Will be supplying 8 down lights in a 5x3 metre room.

I want to connect 2 way switches for lighting. Can l use 1.0mm 3 core & earth or does it have to be 1.5mm? Thanks

As plasterers, do you generally mind if spotlight holes have been cut into a new ceiling and lights left dangling before you plaster it? Or even just the holes cut if wires are left tucked up inside ready for lights?

Yes will get rid of the other wall light and will eventually install spot lights.

It looks like it goes down or possibly across to the other light which is operated by a switch even further along. I think it is on a socket circuit. I popped a plug in the kitchen once and it shorted everything in the conservatory. It's ground floor in a conservatory which backs onto the...

Any particular terminal block?

There's another light the same further along the wall. The ceiling has no lights in it currently. It will only have the new ones l want to put in.

So a normal back box, wires to a terminal block left inside, and a blanking cover?

It looks as though the existing wire does not come from above.

Is it completely wrong to join to a connector block and loose it in the wall?

Yes, l want to do away with the light as in the picture and extend the wire up the wall and connect to a run of 4 spotlights. Is quite a high ceiling and the current light fitting is about 800mm below the ceiling.

This is an existing light fixture which l want to get rid of and run 4 spot lights off it into the ceiling. My question is, what is the safest way to extend the cable so l can run it? I want to put it into the wall to hide it.

I want to install 4 spotlights (IP65 rated) in my bathroom. They have the piano key connectors. Is 1mm cable sufficient or should l use 1.5mm? I've read 1.5mm can be a bit tight in these terminals.

Yes, plenty of space. Thanks

I am fitting PIR insulation between ceiling joists. My question is should the face be flush with the joists so the plasterboard is touching it or do l need to leave a gap between the pir and plasterboard?

How about ultra slim? I do have a void.

I want to put spotlights into a new ceiling that will be insulated with celotex type foil backed insulation. What is the best way to allow a safe space around the lights without compromising the insulation? Thank you

Yes you did thank you. It was the angle l was interested in and whether the clips would be sufficient thie way.

Would this work but the joist going upwards instead?

Thanks. Is the 2x2 instead of the ledger plate or fixed to it to bring it out?
