I've just bought an LED motion sensor floodlight to replace an old halogen one. There's an existing switch inside. I was just going to wire the existing cable into my new LED light, but I've found the LED's a sealed unit and has its own cable (usual 3 wires). Can I use an external junction box to join the cables? What should I buy?

If this is aimed at me, it is a serious question.
Having to go back on the work due to the lack of clamping arrangement and subsequent failure at inspection I've stopped using wiska boxes.
I wonder how others get over the situation.

Most of my work is commercial and usually inspected by customer and/or consultant.

Frequently I need to install with the devices flying lead direct into a JB and therefore it needs a clamp. I find the Wiska is not worth the cost compared to a small adaptable box or Besa box.
