I'm currently fitting brick lights in a dry stone wall. I was wondering if anyone can suggest an easy way of connecting 2 x 1.5mm swa cables at each light. I don't think theres any way theyll fit into the lights terminals. Am I looking at joining the swa in a waterproof jb and flying lead into fitting?

Fill these boxes with magic gel, and you could forget about them.
Some people may disagree, but I would use yellow through crimps, and triple one conductor at one end, and 2x doubled over at the other. I've done this before, and I couldn't pull them apart. This could then be maintenance free.
