Hi, Please have a look at the two photos attached. I have 4 live, 2 neutral and 3 earth looking to go into this rather small/simple light fitting. Where do I start? Son’s birthday tomorrow and was hoping to have this light fitting up in time for then… All advice (step by step?) gratefully received. Power in whole house is presently off. Thanks.
The 3 browns join together in a piece of 15A connector strip or a wago. The blue with brown sleeving goes to live of fitting The 2 blues go to neutral of fitting. The earths go to earth or made safe.
You need an additional enclosure there is no possibility you can connect all of those conductors in a compliant manner to that enclosure. I suspect your new fitting is double insulated hence all those conductors must be correctly contained.
There will be a cup that fits over the bracket, large enough for the connections without the need for a junction box.
It shows the connector how do you expext to contain the conductors within it. I guarantee that is a Class II fitting so all conductors must be enclosed and not floating about within the fitting.
Looking at that connector it has a mounting ring attached to secure it to some part of the fitting. However is is also very cheap plastic tat that leaves far too much exposed terminal and in my opinion is only fit for the scrap man.
I couldn't agree more cheap tat. I don't do domestic work but these fittings are poorly designed and assume a single wire for connection and the installer rarely understands the importance of correct connection.
