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.
He might. However, he did say that he wanted a single cable to run from the fitting to the rose - although that might have been because he was not aware of the existence of multi-outlet roses.Sounds like you need a multi-outlet ceiling rose, such as ...
That was, indeed, the implication of the OP. However, with a multi-outlet rose (if that were aesthetically acceptable, and suitable for the fitting he's making) then he would not need to do that.Or - he's not sure how to connect three lights to one cable.
Thanks. That's what I thought. 'All' you need to do is to connect the four cables (three to lamp holders and one to rose) together using some sort of (suitably enclosed) connector block or junction box (all browns joined, all blues joined etc.).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
Fair enough. If you're going to use plastic ones, that makes life a little simpler.I will most likely be using BC lamp holders ...
OK - you'll need some sort of junction box, or equivalent, then. Is this place where the three cables turn into one going to remain reasonably 'accessible' once the fitting is completed and installed? Is there going to be limited space available for a junction box?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.
Fair enough. There are lots of possibilities. Maybe something like this (click here for details) :The junction box will remain accessible and doesn't need to be too small
