I have some connections to make for a ceiling light, switch and run-on timer. The light fitting does not have any loop-in terminals, just L and N. The connection groups to be made are: permanent live (3 items): feed from CU, feed to switch, timer perm live switched live (3 items): return from switch, lamp, timer trigger neutral (4 items): feed from CU, lamp, timer neutral, fan neutral
In the past I would just do all this in those brown junction boxes under the floor. However, the floor above is hardboarded and vinyl covered, so the floor space is not really accessible. I need to have all the above connections accessible as per the regs.
Options:
- Fit them into the back of the timer wall box (don't think they would fit)
- Put them into an empty wall box with blank plate on the front
- As (2) but put my fan isolator there instead of a blanking plate and use box deep enough for all connections
- Put all the connections in the light fitting (they would be in an enclosed space a couple of inches from the bulb and would get hot).
What's the best / usual method in this situation ?
Thanks, Simon.
