[QUOTE="1strangefish, post: 300324, member: 5179"] Hi all First off, Merry Christmas and all that Jazz I am after some help to speed up the time it takes me to install downlighters. I use fire rated 12V IP65 downlights in bathrooms. When installing with a pull cord I run the power in to a 5a 4 terminal JB. Then 2 core to pull cord for live/SL. Then run first cable from JB to first tranny using a choc box (screwfix equivalent) and 3 terminal blocks, i loop in and out then connect the tranny and finally the tranny to the down light, then move on to repeat x number of times. All usually done in loft space. Completed job yesterday, where I had to measure out and drill the holes, while avoiding joists ETC also install a showerlight fan using a similar approach to above but including a 3a FCU. Also added to pull cords. Had some issues wth the joists and the position of the fan which I had to overcome, but ended up being onsite for 8 hours with not much of a break. Is there a quicker/easier way of doing this as it seems to be taking me for ever. Any help you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated. Cheers in advance Fish [/QUOTE]
