    Connecting a double insulated recessed light

    What's the best way to terminate the CPC? Yes they do claim the box needs to have a strap around it to be maintenance free but I assumed it would also need to be fixed. Sounds like I'll just strap a cable tie around it and not fix it then :)

    Connecting a double insulated recessed light

    Thanks again boyo. So it's two core flex what I need to get; I am running the earth wire between the connectors just in case I need to change them, but wasn't sure on the best way to get down to the fixture from there. I did make the junction almost maintenance free (wage box and connectors)...

    new house, new junction box

    Thanks to both of you for the earth tip and especially thank you Boyo for your detailed answer. I assumed that a junction box would be the better option but I take it that the doohickeys are the way to do it properly? The floor board above is cut out but they would have a carpet over very soon...

    new house, new junction box

    Hi! First post here so please be gentle :) We got a new house, refurbished it and now the missus wants hanging pendant lights in the dining area. Luckily the carpet fitting has been delayed due to technical issues so I thought it would be an easy job just replace the current ceiling light with...
