Changing bathroom light fitting

[pmakesp]

Purchased a new bathroom light fitting to replace a standard plastic one. Trouble is when I removed the current fitting, the wiring had no give at all and would not stretch far enough to the terminals on the new fitting. The wiring is basically protruding from the ceiling by about 2 cm - I need about another 4!

How do I get around this? - being an IT person the only way I can think of it to connect a box connector and buy some cable (feel I might get flamed for that!!)

Any help appreciated

Best solution would be to pull the existing cables back into the loftspace above asnd fit a junction box, then run a single piece of

1mm twin and earth from the junction box to the light fitting.

Thanks for that! - could I trouble you to point me to the correct junction box on Screwfix's site?

Much appreciated!

You may also find that you can find more slack from above.
