Have you all stopped using connector strips for wago type connectors

[RobTi]

Hi just the above really, just wanted to know if strips are now obsolete and the sparks are all using wago type, lever or push ?
Thanks

Almost, just an odd time when space is tight I will use a choc block

I assume you mean space to fit the Wago as opposed to space to do the connecting?

Yes some light fittings are a bit tight when you might have four or more wires to connect

Also sometimes porcelain connectors may be required.

Just looking at a video after reading this post comparing wago and chock block, no mention of how large they will be when trying to fit them in a back box.

I’m old fashioned. I still use connector blocks. I do have some wagos, and they have their uses, but they are more expensive and much more bulky once you need to connect more than a couple of wires together, and you have to carry 2,4,6 and 8 hole wagos when a stirp connector will do them all.

Use a lot on lighting as yet not on socket circuits, i think i heard Wago have brought out a new range with higher current ratings.
First time i ever used them 1 light had no power, despite cable in properly, cut it off and replaced then all ok.

We had a run of clear 15 amp connecters that were so thin they split when tightened, put me off using them after that and only used the White case ones
