[QUOTE="Andy™, post: 300363, member: 2012"] i mostly pre-wire downlights before the job. i do about 2 jobs per week of downlight in bathrooms. the ceiling is usually lowered, but the wiring is still the same prettu much. they are already pre-wired for 3/4/5/6 downlights basically, 3/4/5/6 lengths of flex to one crimped joint (covered with heatshrink) with another shorter cable to go to loop connections. so when i get to job, get appropriate wire from van, fit downlight connections to each end, then connect to where existing light was. connections are either left next to one of the lights, or pushed into the loft probably takes about 30 mins to install them once i get to the job [/QUOTE]
