Today I bought the above light from Argos. It is rather nice, apart from 
the fact that the electrical connection is just 3 wires into a terminal 
connection block.

Am I right in thinking that to fit this light, I need to put a junction 
box above the ceiling, to replace the current standard rose pendant? If 
so, then am I also right in thinking that it is possible to get other 
pendant lights that have all the necessary terminal connections built in?

Thanks

John

Not sure why but most lights you buy only supply three connector block I 
just add a 4th for the common wires myself

Thanks ... in the end, I just bought myself the jigsaw I'd wanted for a 
while, and got under the upstairs floorboards, and fitted a juntion box.
