Hi, I have bought a new external LED security light for to replace an existing tungsten light.
The old enclosure for the bulb was connected by a T&E (1.5mm) but the new LED has a flex. There is currently a regular, old-school junction box (on the other side of the wall in the garage) with 4 cables ( power in, switch, motion detector and power to the light). Inside the junction box all 4 terminals are in used (L, switched-L, N, E).
I understand that I can't use this junction box with the new light as you can't mix flex and solid on the same terminal. So I need a new one, such as the Wagobox light junction box and some of their 224 lighting connectors.
So here is my question:
According to the photo the lighting box looks only big enough for 3 connectors, but I will need 4. Will 4 fit or will I need a different box?
Thanks
Kevin
