Downlight installation

[mickwall]

Guys DIY alert here.

So I about to install 3 sets (different circuits) of 3 downlights (9 lights in total) in my living room, the ceiling is down at the moment and I want to run in the wiring. I have already decided to use the click flow (ones with cable clamps) connectors to connect from the fixed wring to heat resistant cable but cant work out the best way to use them.

The click flow connectors allow for 3 fix wires to be terminated, so I would guess that would be a switched supply in and loop out (two cables) however I would like the switch connection to also be serviceable following the ceiling being replaced so should I use another connection box (would need to be small so I can get it throught the light fitting hole) to take a supply in/out and a switch wire for the first set and then repeat for the others? Its almost what I want to do is run 4 cables into the click flow (supply in/ out , switch wire and cable to next light for this circuit) but obviously thats not possible!


Any advice appreciated.


Thanks

i would use a JB ( line connectors with wagos ) at the first downlight, then daisy chain S/L and N to the rest. then there would never be more than 2 T/E's at each click connector

edit: i personally would use line enclosures with wago cage connectors for all downlighters, much cheaper.

Best advice is get a sparky in mate as there will be more to this job than meets the eye EG safe isolation, cable selection methods, reference methods (How the cable is ran from one place to another), inspection testing and certification on completion
How are you planning on switching these lights?
