    Strange Connectors for a Light Fitting - No Screws!

    Strange Connectors for a Light Fitting - No Screws!

    Yep push fittings, B&Q love them, personally think they are a pile of cack!!! When you've mounted it and are absolutely happy with it all, cut the wires to length and insert them, then never go near it again!!!!
