Wiring Lampholder - no terminal blocks ?

[rideforever]

Can someone help with this, it's a new e14 lampholder apparently but no terminal blocks so how is it wired?
It is marked N and L but haven't got the foggiest what to do.
Been jamming the cables into all the orifices ... is this some newly invented c*** I don't know about ?
Anyone know ? Thanks

Probably need to stick a screwdriver into the little slot to release the silver spring, push the wire into the adjacent round hole, remove the screwdriver and check if the wire won‘t pull out of the terminal easily.

Strip wires so the copper is straight and shove it into one of the round holes.
These things are one time use - don't expect to be able to remove wires after they have been installed.

That will only work with solid wires but the picture looks like flex. You‘ll most likely need to release the spring pressure in order to get the wires in.

but the picture looks like flex.

Hopefully not, because if it is flex, it will be well over 50 years old.

That’s what I thought too. Let‘s hope it’s 1 mm2 T&E with the earth cut back. Even that would be 20+ years old though.

On the other hand, unless overloaded or damaged mechanically or by extremely harsh conditions PVC cable and flex lasts pretty much forever.

Using very small screwdriver you can release the "spring" and get the cable out.
Rather idiotic not to have proper terminals if you ask me like most modern things it's "easier" i.e they save 0.25 pence per item, and if anyone dies nobody knows anything.
