what is a click box

It's a plug in ceiling rose, most are made by Klik so they are generally referred to as this.

Hi Pennywise and M25 Maintenance,

Is that the Ashley Klik system with a plug connector with angled pins? I have seen it and it seems a good idea, useful for time saving later on etc, though havent used it.

Is it any good and what do would you say the best or worse bits with it are?

Thanks,

Rex

Kliks are made by Hager are they not?

Also known as Gregs.

Or more correctly as Luminaire Support Couplers (LSC).

Klik got bought out by Hager like Ashely did. Greg rose is another term as you say, take your pick . They are great if your just looping in and out with the neutral and switchline, they can be a nightmare if you try 3 plating them but thats usually just the first one if it hasn't been fed straight from the switch bank.

 

[Risteard]

They're handy alright.

The down side of them is the *****ing cost, especially the prewired. I cant see that they should be any more than a double socket in construction but are over twice the cost......... thieving *****

Hi Stretchyboy,

Yes I agree when you compare the prices of stuff it does raise the question of 'why the rip off?' I suppose it is down to the usual supply and demand thing. The more competition the lower the price (or should be at least) or the greater the build numbers.

Hopefully the prices will be reasonable (in the customers eyes).

Best wishes

Rex

4 pin click/greg/whatever, with the two lives in a choccy block/wago.
Anything else is a bit of a waste of time (unless you cant get to the greg of course).
Either that, or stick both live's in the same terminal in the PIR.
