Provision for spotlights in the kitchen

[Adam_151]

If it's a lot of effort to move all the existing cables to the one of the downlight positions, then don't bother. I know I suggested it, but not essential.

Or move them all to multiple downlight holes depnding on where they reach to and just run a 3&e round all the fittings carrying L-SL-N

Do I then pop some junction boxes on the ceiling? Where the four holes are

certainly put a loose junction box on the first light for the supply.
The cables between each light could be left disconnected and sorted later.
tape together so they don't move/get lost

The junction box would need to fit thru a light hole.


THese videos maybe of help with measuring.

presumably the Earth wire is wired into the spot light much like the Live and Neutral are?

Of course! The earth connection must be carried through from supply to last fitting:
Why?
How could you test the EFLI unless you had an earth?
How would you subsequently connect a Class I fitting if there's no earth? (your new spotlights may need to be earthed)

The earthing point was in response to this

And make sure all earth wires at the lights are joined together.

I wanted to clarify this as I know that the earth wire needs to be connected to the earth on the light fitting.

Yes.

I mentioned this because so many DIYers don't seem to bother connecting earth wires on downlights, for some unknown reason.
