I thought that would get you interested!  Today I am discussing different studs, joint box studs! Last week A customer phoned me to finish off his lounge.  He had scabby wiring to a center light and four wall lights. He wanted these in the same places plus an extra light in his new feature fire place.Now the way all these modern fittings work, there is usually a shortage of space to fit all the wiring.  On top of this he is wiring a fancy sound system with speakers in the ceiling. Therefore I decided to wire it all to a joint box in one of these speaker holes. 

A bit tight but a real good job. Let me explain……The reason i have done this work is so you end up with one twin and earth at each light position.  The down side is that they all end up here!  This is a 6-stud jointbox so i can create terminals for :

• permanent line
• neutral
• earth
• switch wire for ceiling light
• switch wire for ceiling light and switch wire for fire place light

now that meant that I had four wall light wires, so I jointed them into a joint box before this and popped them in the ceiling hole. If you think this is bad, think again, they make EIGHT  stud joint boxes as well!

See you next time
