What is the best way to wire 4 recessed spots in a ceiling void.
Is it (a) use the existing ceiling rose and daisy chain all 4 lights off this
or
(b) Use a 4 terminal j box with main circuit cable going to a live and neutral
termination, the cable to first lamp going from neutral and a switch live
terminal and the switch wire from live and switch live terminal ( basically
replicating ceiling rose ) and daisy chain next spots.
Any advice much appreciated

Depends on whether you don't mind the old ceiling rose being visible or not,
I know what I would want if I was fitting recessed light, and that would not
be an awful looking ceiling rose in the middle of the ceiling !

I did:

(c) Junction box in the loft with five spurs off to the lights. Works
good.
