Title: Connecting LED flood lights
Post by Natedog on Jul 24^th, 2021, 3:51pm

I've got some LED floodlights to go up in my workshop. They come supplied with about 8 inch of flex attached. Currently I've just got a couple screwed to the roof timbers with 13a plugs on and some extension leads strung round the place - far from ideal!

When I get round to having everything wired up properly, what's the best way to connect these up to the t&e coming from the switch? All the cable will be run inside round conduit with metal clad sockets and switches. Is it OK to just run the conduit into a metal clad box with a blanking plate on it, and put a cable gland in one of the knock outs? Or is there a better way of doing it?

Cheers

That would be fine, or a whiska box with 20mm threaded entries. Then use a TRS gland on the flex, and a male conduit adapter for the conduit.
