I think we're being trolled. Having said that I've had a few ales. But I can still punctuate with the best of them. Hurrah.

I'm fact, I'm an assesor of beer drinking. Cheers! Beer.

SY cable is not suitable in fixed wiring applications that require compliance with British Standard 7671.

Correct, but there is movement, and not a fixed application.

Hi nicebutdim,
Please don’t use CHEAP push fit connectors.!
FLEX doesn’t connect well with Push Fit connectors ( hence why we use Feral's ).
Lever operated Wago may perform better.
But Feral crimping is more acceptable.

Cheap push fit connectors are supplied with lights linked by OP and can be seen connected in one of the images. I'll eat my hat if ferrules have been used.

In this instance the push fit connectors have a button to release and are perfectly fine for use with flex - it's just that the connectors supplied with cheap light fittings can be hit and miss when it comes to gripping cable.

Wago 773 range isn't suitable for use with fine stranded cables.

Wago 773 range isn't suitable for use with fine stranded cables.

Thankyou nicebutdim,
I thought I was going mad.

And ferrules can be used with Wago connection units!

I don't think SY cable is classed as fine stranded.

I've had far too many beers. Sorry.

Enjoy the beers and the Rugby.

I think we’re straying from the point.

Which was:- over engineering my cable choice from PVC or UPVC flex between a loft hinged access light fitting, 1 meter into a loft using 1.5 3c SY as the clients property had an infestation of 🐿.

What would you guys have used???

Ok but they actually came with that range ?
