Junction Box for Concealed Lighting
Hi all
Looking at kitchen wiring details and feeding concealed lights under wall units. I will need 3 lighting feeds + loopin + loopout + switch wire. Are there any neat, multi cable JBs around that will do a better job of this than the usual round 5 amp type? Also, is it usual to do the run from the JB (in the loft) to each lighting point in flex rather than flat T&E - it would seem more appropriate. Thanks Phil |

Hager-Ashley do some nice ones with 4 times 4 way terminals, 4 cable entries, cable clamps. Also, is it usual to do the run from the JB (in the loft) to each lighting point in flex rather than flat T&E - it would seem more appropriate. Thanks Phil -- Tim Watts Hung parliament?

If using flex, an adaptable box with knockouts and cable glands would look neater. -- *It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser. Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Thanks Phil You may find that your wall cupboards have a gap behind the back panel that you can stuff your junction box up. Mine (from Howdens) have a gap of about an inch, just enough to fit a chocbox ( http://www.screwfix.com/prods/46538/...Blocks/Chocbox ) |
