Hello everyone,

I bought a SÄNDA rail system with the large ceiling connector part (article number: 501.679.31) because I needed to partially conceal some cables. Functionally, I’m very satisfied with it.
However, it doesn’t look very good 🙁 : there is a noticeable gap between the ceiling and the ceiling connector. This is partly because the ceiling connector part is slightly bent, and partly because the rail is slightly tilted due to uneven drilling 😕 . (It’s definitely not caused by the concealed cable, as that fits well inside the connector.)
For the time being, I wrapped the cover with white tape to make the gap less noticeable against the ceiling. But maybe someone is familiar with this problem and has found a better, more elegant solution?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

It seems that instead of the ceiling junction box, it’s better to go for the 4-way junction box: it fits snugly against the ceiling, provides some space for the cables, and the three unused connections can be neatly covered. Too bad I didn’t find this out earlier. 🙁
