Hi guys,
I wish to move a ceiling light on my landing across approx 1 meter. After going up in the loft and removing the floor panels I can locate the light from above which has 2x Grey cabling going into/out of it. The wiring is tight so I cant simply grag it over/move it along so I will need some of the following:
However, what is the best method to connect this to the exisiting cabling once I have remove the exisiting light? I guess I need some type of junction box like so:
Is this all I need? its up in the loft surrounded by Insulantion which is approx 10 years old so it should be fireproof + the house was built in 1990. Am I fine to do this myself or do I need to get it signed off these days?
Cheers in advance!
