Hi - two questions:
1. I have a chandelier to wire-in and fix to a ceiling rose on a loop-in system. Having done this in another room using a junction box etc. I would prefer to use a connector block instead of a junction box as it would be easier to hide these behind the chandelier rose. With a junction box I would have to make a large hole in the ceiling and then do some re-plastering which isn't ideal.
Can anyone advise whether this is an acceptable way to do it? I have seen the "For reference" topic showing a similar method.
2. Also, I wondered if anyone had a better way of fitting a chandelier light fitting AND a ceiling rose (large plaster-style one, although actually made out of resin). I did this in another room and it meant having to wire it in underneath and then stick the ceiling rose on, which was a two-person job as someone had to hold the chandelier underneath. It provides a secure fixing as the chandelier attaches direct into the joist but very fiddly.
Thanks,
Jo
