Afternoon all,
I live in a two bed new-build house which I moved into about a year and a half ago (my partner and I's first steps on the property ladder!)
The lighting all around is standard ceiling roses.
I have an LED luminaire I would like to fit in the main bathroom but the rose is very crowded and I cannot (comfortably) fit the common neutrals or the earths into the terminals on the luminaire, which are quite compact terminal blocks.
My initial thoughts were to take the neutrals, earths and common live into a terminal block, then a single wire from the neutral and earth terminal blocks (and of course the switched live) to the smaller terminal block on the light fitting. Unfortunately, there's hardly any space inside the light fitting to do this.
I was wondering if it was acceptable to move most of this to a junction box of some description in the loft and then run just the earth, neutral and switched live down to through to the new luminaire, which would be ideal space-wise.
Assuming the junction box idea is feasible, can anybody link me to a suitable piece of equipment which will allow me to do this in the neatest manner?
Many thanks in advance for the advice.
