New light fitting - Wiring question

[budest]

Hey guys,

I want to install a new LED light fitting and require a little guidance with this wiring. This is the wiring into the current light that I will be changing.

Using Wagos, I have access to the 4, 3 and 2 way connectors.

Just use what you need to connect it as it is now.

The 4 browns on the left will go into a 4 way wago and not into the fitting, unless the new fitting also has a loop connection?

No it just has a terminal block for live and neutral and limited space for much else. I may have to cut into the ceiling plasterboard a little for wagos.

So correct me if I'm wrong (most likely):

4 browns on left into a 4 way wago
4 earths into a 4 way wago
2 blues + grey (on the right) + blue from new fitting into a 4 way wago
Brown + black (middle) + brown from new fitting into a 3 way wago

Sounds about right, the wagos need to be enclosed in a box not just floating about above the ceiling.

Make sure you dont mix any wires up mark them with tape or pen or however.
(Looks like it's only the one brown you could mix up so be careful)

The new light looks very tight is that the inside of it?

Yeah. Amazon!

Fitted two before in my old home with just a little struggle. Good for the money.

Would a wago box be required if the connectors managed to be located at the back of the light fitting and not into the ceiling? Be some hole to make for a wago box.

Something like this maybe?

QuickFix JB4 16A Junction Box for Wago Connectors | Quickfix (JB4)

This might be better and use the wagos you already have?

Wago Junction Box for 221 Series Lever Connectors | Wago_Connectors (207-3301)

No you wouldnt need a box if the wago were inside the fitting, but it looks tight

I agree. I'll give a go tomorrow and see how I get on. Thanks for all the help and advice. Much appreciated.
