Existing light with light ceiling rose, change for new light is a flush fit LED jobby.
Existing cable comes through the joist and next to no slack. I assume there is a cut out above and they bend in. (this seems to be the crux of my problem).
There is no slack or space to bend the cables back up with a junction box on but it will with something like a wago on but I cannot do this?
New lamp does not have enough hole for all the cables but would if I enbigged it but lose warranty (can live with that).
I have searched, I understand that I cannot remove the rose and wago up and put the connectors into the void of the room (downstairs room, no access from above without lifting carpets etc.).
If I make the new light fitting hole larger, I can put the connections inside the fitting.
I could try to change the fitting but as long as it is working, I can live with the bigger hole.
What have I got wrong if I may ask?
Cheers.
Edit to add no slack. oops.
