not a problem infact they are supplied with conector and when done up the conectors are in an enclosure
A lot of jobs i have been to work on have a 4x4 junction box near the CU under the floor.Main feed in,feeds to each light and all switch lines back to junction box.There you go,one drop at each lightUnfortunately the companies that make these lights dont think of how they are installed, they assume that the flex can be taken above the ceiling, wired into a nice junction box and thats that, either that or they have some stupid tiny connector that only takes one cable rather than the normal 3. So how about some constructive suggestions.
What do you recon to the insulation tape tho. I guess its for a reason of some form?
So how is supposed to be done?
They look pretty good.Usually use 17th edition J/B's,but only on downlighters.It's all about profit at the end of the day thouI like these personally Click Flow 16 Amp Push-in Connector The Hager downlighter Junction Boxes are decent also.
The JB's are obviously the best way of doing it, but you have a joist just above which will impede you getting a JB in, you could enlarge the hole to push the JB in but then this has 2 effects, 1 you have then got into making good and also if you have to take that much away you possible do not have enough for the ceiling mounting plate to be screwed against. With regard to the crimp suggestion, I agree that would be fine if you have 1 twin and earth cable coming in, but if it is 3-plated, not such a good idea. I think the tape was always installed as a means of protection should there be a spark from loose connection etc
