Miniature 3-pin 230V inline connector suggestions

That was my plan, in essence.

Got the outlets....

Ah well - there are other small alternatives.

But you said

Note: The LNE range of connectors is not suitable for mains connections to equipment for domestic use as defined in the Low Voltage Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1989.

So you, like me, take no notice.

Well - when I originally had the plan I wasn't aware of the restriction on use of those.

Has your plan changed as a result of your becoming aware of it?

Kind Regards, John

Hard to say, as I can't get any plugs.

The sets I have used have all had a two wire section mid way along the set. Divide the set there and unless there is a CPC as well you could use a smaller 2 pin connector

Mine has 3 wires in the middle.

It's actually made up of 4 40x6v lamp sets in parallel.

No cpc.

But I agree - trying to draw it out it doesn't make sense that there would be any more than 2 wires in the sections between lamp #40 & #41, #80 & 81 etc.

I need to get them down before xmas as I want to check if some spare lamps I bought are the right type, so I'll have another look.

Yes, welll...

Umm

Paying closer attention to the counting of the lights revealed that there are indeed only 2 wires between lamps 40 & 41, 80 & 81 etc, so I only need a 2-pole connector.

I'm glad I did do it more carefully though, as it also revealed the one of the 40-lamp strings had 2 fuse lamps, and one of them had none.
