Hi all,

I have 15 downlights in the kitchen but need to remove one due to getting rid of an aga and needing to install a new cooker and extractor hood - the hood is going where one of the downlights is located.

I've replaced plenty of these over the years, but wanted to check the best way of co9mpletely removing it.

Is it simply a case of disconnecting the light, and using a terminal block to isolate the wiring for that one light?

Many thanks
 
Actually just found a 5amp junction box in the garage. Disconnected the light and transformer and connected the wires back up in the junction box. Tested everything and it’s working fine. Good to go??
 
Zerax was joking, but that is not the correct type of junction box to use. Read the Guide to Junction boxes PDF here.
 
those round brown screw terminal JBs have been giving good service for almost 100 years. just some jumped up suit at IET not long out of nappies thinks they're not fit for purpose. bet same jumped up suit called his dad an old fart for using a hand saw, and would have a mental breakdown if he saw an electrician's knife on site.

Too true Tel. I wonder how many are lurking around the U.K. under floorboards and in lofts?
