Junction Box for Concealed Lighting

Jun 09, 2010 3 Replies

Hi all



Looking at kitchen wiring details and feeding concealed lights under wall units. I will need 3 lighting feeds + loopin + loopout + switch wire. Are there any neat, multi cable JBs around that will do a better job of this than the usual round 5 amp type? Also, is it usual to do the run from the JB (in the loft) to each lighting point in flex rather than flat T&E - it would seem more appropriate.



Thanks
