4 lights 3 switches best way to wire them ?

[MrTeeny]

I'm replacing some wall lights and want to update the wiring to 2 core and earth + change switch.

At the moment they're wired as follows

1 switch does ceiling light (ceiling rose in place but not being used for switch)

1 switch side wall light

1 switch two wall light.

I'm quite happy for the switching to remain as is, previously switched with 2 * 2 core cables (no earth) - 1 wire carrying live and other 3 as switched lives. These will stay the same just replaced with 2 * 2 core+earth.

Everything goes into a junction box to control the lights with the earth wires just twisted together outside the JB and one of the wires for the joint walls lights connected with a shrinkwrap connector thingy.

I'm OK with the mechanics of whats swtching what just wondered if there's a better way to wire them and if I should bring the ceiling rose into play to neaten things up

Thanks

I would use a 6 terminal junction box so all the connections have proper terminals, other than that I can't see any reason to modify the wiring layout.

Thanks for the quick reply, are 6 terminal JB quite common ? i.e do the sheds sell them as I've only seen the 4 terminal ones

You can buy them but I can only see 20A ones. It doesn't matter that its current wise a bit beefy for the job.
