LAP Carp - who designs this stuff?

Before and after - room to loop through now!

Also, why 2 earths?

And I see there's plenty of room for a fixing screw to snag a live cable... What sort of screw are you using? A nice silver countersunk would look great on the front of that.

Assuming there's not a hidden bracket for this fitting

It fits over a plastic back box (less room again) with a couple of "fally outy' M6 machine screws and domed nuts which I can just about twiddle on with size 6(small) hands!

All these fittings nowadays even the major lighting brands seem to only have enough room for a 0.75 flex

Just making a point really - it was a squeeze and a bit unnecessary imho. And working off steps in the cold it was a lot easier to only have to push in the solid cores.
Heat covers were only on 3 wires and theres no way these things will get remotely warm so I reckon they were OTT. The PIRs are probably bought in items by LAP and come with them in case they're shoved in next to a 1000W halogen lamp!

maybe I'm nit picking the people designing them light fitting put those heat covers on for reason
why don't you send the company that make them a letter tell the designer the fitting are c77P.and they will give you the answer.

Something about this post just tickled me. Now I’m rolling around with laughter

No heat proof sleeve on the other wires!!! Same current !

One problem I see is the new set up isn't designed to take three conductors in the push side (neutral)

As far as I am aware those Wago connectors that have been used in your modification are only designed for 1 flex cable whereas you have inserted 3.

You seemed to have fixed a problem that didn't exist and in doing so created a few new problems.
