Two cables - one light fitting

[Loki7430]

Hi,

Sorry, if this question is a bit basic but I'm paranoid

I was replacing a spotlight in the kitchen and there were two cables present that had been joined using a connector block to a single flex that led to the light fitting. So, Two live (red) two neutral (black) and two earth (unsheathed but I will do this) entwined to fit the three holes in the block. Is it okay to repeat this? It seem to work despite the bulbs blowing regularly!

the second cable will be the feed to the next lamp and so on

Ideally you want to have the connection in side an enclosure like this.
