Downlights

[Metalmangler]

Hi I am a DIYer, but I did have electricians training about 45 years ago. I'm installing LED downlights (IP65) in my upstairs bathroom. I have the loft insulation protectors (domed ones). The problem is that if I asssemble the light fittings as per the instructions the insulation protector dome will not fit over. The connector block fits at 90 degrees to the light fitting which makes the whole thing too wide. The wires have the heatproof insulation and they terminate inside a small plastic box into a small connector block. My question is would it be OK to do away with this small plastic box, which mounts on a metal 90 degree bracket and just use WAGO connectors? Even with LED lights I can imagine the temperature inside the domed protector will get quite warm as there are no holes for any heat to escape (unless I drill some). I can zip tie the T&E so that there is no strain on the joints if I ever need to replace a bulb. Will that be acceptable or do I just need to buy bigger insulation protector boxes? Thanks for any advice.

Yes. But it's usually what's available scrap wise onsite?
