Changing a ceiling rose fitting to a spotlight
Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2007 12:45 pm
Hi there!
I am new to this and a beginner when it comes to DiY so hope someone can help.
I want to change 2 light fittings in my kitchen/diner area. Currently i have 2 ceiling rose lights and want to replace them with halogen spots. I can't get at the wiring from above so need to do everything from below.
The spots are connected by the blue and brown wires coming from the rose.
Can i get away with connecting the wiring from the rose blocks into terminal blocks and then poking the lot through the new hole for the spots or do i have to use a junction box? If it is a junction box, then would a 5 amp 4 way junction box be ok as this is the only one smaller than the actual hole for the spot?
Hope this makes sense.
