Steinel stuff had a good reputation in the past for there sensors, they now do pir floodlights but quite costly

Any connecters even the Dc output should really be in an enclosure. It's not just to contain the connecters but also to restraint the cable from pulling, moreso if the cables not clipped. Even something cheap like a choc box is enough, if as you say, you can slide shelf off for access...

Regarding fixing the strip you could fit the metal profiles that the strips fit inside. Regarding retrofit led in your old twin fitting it likely has a series set up, older single choke and 2 starters, usually evident by a flashing when starting, or a newer single hf ballast, just a...

You can build your assembly with MK GRID and it will look just like the 4 way MK switch you first posted With a little care you can even replace the back piece of the switch you have purchased with an intermediate module, though dont attempt if not confident

The consumer side is for easy installation, them flaps push down, , the load side is not, that is connected during manufacture. To release them use a paper clip pushed in them small holes or sometimes just pull the wire hard, often though the load side is not reusable and the new cable fails...
