ceiling mounted downlight - lots of cables

[garyrayne]

I'm installing a ceiling mounted down light in my ensuite, however i have an abundance of cables to deal with and sure what to do with them...

Basically 2 lights in en-suite both to be recessed down lights.

first light only has 1 cable - live and neutral already in its own junction box. therefore simple to connect down light live and neutral to. job done. (it was already a type of recessed fitting over shower)

The second however was connected into batten type light fitting which I'm replacing. Cables are as follows...

4 no. red which are loops
2 no red which are live
4 no. earth cables
4 no neutrals ( 3black 1 blue)

1 no. cable goes straight to light switch

I gather that i need to group the gables together as per the batten holder, however how do i do this. I did buy a 4 terminal circular junction box however this appears to be unsuitable as it is very difficult to group the cables.

Please could I have some advice?

Thank you

Gary

P.S I have bought proper lights that can be used in zone 1 areas.

Hello,

What size is your downlighter ? you would you be able to use one of these if it can be accessed through the hole created by the downlight ?

Sorry, just to add. this would make your 'screwed connections' 'accessible'. You should check that the choc box is suitable/'rated' over the size of the circuit breaker. And that all cables/ + the choc box are far away from the fitting when it is put into final position.
