Used to connect an LED PIR which is replacing an old halogen. The halogen PIR had the connections contained within, I was able to tuck this neatly behind the mounting. Perfect for the job.
I personally loved this little black box thingy…I was able to do the wire thing with my tiny girlie hands after my partner had tried for some time with his man hands and failed.
First time for everything on both accounts.
Apparantly it works well. It’s fiddly though, but not if you’re a woman/girl/dude with very small hands.
I used this to install a new security camera. 8mm cable on one end, 13A twin and earth on the other. The box is very well made, great fitment and the two screws to clamp the gasket down are spot on.
However, it’s not a lot of space to work in, and with stiff 13A twin and earth, frustrating. I got there, but honestly, a floppy 8mm cable is the limit. It serves me right, I should have looked at the spec more. However, getting the 8mm cable in was only slightly easier than the twin and earth. I don’t doubt the IP rating on it, but it could use a bit more room for manoeuvre.
Easy to fit, with screws etc. included. Haven’t any rain since delivery hence the mid-range score on ‘waterproof’ and ‘water resistance’ but if looks are anything to go they should be 4/5.
