No earth for spot lights

Wago boxes are nasty things just a slight step-up from a Chocbox.

so whats your solution then?

Rubbish

Rarely a problem as we don't do much domestic where this is often an issue but the Hager boxes or Klickflo for downlights. Any joint under the floor a Wiska box correctly glanded unlike the Wago box which has a pointless means of cable restraint as it serves little purpose with Hellermann Tyton push connectors. Is that better than Wago box, any day of the week.

Hager - presumably you mean the J501 and yes these are good and I always have a few of these with me

Klickflo - not a fan of these as they have very poor cable restraint

But for downlights I do think wago's and a wago box do give a very practical solution - so this is my preferred solution of the downlights don't have proper connections for LNE on them

use many of those 501's. good boxes, just the screws on the cable clamps are a bit crappy imo

click CT101 /203 are alright, but cable grip is pretty much none existant. dont use them too much, although they do have their advantages

er... the wagobox has a far better cable restraint than clickflow's...

Yeah I think I've used a generic term like Hoover. The ones I've picked up have proper clamps.

but on 1mm lighting circuits i think their connections are too big …. That’s why wago connectors win for me

My personal preference is a "DeBox"  bit like a ChocBox..  but without the hassle of screws for the cable clamps....

Throw away the screw-terminal block they come with and use either the grey 2-way 24A wagos.. (one side 1x solid core push-fit..   other side 1x solid or flex lever type clamp)

Or..

If its a loop in & out use the White 3-way 24A wagos..   (one side 2x solid core push-fit..   other side 1x solid or flex lever type clamp)
