lutron grafik eye

Suggestions please.....I'm fitting a Lutron controller which has 6 live connections, one for each circuit. However there's only one connection for earth and neutral so I was wondering what the neatest safest way of connecting 6 earths and 6 neutrals presumably within the wall box. Something like you use in a consumer unit would seem to make sense to me.

thanks.....Jim

Jim, you've got me confused

If you have 6 cables at your controller, 1 for each lighting circuit they must be switched lives. You also have 6 neutrals to the lights which you want to join.

You must (I hope) have a separate live and neutral feed at the controller making the total 7?

Yes......also has the feed coming in......if you look at the installation guide:

It has a wiring diagram on page 16.....which is pretty straightforward....it''s more the way you achieve the connections that I'm interested to know.

Choc-blocks inside the back box, I guess?

jcsteve · 25 Mar 2006

I had considered that......so to make the connections with those is acceptable in terms of the regulations and there's not a risk that because they are 'loose' in the back box they could come into contact with something they shouldn't?

It comes with an american wall box which is enormous........

isn't it for american wiring? rated 110v?

jcsteve · 25 Mar 2006

No - it's the european model.....230v.

Bought from www.rbstaronline.co.uk.....excellent value.
