I am confused by the options. Does that version have the control gear? Is High Frequency control gear the normal, or is it extra. If it is extra, what is the difference between normal and High Frequency? When is best to use HF?

I'm thinking about fitting 4 of these ( http://www.alertelectrical.com/Light-Fittings-Commercial/Commercial-Lighting/Dakal-2x26w-IP44-PL-Downlight-cw-Cover--Lamps-MA226-IP.asp ) into my new kitchen false ceiling. They look ideal because they are low energy and I can pick and choose my lights...

Bit harsh, this is not the first work I've done, past work been tested and approved all okay. I have the regs and the guides to make sure what I'm doing is all okay. My council has to approve the extension, so better I ask the inspector what keeps him happy than here ...

Cable all running in permitted zones. Goes along top of a basement wall, but I turned vault on other side of the wall into a room and want to put socket in. Estimated length of the circuit as 48m at 20A, so 5m might not pull it over the limit but is really close in case I made a mistake and...

If really needed, can dig through plaster to access the box. Not trying to be smart or nothing, but regs allow crimps and solder for inaccessible joints if done proper and tested. Cable runs along top of wall and putting a socket in on other side of wall and no close accessory I can take off from.

What would you do?

Decided I am going to solder it - soldered a lot of electronics over the years, but not 4mm T&E ... will do a couple of practice runs first.

Thought about that but stuck because running to an accessory still means breaking and extending with crimps and adds 5m to circuit length (radial) which can push over volt drop on last socket.

So have to solder then?

Is buried under plaster and will be inaccessible ... this is best of the options, nothing wrong with crimps if done properly as far as I know

Might be an obvious one but I want to confirm the right way ... how to crimp a spur off a 4mm T&E? With 3x4mm cables, yellow insulated for the earths, and 10mm uninsulated for L+N? Is it best to feed all three in one end, or two in one end, and third in the other?
