they are less than 35mm across the diagonals.

Quickwire are only for t&e, so if switched maintained with 3c&e won't be any use.

Why do you need a joint box ?

We've used what I think are the same emergency lights and only the quick wires fit in the hole (just).

Cheers, used the quickwire like you said only just fits, but did the job.

They look pretty decent..... no good if you need hr flex for the light fitting, if required. Most led fittings have facility for terminating T+E, though, these days. About £3.50 apiece, not bad.
