Question on Junction Box

dp639

Last year I did a bit of wiring in an outside shed, used the forum here and a few books and all worked out well but now I've a new problem/project.

I'm wiring up a few heat lamps in the attic of the garage where the water tanks are. Here's my problem, with the outside shed I used waterproof gear and the junction box came with the terminals, a 4x4, so it was simple to wire. But I've found that all the 'inside' junction boxes I've come across are empty - what do I use (or what do I ask for) to connect my wires?

I have one cable coming from a socket and want to wire 3 lamps to it. The thermonstat is already in place between the socket and where the lamps will be. So its really one cable to spilt to go to 3 different lamps.

Cheers

Any decent connector that has good screw terminals that can give a good grip.

If you're using flexible cables(flex), might be better to use ferrules too.

Dare I say it but in my opinion, 13A strip connectors would be fine.

Thanks,
Do you have a link to any connectors so I know what I am looking for.

With regard to the 13A strip connectors, I've one cable 'coming in' and 3 'going out', so do I have 4 wires in each connector of the strip connector?

Cheers!

4 wires in each that's it!!!

What kind of cable are you using?
