I have just a quick question (i hope) about replacing some lighting.
I currently have a ceiling rose (loop lighting system) that i am going to relpace with a light without a rose. I have access from above so i am installing a junction box in the ceiling and then just wiring up the new light to the junction box.
My question is, what are the regulations regarding mounting of the junction box? everything i have found so far shows the junction box mounted to a stud placed between the ceiling beams. Is it ok to mount the junction box on the side of a ceiling beam? also, does the junction box require mounting at all or can it just rest in the gap in the ceiling?
Alternatively i could just use a choc block instead...what do you recommend? - i'd prefer doing it properly and installing a junction box i think, but i'm not really sure.
