I want to run an electrical cable all around the roof box to operate LED spotlights.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using 3-core or 5-core cables for lighting?

Do I understand this correctly: NYM cable -> terminal block -> extension cable -> terminal block -> GU10 socket? So if there is enough cable length, why do it this way?The rigid NYM cable was run up to the roof overhang and then extended with a flexible two-core cable. It looked like speaker cable with a corresponding cross-section. This cable was easier to bend and connect to the GU10 sockets.

Yes, really,
even if the socket is installed inside a housing or a lamp, it doesn’t look any different inside. GU10 comes with a cable.
The end customer doesn’t need to worry about the internal construction. Cable in the terminal, done.Similar topics
