Simple question really....& yes, I will try to find a reasonable sparks to help out when we figure out the best route!
We have a big new projector screen to use with a new projector. The projector is "ultra short throw", which means it sits on a table 40cm from the wall and throws a 100" display - very impressive!
The electric screen, however, arrived with about a 5' lead. Not even long enough to reach the floor
Don't really want to have it dangling to an extension cord (as we have at the moment!) - would like to route it either round the ceiling and down the corner, or round a door frame behind the screen when down.
Question is this: to avoid a lumpy extension plug, & therefore to be able to hide the power in a 16mm duct box, what is the best/safest/easiest (perm any 2 from 3 perhaps!!) way to extend the cable?
I read about cutting & soldering, also 'butt connector' crimps, as well as spliceline connectors.
In the distant past I have used 'choc blox' connectors to good effect, but I am sure there are neater/safer/tidier ways.
Welcome the thoughts. In Leicester area in case there are trades here who can offer to help (at a cost!) - new to the forum so maybe that is not allowed!
