lighting connections

[ichinen]

Hi, I need to make a lot of connections (ceiling standard...) and the hole I need to fit the junction box (choc) into the ceiling won't allow me to fit the lights hiding the hole (and fitting the braket as well). What's the smallest way to make that king of connections? Any suggestion?

Thanks

This must be a teeny light fitting if the hole for a chocbox is too big ... how big is it ? The WAGO boxes are small enough to pop through the hole for a downlighter so are these fittings even smaller ?

Yeah, the diameter is 4cm. It's a tiny spotlight... is there any kind of "in line" connection?

Hager / ashley do a downlight JB that is handy but dont think its that slim.

What about click plugs?

crimp bullet connectors?

Could make one from a piece of YT4 mini-trunking c/w end caps . Use Wago,s for connections. Bit Heath Robinson but still better than connectors taped up.

you could solder the joints then cover with heat shrinkB-)

At that price, order a few , they look as if they will fit.

We use these Click fittings quite a bit - very handy. I've just measured one and they're 40mm x 24 mm at their widest - 105mm total length.

I would just use wagos tape them up and push them up through the hole. Not ideal but gets over the problem.
