cable from lighting junction box to light

[woodman-46]

Hello,
we want to replace and move the positioning of a ceiling light in an ensuite by about 3ft. I have been into the loft and the existing cable to the light fitting comes from a small plastic junction box and is the "non flexible"

grey flattish type(attached). I have several metres of new flexible white cable (example attached) that I use for lighting on my tradestand, can I use this instead of the grey cable? Once fitted it will not be touched up in the loft and overall this cable will be about 4-5 ft . The light that we are fitting has 3 x 35w halogen spots.
Any advice welcome .Thanks

Yes.

Strictly speaking, though, you shouldn't have solid core and stranded in the same terminal but you could change the JB.

Ooh, I did not know that. Where is that 'regulation' from?

Wago make an excellent range of connectors, they need to go inside a suitable enclosure.
These are made for where solid and flexible cables meet

Not sure, now you ask - just common sense ???

526.1 & 526.2 would cover it, I suppose.

526.9 would cover flexibles, but I have never understood what each group of conductors is:

Multiwire
Fine wire
Very fine wire


IEC 60228:2004 says:

Class 1 Solid, round.
Class 2 Stranded conductor, 7 strands (larger sizes will be 19 strands).
Class 5 Multi-stranded conductor for flexible 'general purpose' installations.
Class 6 Extra-multi-stranded conductor for improved flexibility / flex-life.

Could multiwire be Class 2, fine wire Class 5 and very fine wire Class 6?

Go to Wilcos and buy 1m of 1m t&e. You'll get change from £1. Why bodge it ?
