[QUOTE="Sparkless, post: 536179, member: 35329"] The photo shows the existing wiring connections within a square "wiring hub" for my house lighting. It looks like the installer didn't like using the loop-through system. Originally there were several more cables but I was able to move them to the separate circular junction box also show in the photo. I want to improve this arrangement and I am considering using either... a Wago box like this [I][COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)][U][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.screwfix.com/p/wago-l32-25a-32-terminal-2-3-or-5-way-junction-box-set-115-x-155-x-35mm/621hv[/URL][/U][/COLOR][U] [/U] (a bit small and few cable entries but Wago connectors)[/I] or a Timeguard TRT049N wiring centre box [COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)][I][U][URL unfurl="true"]https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/SMTRT049N.html[/URL][/U][/I][/COLOR] (more space & more cable entries but screw terminals) I'd be glad to have any (helpful) observations or comments and any (sensible) suggestions for alternatives to the above. I am not an electrician but I have 35 years experience as an electronics & electrical engineer (I.Eng., M.I.E.T.) Thanks [/QUOTE]
