Fitting a ceiling light. Removed the rose to fit the bracket for the heavy light . Separated the wires into different wago connectors ( four of them). Now I've got fit the base of the light to the bracket and put all these connectors inside and somehow fit them inside.

Hi , I am trying to fit another ceiling light, I've separated each set of connections to appropriate three or two wago connectors. No I cannot find space inside the base of the ceiling light to stuff four of these connectors! What am I doing wrong ? How to find space for them ? Kind Regards

Yes. You're right! Oops forgot about a small entry light at the bedroom which has no bulb for now! So..two lights with one switch. Great observation!

Thanks. I'll do that... probably connect each bunch to the connector separately to avoid confusion in addition to taking pics. Any suggestions or info about the supporting brackets query?

Hi, Planning to shorten the cable for a pendant ceiling light. Most advise the shortening to be done only at the rose and not at the bulb end. Is that right ? Any particular reason ? Kind Regards

Its just a strip LED operating with the mains. The dimmer switch is a cheap one bought on ebay. I did watch some youtube videos on how to connect but they all stress on identifying the live cable and since my cable is black I was stumped. Not a big thing just a lighting effect which needed to be...

Agreed. For some reason it doesn't accept bigger pics (after all the resizing,etc) ..says Oops ..ran into problems!

Thanks you. Pics uploaded.Does that help ?
