UK Wiring downlights without junction boxes

[ukdave]

I'm installing downlights in a kitchen refurbishment. How can I link the lights, the switch and the mains without using a junction box because, when finished, all this will be in the ceiling void space and inaccessible. There must be some sort of in-line connector that would equate to a ceiling rose, or am I looking at terminal-block connectors in a suitable container?

Use some mf connectors in an enclosure that is small enough to come down through the downlight hole.

The smallest WAGO MF stamped box is small enough to go through most downlight cutouts

You can get little plug/socket designed to be small enough to go through the downlights hole.
the lights are wired in a radial fashion. Not a central jb out to each fitting

Thanks guys. Pretty much that's what I'd expected. I'll check the size of the downlight hole and take it from there.

I use these just leave a fair bit of cable length so that you can get the box out the hole afterwards.
