I need some electrical advice. I'm doing a small project with a suspended ceiling in a hallway. This is just a stretched canvas which acts like a giant light shade. The proper ceiling above is solid concrete with a ceiling rose and any further wiring has to sit on top of it. The lighting for this project requires two sets of 3 x 20w low voltage halogen spots which mount on the top ceiling. I have these from Ikea and they each come with a small transformer to be mounted on the ceiling and 3 pin plugs. I want the most flexibility to change the lights or turn off one of the sets. So... I thought I'd leave the plugs on and fit a double socket on the ceiling, replacing the ceiling rose with a 4-way junction box. Is this an unsafe idea? Should I fit an extra fuse between the junction box and socket? Thanks for your input.
