Ceiling Lights

[soborski2015]

Hi there, Im just about to change the fitting on my lights changing from a normal pendant to some 4 bar spotlights. Before i do this I just want to clarify what im doing is okay, I dont have much room for wires to work with from the 3 wires coming from the ceiling.

So basically I have put the 3 brown wires together Into a yellow crimp. I then have put the two blue wires Into a crimp and the switched live wire into a seperate crimp, the earth wires are also into a crimp. Is it okay now to use some wire from T&E to connect into the other ends of the crimps to terminate the light? I am aware i can use wago connectors or terminal blocks but have been told that crimps are the best connection you can get.

Is it okay to do it with the crimps though?

Terminating a single 1mm² or 1.5mm² into a yellow crimp isn't going to be "the best connection you can get". As Tel says, use Wagos. It will be a better and easier job.

Wagos everytime, using a larger crimp to put 3 seperate conductors in is not the way to go.
