I'm not sure what you mean by that. Whether or not any junction box is accessible obviously depends on where you install it, regardless of which product you use. Do you perhaps mean that you're going to install in an accessible location?

Kind Regards, John.

i,m going to position above a downlighter so that it can be pulled down for testing/access/faults etc i.e not the so called "maintenance free" ones

Thanks for clarifying. In that case, as you probably realise, you need to use the Ashley J501 suggested by holmslaw (or something similar) which has cable clamps in it. Because they have no cable clamps, any 'standard junction' box has to be screwed to something (and the cables clipped to something), which obviously would prevent it being 'pulled down'.

Kind Regards, John.

hi, yes to clarify i will purchase the J501 boxes so the cable is secured within the box with cable long enough to allow the box to be pulled out of ceiling if required. Will use this for the roof space that is accessible
