Lighting and wagos

[keniff]

Hey everyone, was just wondering what everyone is using for enclosures on the wagos, I was trying to fit 5 cables in a wago box, it was in a lighting circuit, could not get the buggers in one of those at all, I found it a right pain and went back to standard jb be interesting to know what people use as enclosures for these wagos

On the entry to the box there are black 'stress clips' these can be moved into various slots to suit different sized cables and multiple cables, or you can just remove them altogether - but that may not be recommended as they are there to do a job! Works for me!

Yeah it's more the loop in and switch etc that's a pain impossible to gauge the lengths to get them to slot in especially with 3 core to fan etc

I try to keep all the wires the same length and then push them into the connectors, then ease the connectors into the end slots and then one by one ensure the cables are squeezed into the entry points, trying to ensure the same number of cables either side of the middle post.

On the latest ones if the middle post is not square the lid doesn't snap in.
