Adding a radial lights

[Delboy]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to add 2 new pendant lights to my hallway. I originally had one pendant and have added two more in a radial configuration rather than a daisy chain. I cut the cable to the original light and added a 4 way junction box (see diagram). I have connected all the live/neutral and earths together. All the lights work but are flickering. Any advice on what I have done wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Derrick

Thanks Andy. Have I wired it up correctly?

Does your existing lighting circuit have additional protection by an rcd upto 30mA?

Hi Ian,

The upstairs light circuit is on on a 6Amp breaker and then a 30mA breaker.

Without being on site and I can’t say if you have wired it right or not. Are you using LED lamps and a dimmer switch?
