I'm after a 240V in-line connector, which can take a (smallish)
physical load as well as a small electrical one. I'm thinking of
something with a threaded connection between the two halves.
Preferably pretty or at least unobtrusive.

The application is for pendant lighting above table in a kitchen/
diner. The table is normally going to be close to wall, but pulled
out into the room for dinner parties etc (it's a room-width thing).
The 3 lamps are suspended from Klik-Fix roses, and there's a row of
these for each table position. The lamps are to be high up out of the
way for normal use, but lower, just above seated head height in more
formal dining mode, so the neatest way of fixing them will be to swap
the drop-flexes over between a long set and a short set. So a quick
connector is needed at the other end. When the shades are in the
lower position, a six footer will be just about able to look down into
the top of the lamp, and anyway the shades are translucent fibreglass/
kevlar, so the connector is going to show.

I've been through RS, and nothing stood out as suitable.

So, a long shot, but any ideas?


Three drop flexes directly over the dinner party position. Three hooks in
the ceiling directly over against the wall position.

To change simply hook over or unhook as required.
