Default 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

If using flex, an adaptable box with knockouts and cable glands would look
neater.

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 (
