What would you guys say about this connections ? Crimped together then heat-shrink over it. I want to say that if they just added another sleeve over it all to cover the single cores it would be ok ? Or what are your guys thoughts. Wanting to know as I now have to add extra down-lighters thats the same to this installation.
The person who i sue to do my COC's on occassion would fail it for 2 reason ... 1 no connector on the earth and the other exposed wiring.
I take a piece of 25 mm PVC pipe glue pushin glands on either side and bingo you have a joint protected ... or just use a coupling with 2 pushin glands.
I use this method on flood light with those silly short 100 mm tails ...like radiant sells at ARB for around R60.
Comments are based on opinion...not always facts....that's why people use an alias.
For the first picture a three way pvc box with three push in glands. Hopefully there is enough cable on the light fitting to reach inside of the box. That should satisfy 6.3.7 & 6.4.3 of the regulations.

Thanks for the tip, Ian. Tried your idea today. Simple, yet brilliant. Will use it for downlights as well in future.
Maybe what i should do is 3 D print a piece of plastic which can fit a pushin gland on either side and put a 20 mm round hole in the middle ... then its not in a connector, bend, elbow or Tee-piece of a conduit.
R 1.50 per pushin gland plus a piece of plastic R5.00 ... way cheaper than those silly little cable jointers sold for R50-R80 ... talk about a rip off.

I've been looking for cable joiners mainly for retrofitting joints in downlights correctly. If you have any info or pictures on the ones you have come across I would appreciate that.
The only ones that I could going are sold in the UK only.
Thank you
