    30a connector block, how can I tell

    thanks I also had that webpage open and i ordered a few more bits for free delivery, sadly the wago box wouldnt fit in the space so i was hoping a conventional (circular) junction box would work

    30a connector block, how can I tell

    Just before I do anything else. Thought I'd ask to see if the drywall box is in its best place? The Skirting board will be removable now to access if any problems. Would a junction box be better behind the skirting to connect the wires up? What would be the best plan of action to deal with...

    adding two downlighters and pendant light to one light already in the room.

    ok thanks, ive done it a bit arse about face as at the weekend ive already measured and cut the cables i used 2.5mm T&E cable from each new light into one place where i was going to place the junction box, just thought i could connect all the lives together and neutrals etc in the junction box...
