Wiring 6 pendant ceiling light

[pete01]

Oh is that what we are on about...you could have just used a connector block, but that'll do.

 

[pete01]

Am I missing something blatantly obvious?

Doesn't like like it has it tripped?

Don't forget the earth.

Re check the connections,the 2 blue neutrals in the connector block don't look too good.

Nope no trip just no lights at all, earth's all seated together.

 

[pete01]

As terry says it doesnt look in.

 

[lg_diy]

We have light!! Must have been that blue, cheers both appreciate all the help

 

[pete01]

Did you earth the black metal plate?

 

[lg_diy]

Yep it's earthed from the ceiling fixing, screws together with a bolt so it's earthed

6 ways to the pendant , rather than 1 connection - so needs 7 way , and for the neutral in/out and 6 way = 8
hence 10way suggestion, which i was going to suggest form TLC , but not sure if they would fit in the void in the pendant or have to be used , pushedinto the ceiling void and so needs a box

Could the OP not just daisy chain from the first fitting?

Did you look at the picture? We‘re talking about one light with six leads exiting a single canopy. I‘d have expected the manufacturer to crimp these six neutrals and lives together with a short fly lead each to be honest.

That’s almost what they did, look at the photo in post #3. Three wires per crimp. (I’m not sure what’s under the black tape in that photo.) But he seems to have chopped those crimps off.
