For the dependable connection of lighting arrays, lighting connectors are essential. Whether the environment is domestic, commercial or industrial, lighting connectors present the safest and most efficient way to hook up lighting systems to mains power.

No matter how complex your lighting set up, whether LED or halogen, lighting connectors present the most convenient way to get connected.

## **Lighting Connectors vs. Terminal Blocks**

When compared to [terminal blocks](https://nz.rs-online.com/web/c/connectors/terminal-blocks/), the advantages of using lighting connectors are readily apparent. They present a safer, maintenance free alternative to terminal connectors. They also have the advantage of quicker release and connection should you need to reconfigure your lighting array.

Unlike terminal blocks, lighting connectors do not have to be screwed and unscrewed when changed, and often present a more secure, definite connection, giving you not just convenience but peace of mind.

While terminal blocks may afford you the option to customise multiple connections into a single block, this is not always desirable as it increases the scope for error and confusion. Bespoke connectors, on the other hand, offer a straightforward and purpose-built solution.

## **Types of Lighting Cable Connectors**

As a premier provider of industrial and electronic solutions, RS’ range of lighting connectors offer solutions for many applications. Whether it is screw locking, high IP rated connectors for use in harsh and outdoor environments, or convenient snap-in connectors that eliminate the need for soldering or tedious screwing, there is a lighting connector to suit all your needs:

### **LED and Halogen Connectors**

Ensure seamless power delivery and control for your LED or halogen lighting fixtures. These connectors offer compatibility with a wide range of lighting technologies, providing a reliable and efficient link between your light source and the rest of your system

### **Couplers and Adapters**

Expand your lighting possibilities and adapt to diverse setups. Couplers enable you to extend cable lengths or join multiple fixtures together, while adapters bridge the gap between different connector types, ensuring compatibility and flexibility.

### **In-line Connectors**

Simplify troubleshooting and maintenance tasks. In-line connectors create convenient access points within your lighting circuit, allowing for easy testing, repairs or additions without disrupting the entire system.

### **Waterproof Lighting Connectors**

Protect your lighting investments from the elements. These connectors provide robust defence against moisture, dust and other environmental factors, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor or damp locations.

### **Wire-to-Board Connectors**

Streamline your lighting installations with direct and efficient connections. Wire-to-board connectors seamlessly integrate your lighting wires with printed circuit boards (PCBs), minimising clutter and enhancing the overall aesthetic of your light setup.

## **Lighting Connector Distribution Units**

Our range also includes lighting connector distribution units, purpose-built to simplify complex lighting setups by linking multiple connectors to a single power connection. Their straightforward design and ease of use make them ideal for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. These units typically offer protection against environmental ingress, ensuring outdoor suitability and reliable performance even in challenging conditions.

Key features of these distribution units include centralised power distribution, eliminating the need for numerous individual connections. They provide multiple connection points to accommodate diverse lighting fixtures and configurations, promoting a clean and organised setup. Their robust construction and sealed connections ensure durability and longevity, while user-friendly designs and clear labelling simplify installation and maintenance.

## **Strain Relief Features**

Many of the lighting connectors, including lighting plugs, are provided with built-in strain relief, meaning the connector actively protects the internal connection to the wire by absorbing and mitigating any stress or pressure applied to the cable. This crucial feature significantly reduces the risk of wire damage, loose connections and premature failure, ultimately ensuring a longer lifespan for your lighting connection and minimising the need for frequent maintenance or replacements of your lights.

## **Applications of Lighting Connectors**

Lighting connectors are used across various sectors, from ambient lighting at home to [high bay lighting](https://nz.rs-online.com/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/high-bay-lighting-guide) in industrial areas, illuminating spaces and enhancing functionality. Here are some key areas where they play a vital role:

- **Residential:** Lighting connectors are essential in homes for connecting ceiling lights, chandeliers, wall sconces, and other fixtures. They ensure safe and reliable electrical connections for both indoor and outdoor lighting systems.
- **Commercial:** From offices and retail stores to hotels and restaurants, lighting connectors are crucial for illuminating commercial spaces. They enable versatile lighting designs and facilitate easy maintenance and upgrades.
- **Industrial:** In factories, warehouses, and other [industrial settings](https://nz.rs-online.com/web/content/discovery/ideas-and-advice/workplace-lighting-guide), lighting connectors enable the installation of robust and durable lighting systems that can withstand harsh conditions. They also provide flexibility for reconfiguring lighting layouts as needed.
- **Automotive:** Lighting connectors are used extensively in vehicles for headlights, taillights, interior lighting and other automotive applications. They ensure secure and weatherproof connections for optimal performance and safety.
- **Healthcare:** In hospitals, clinics and other healthcare facilities, lighting connectors play a crucial role in creating well-lit and hygienic environments. They enable the installation of specialised lighting systems for surgical rooms, patient rooms and common areas.
