Fitting Downlighters

[Marmitesoldier]

On a slghtly different note JohnD, i'm having a bathroom re-done and am fitting 6 downlighters which are the waterproof type for shower/bathroom areas.

They each come with their own transformer and leads which the blurb recommends is connected to the 1mm lighting cable with connector block.

As this is tucked away in the ceiling, is this okay. Have pulled all the loft insulation clear and the loft is not boarded so heat can disperse.

Your advice would be much appreciated

Not something I know about, but I'm sure someone will be along in a minute ot two.

If i'm reading your post right, you will need to connect the first transformer to the switched feed that used to serve your old light and then loop from this to the other 5 tranys. You can used a connector block but you need to enclose it in a Chocbox. I prefer junction boxes myself.

If the lights are close enough together, you can feed multiple tranys from 1 junction box

As this is a bathroom, I must add that the works are notifiable. Search Part P if this means nothing to you
