Hi,

I have been reading on a number of forums regarding the above and I think I have got everything in my head that I need to. What I wanted to do is run it by people on here to make sure that it is correct. The responses I see on here are great and the advice is top notch.

I live in Wiltshire, in a new build that is around 6 years old. The other half wants to put down lights into the main bathroom. I have managed to get my hands on 5 Halers LED Natural White lights, after reading the forums and reviews. At the present time there is a ceiling rose in the bathroom, with the standard fitting in picture 1. The first question I have is should I convert this over to a junction box?

I have been looking at junction boxes and the best thing that I should be using as I don't want anything to go wrong with the fittings. I have been looking over the "WAGO BOX" and the fittings to go with it. Are these a good thing to use? I was also looking at the Hager Ashley J501 Junction Box? Or do I just use the old standard Brown Junction box 20amp 4 terminal one?

I have been told that I can run the lights in parallel (I.E Daisy Chain them together) and run them all from the ceiling rose that was there in the first place. The picture two is a VERY simple drawing, but is this correct?

If this is so, what are the best things to use to connect the lights and then the wire going onto the next one? Is it just a simple chocolate box inside a case? Advice would be great on this as this is the one thing that I'm slighty unsure about.

The wire I will be using will be 1mm twin earth cable.

Any help or advice would be great.

Thank you

Jimmy

Connect all the downlights in parallel using your 1mm t&e and wago's then connect to the brown/blue in the ceiling rose that went to the original 'light' fitting.
