Wago Boxes

[Jever]

Hi all,

I've used Wago boxes in the past and find them really practical. My question is is this type of box suitable for lighting cicuits:

I assume so but the reason I ask is I also came across these boxes:

but the connectors only had two cable inserts.

If my assumption is correct, what's the purpose of the second box?

TIA

The first one is just to join two cables the third is to join and serve a Luminaire.

Sorry I meant The Second Link has an ability for a third cable coming out to serve a Luminaire

The second one is smaller and can fit through a 2 inch downlight hole.

Ah, ok, so the first is suitable for lighting, it's just that the second my be preferred where there are size retrictions?

I presume he meant second, not third.

Third what? I only offered two links, so I don't understand the comment.

Chivers wrote 'third'; I presume he meant 'second' as there are only two.

They don't come with any connectors...

The wago light junction boxes are designed for wago 221 224 (260 294) push in connectors.

Ive used the junction boxes but with the 3way 221 connectors -its a bit cramped but works fine.

Having used them on downlighters I can understand why pro electricians like downlighters pre wired with spring loaded terminals.

Sorry -I meant 224. I just dont get on with the push in jobbies

I like the 221 cable connectors, so quick to adjust.

I will edit.
