Going to use some flex cord grips

I've got a 20a 4 way junction box and some 2 core flex so now I just need to wire it up I'm not too bothered about complexity I just want to make sure it's right and safe

Going to use a 20a 4 terminal junction box what size wire do you suggest I use?

The junction box will remain accessible and doesn't need to be too small

I will most likely be using BC lamp holders http://www.screwfix.com/p/british-general-cordgrip-lamp-holder-bc-white/48002 Running three wires (one from each holder) to a piece of wood where I then want to run it to the ceiling rose via a single cable.

Thanks for all the replies what I need to do is take three cables down to one to run up to the ceiling rose if that makes thing any clearer

Hi I'm making a light fitting that requires 3 bulbs wiring together to then run to a ceiling rose from a single wire. Any help on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated thanks.

To make this work is it as simple as wiring a bulb a battery and a switch together or am I missing something?

do you think this would be worth giving a go?

Just found this http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/verbatim-1w-80-lumen-led-g4-capsule-a00nj# if I ran it with a 5ah 12v battery that would give a decent life span?

My initial idea was to use a 1.5v bulb and use a refective case as these bulbs are only 0.3w and have 200ma draw but not sure how bright it would be. I would use maybe 3 D battery's to give a decent life span.

I was hoping to use maybe 3 or 4 D battery's

I'm guessing they will be but website doesn't say

Found some 1.5w bulbs would that be any better?

How many hours of light would I be able to get from one of these?
