Cheers. Good to know it can work with what I've got anyway so I need one of those and some 2 core cable too and I'll be good. Thanks for all your help.

The 773 are no good for flex ( stranded conductors) so the flexes conductors would go into the 222 wagos

 

[Tony Bond]

Is flex where the core is made up of strands? I guess I'd need to have a look if that's the case. Are the wires likely to be a mix of flex and non flex?
Also if I'm ordering a 2 core cable to go from the connectors to the light fitting does it matter what mm2 wiring I go with? Is there a minimum size I'll need to this application?

 

[terryplumb]

Yes flex is stranded ,and easier to work with than twin and earth cable . 0.75 mm² is what I would use. Your pictures of fixed wiring all appear to be twin and earth and 3 core and earth, and not stranded.

Cheers. I was thinking maybe it would be an idea to return the set of connectors I've got, I only bought them from Screwfix today, and get a set of 221 connectors instead which seem much smaller and get this junction box https://www.screwfix.com/p/wago-mul...VJLcrcbU-J22xS-bHKp488Amc2AsW3choCC5MQAvD_BwE

What do you think? The mix of 222 and 773 are cheaper so they have that going for them but I guess it might be easier with the 221 connectors.

 

[terryplumb]

I prefer 221 series to be frank. But I think sfix only sell large quantities ,don't you have to buy 50 of them ?

Even worse than that if you want a mixed pack; it's 85 pieces. I can order a box of 25 from Amazon on Prime delivery and then get the junction box at Screwfix. I think that sounds like a plan then. I can return the set I got while collecting the junction box. https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07RBWTCP9/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_KSNQ7BED6RMVGV6ZGEPQ

I've had a look and the set from Amazon makes more sense for me to get I think. Appreciate the suggestion though.

Would I be able to fit 4 5 way ones in one junction box?

 

[Tony Bond]

Just realised I definitely can do because it has that shelf and three slots at the end so that looks like a good option. I can get the junction box from Toolstation too.

Think so .
