New Gadgets or tried and trusted methods

These just don't look up to the job, are they any good Guys.? I would just feel inclined to use the good ole JB. Space looks limited, guess it just fear of the unknown.

I hope they are Dave, as I have used loads over last few years! A lot of the newer sparks definately use them. I find them quicker than trad JBs to install.

If I was still contracting then I would be able to see for myself, alas don't think will. New products come on market some look really good must say.

Horrible things with limited space. The Line eggs are much better

I personally don't like the wagobox. It's clunky and awkward to use. They are ok as a fixed accessible connection box however. The smaller wagobox lite is better as it has a cable entry each end but is obviously smaller.

trusted method? neutrals in the switch box, joined by a wago. less monkeying on a ladder to connect it all up and no problems with modern lights.

Or could use Hager switches.

Granted they can be a bit fiddly and the cord grips are naff. I always leave the CPCs longer than the live conductors and then connect them up last (at the top of the box) and I find that makes them more workable. Never used the Line gear, was going to order some a while back and never did due to the stock issue posted on here.

Are Line delivering properly again now?

Yes these are great.

click flow plugs, screw terminals again, but also less room for cable, and no cable grip

As others have mentioned and one I posted about, the Click Flow CT102C has a cable grip; Click 20A 4Pin Pull Apart Flow Connector CT202C - Interior Lighting from Luma Lighting UK
Useful for when Mrs Miggins wants to replace her ceiling rose, with a new light fitting, in the living room.
