When fitting recessed downlighters the following method
would overcome all the issues raised previously.
It can be seen here that the sheath of both solid conductors
and flexible conductors for the light fitting can be secured
as they enter the enclosure. This enables compliance with
regulation 522.8.5 in particular where it states that there shall
be no undue mechanical strain on the terminations of the
conductors.
Also regulation 526.8, which requires the cores of sheathed
cables from which the sheath has been removed to be
enclosed, can be seen to be complied with.
