what method do you electrical chaps use to make up connections with stranded wire
i have just put in a set of downlighters and joined them up with 1.5 stranded wire as it was flexible to go round the loft area
it was a pig trying to get the wires to go into the lamp connector as i was looping in and out for the set
i gave the wire a bit of a twist to make it smooth but individual strands kept buckling etc
i finally got them in with all the strands in the connectors
i had thought i might have to solder the ends of each cable as you get on some electrical appliances to make each strand...'solid'...then insert them singly into the connectors for the loop in and out..
cheers
