I would argue that anything that increases 'first time right' is a good thing. The current issue in big builds is that the installer at 2nd fix doesn't often test it, and so has no incentive to get it 100% right. One single fault is a real pain to find and fix. How many housebuilders DON'T have a wiring issue reported as a snag by either the person testing/inspecting, or (and we hope not this late) by a new house owner? Wago 221s are a godsend. Period. In a socket? Yes please, yesterday. The same goes for light switches. My view is that the 221s should be in the pattress though, NOT the face plate (as you glued them). So, the socket would need to have fly leads to link to the 221s, which means a 4 way 221 would be needed (ring final [2] PLUS spur plus fly lead). In effect, if you look at how a commercially installed socket is done in the USA, they now tend to have a fly lead on the socket to link to a 221 (or equivalent) where all the wiring comes in/out. Take a look at this Spelsberg junction box from CPC: cpc.farnell.com/spelsberg/80680701/ip65-grey-junction-box-screwless/dp/EN85174. That is in production already. The connection block at the top unscrews and comes out. Genius. In a pattress, you could fit the wires to the 221s, slot them in to the carrier, screw that in, introduce the socket fly leads, fit the socket to the pattress.

Hell yes. Tiny Screw terminals are so sharp they make it really easy to cut through a 1.5mm cable. How many times have I have to re-terminate the cable cos I’ve chopped through it cos I do the screw up too hard..... Your prototype is thicker ‘cos the wagos are at an angle. Could be thinner by laying them flat, at the risk of having to be a larger diameter. But that layout isn’t required... would a north south east west layout allow you to keep the same diameter?

Whilst the ease of fitting is good, for me the big draw the confidence in the clamping of the wire. Most basic roses use the end of the screw to clamp rather having a pressure leaf to spread the clamping force.... time and time again I come across either loose or over-tightened resulting in broken conductors. The other big bonus is 1 wire 1 terminal, no twisting together etc.

As someone who hates the awkwardly angled terminals with no decent plastic molding to guide the screwdriver on a lot of ceiling roses, I like this idea very much. Generally on most new places I wire I take feeds to the switches and have 47mm boxes, as often end up having to fit flat plates with dimmers, and most of the designer lighting that gets specified barely has the capacity to house 1 cable. I would imagine anyone coming along to replace one of these with a decorative fitting would probably just pull the wagos out of the molding and house them in the base of the new fitting, which is far better than the old DIY trick of busing up the plastic on a ceiling rose and taping up the exposed brass terminals.

Speaking from a Customer/Consumer Point of View I think these would actually increase safety as this would mean that customers who self install these pendant roses would not need to spend more time on step ladders than what they would need to do if they were to screw them in. Secondly I think having this for the trade would mean that as customer I would know that in less than 10 mins my electrician I contract to carry out the works would charge me less or be able to carry out more install's in my property within the 1 hour hourly rate! Saving me time, money and the contractor their time too! I think screwless sockets and light fittings are the way to go as I would feel safer knowing the terminations have been made correctly to the right tightness and it would avoid arcing and sparking!

As I said before crabtree certainly had push fit switches in the late 80's early 90's, not sure if they did sockets in that range, I am not sure there's a real market for this, I have switch fed since the 90's, mainly because it's easier to terminate a load of cables low down rather than stuck on a step ladder, although these days with smart switches, where you normally need a neutral it makes sense to switch feed. So for that reason, I think it's dead before it starts, and at least 10 years too late or more. Cost wise, there's well over £1's worth of wago connectors, I would say you looking in the £3 - £5 area.

Think the jury is still out on these. Most new builds use 2 plate method with just 1 or 2 cables at the light. £2.50 as can’t see the real time benefit and testing seems like it could be a little trickier than conventional pendants. Also scenario where you have 4 cables plus at the fitting is arguably where these would be most beneficial but with current design this is not possible. With some tweaks and if you can keep cost down then it could make its way onto the shelves. Good luck to the designer, hope it works out for you 😊

May be a silly question, Can we use 3 way connector where there are only 2 connections and the 3rd slot keeps empty in the wago? Does that makes any safety issue? Thank You

Why don’t you start using a junction box chased in the wall to receive all your lighting cables and make the connections rather than using the light fixture for it.. even worse when downlights are installed, you never know where the main connections are 😑

I would argue the only downside to this being connecting another light which turns on silmutaneously. Apparently you can't connect 2 conductors into one wago hole.

These would be great when some electricians use cheap 1 mm twin and earth to stop damage caused by screws when over tightening such small cables.

Hi, Just a thought. As modern smoke alarms are fed from the light fittings. Has this rose got a seperate set of wagoe's for this or do you just double the smoke alarm feed wires into the same terminals?

Whether or not these would speed up your install any fittings that can utilise wago type connectors and cut down on the amount of screwdriver work is going to stave off the onset of arthritis in the knuckles of electricians.

Like the idea but depends on cost because whilst it’s convenient for Electricians hard to sell the benefits to clients.
