Our sparky has put some armoured cable behind a new wall.
Why is the sparks using armoured cable? Is this inside the house?
You need to protect cable runs with metal or RCCB's under Regs. Using armoured cable for lighting circuits is well over the top.
Armoured cable is for high impact industrial areas or buried cable outside.

Our sparky has put some armoured cable behind a new wall and wired some lighting loops behind.
I want to test the lights when they come and I’m happy about wiring those up but wondered what the best was to get a three pin plus on the end of the armoured so I can plug them in for a test.
Is there some sort of adaptor?
I’m baffled by what I’ve seen online about voltage drops and length of cable etc.
