Downlight wiring

[DaveOC]

Hi, I'm changing my 8 kitchen downlighters for Lumineux Avon Pro should be easy but I have 6 cables going into a joining block and the light comes off of this (as in photo 1). The Avon Pro has a plug which has wago style connectors (as in photo 2 and 3) which will only fit 1 maybe 2 wires in each connector. I think I'll have to have 1 or 2 cables from the connecting block into the Avon plug. Could someone tell me if this is possible and if so how to do this and which wire goes where.
Many Thanks for your help

Photo 1 is a good example of how not to leave connections

Thanks for the reply, I'm still not to sure what to do, do I run one new cable into the Avon plug? will 1.5 cable be OK? and Murdochat how should it be left?

Helpfull as always... not He's after advice not nit picking.


You're going to have to replicate all of that into a junctionbox and use a 3 core cable (flex or twin and earth) to the light. Hopefully the other 5 lights only have 2* T&E at most.

1mm cable will be more than ample.

I think they stopped before they posted it.
