I have some downlights to install under my kitchen wall units. When I had the kitchen delivered it came with the lights (240v- 2.5A) that connect to a plug socket via a 2 pin flex ( 3 pin standard plug at one end and 2 pin push in connector at the other, to go into the light fitting).
An electrician has already wired a circuit for the lights, seperate from the ring main. It has a 3A wall switch and from this there is a ring that has 3 different points of connection for the downlights.
I have thought about connecting the existing lead from the walls to the light via the flex (the one with the 2 pin connection) via a permanent mains connector. There are 2 leads of each (L,N,E) at each point .
Is it ok to do this? What do I do with the leads that are returning TO the wall? Do they go into the same terminal of the connector as the leads coming FROM the wall?
