I am designing a wall light with 3 core 0.75mm cable leads.

I am designing a wall light . Can the cable leads from the fitting be connected to the mains wiring inside the wall cavity or does the connection have to be within a terminal housing as part of the fitting?

Not all walls have a cavity, even if it does, any cable joint needs to be within an enclosure.
the simplest way to achieve this is normally to enclose the terminals within the fitting.

Thanks James. I thought that might be the case. Cheers.

Make the base / bracket for the wall lights big enough to accept 2 x 1.5 twin and earth cables as this is what most Uk sparks seem to use these days
