LED Ceiling Lights

[leflorian]

Hello all,

I'm very new but quite logical.

Just bought a top floor apartment 1985, built. I'm planning on installing LED dimmable lights throughout. I've researched the LEDs i'd like to install but my question is around the wiring.

Current setup:

1 center light.
4 wall mounted lights.
1 bank of 4 switches.

I was planning to remove the wall mounted lights terminate the ends and push them back in the wall, plaster over.
Install a 6 way splitter box from ScrewFix to split the cable leading to the centre light into 6 spots light cables.
Install a single dimmer switch in place of the bank of four switched.

6 x 6W Fire Rated Downlight (GU10) - LED Lights UK
20A 6-Terminal Heavy Duty Junction Box - ScrewFix

The other consideration I have is that their is insulation in the loft. The LEDs and fire rated.

Will the above work in general?
What cable do I need from the junction box?
How do you protect the LED unit from insulation?
Is the amperage ok for the LEDs?
Can I just terminate the wall light cables and push them back in the wall?

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy

This needs moving to the DIY section.

you really need an electrician to do this. cable sizes will then be calculated and the correct cabling installed, along with correctly made terminations etc., etc. as for the wall lights, all i'll say is that no way do you bury live cables in a wall when they don't relate to any accessory. you must disconnect the supply to them.
