Hi, I've recently had an electrician round to fit a new circuit for me in to my bathroom ceiling. I didn't have the LED lights at the time, but they have since arrived and I now want to connect them up.
Both the LED driver and the LED strip lights are IP67 waterproof, and I need to make my connections steam/moisture resistant too. The lights are out of view, but not embedded in to the ceiling and easily reachable via ladder - I'm putting them into a large light tunnel that has a small shelf on either side - the lights will point upwards to provide ambient lighting, bit hard to explain!
Anyway, key point is - the cable is solid core, on a 6a light circuit, and the connections need to be steam/moisture resistant though will not come in to direct contact with flowing water. I'm thinking of using crimps, sheathed in shrink wrap tubing, and a generous silicon coating at both ends.
Question is - does this like a reasonable/safe approach?
Many thanks in advance!
