What is the best way to wire ceiling lights?

Arran Cameron
The ceiling rose junction box with its loop-in wiring is now really showing its age and is no longer a practical (or even safe) installation for most residents who wish to install fancy light fittings. It is still, however, the most common arrangement for new build houses and rewires, probably as the result of the electrician's training and how they consider it to be the norm or they cannot think of (potentially better) alternatives.


So, what is the best way to wire ceiling lights? Should neutral wires be taken to the switches or not?

    "The majority of electricians seem to have a mindset for rentals, new builds, or property developers who refurbish and sell houses, where minimalism and cost cutting is the name of the game " that might be because most of their customers are that type and it is like a breathe of fresh air to find a rare client who wants different. In the real world it can be a race to the bottom on price, done as quick as possible . Or they get someone else. That way the mindset of many gets fixed to what it is generally not what we would like it to be.
