Hi,
Sorry to be a pain but could i have some proffessional advice.
I am replacing my existing ceiling light with 2 downlights and in the process intended on just converting my ceiling rose to a junction box and hanging the lights of the JB. I then intended on attatching the JB to the floor beams in the ceiling void accessible from screwed floorboards above.
However I am now informed that JBs have to be accessible - what would you as professionals do in this situation? Would you just use crimps or is there any other solution i can consider.
Hopefully my diagram below will explain the situation i am faced with clearer.
I have taken a look at the existing wiring and sadly there is not enough slack in the cable to reach the first downlighter directly, even if i unclipped the cable and routed it directly, the existing cable would not reach. The only way i can see that i can make the existing cable reach is by using crimps/JBs.
I have looked at running complete new cable - but this would be a massive headache as i would have to lift the flooring in half the house - as a last resort i would consider this
Are there any techniques/tips of the trade i can use to avoid this?
Any advice is welcomed.
Thanks
