Hi,
I need to take a loop-in pendant out of my wiring circuit, which means that the follow-on wiring now needs to connect directly to the previous circuit wiring.
What's the best way to do this? A junction box seems like an expensive and bulky way to simply join two T&E cables. I understand that crimp connectors are an acceptable way of doing this, but I'm not convinced of their robustness. Are the crimps for household electrics the same as you get in, say, Halfords? I have a proper crimping tool, but I just can't see how that gives the same level of clamping force as a grub screw in a junction box.
What do the sparkys use/recommend?
Thanks
