Yes..tidy job and wired correctly, no single insulation showing outside of junction box, but should have done a quick test on existing😊 circuit to make sure you have correct polarity and a good earth conection. Leave the last light in chain disconnected so you can carry out continuity tests R1, R2 , Zs test and RCD trip times test for Minor Works Cert that needs issuing for addition to lighting circuit, once testing is done connect last light
Chalk line down the middle through the centre of the holes same again across each hole then mark the walls before overboarding then once boarded use the wall marks the chalk line over the boards to get your exact hole centres you probably already know this just though id pass it on just incase
@@reno_with_us yes they are good saves so much mess! Handy tools! Keep up the good work. Considering you’re not a sparky you put more effort into that job with making sure you drill the holes in the centre of the joist and yes good for you. Good to see someone who tries and puts effort in! Every one has different ways of doing It. I can see why you hacked more of the ceiling out to get the drill in but you could have drilled multiple holes with the hole saw and DADE too just a tip…good you over boarded saves time!
Well done Ewan looks boss 👍
Thanks Nick, appreciate it👍
Good explanations. How many lights can you run off one circuit?
I would speak to an electrician as it depends on what your setup is.
If led then up to 20 downlights at 5 watts each

Great tip mate! Thanks
You can get a tool called the DADE it’s for downlighters it fits on your drill to stop the dust going everywhere worth getting for a few quid
I was thinking the same there like a fiver the mess he made 😂 not sure why he hacked at the ceiling like that such a messy job no need
I’ll get one of those for next time, appreciate it👍
@gregc7699 I knew there were cables routed in that ceiling, so I had to be careful with cutting tools👍

@@reno_with_us fair enough definitely gives me more confidence to do this in my flat though 🤞
