Hi,
Please go easy on me, I'm not an electrician. I'm making an industrial pipe lamp using plumbing parts. The flex is 3 core, 0.75mm. It came with inline switch and molded plug. Because the flex wasn't long enough before the switch to go through the lamp I'm having to splice it at the base of the lamp. I've used heat shrink crimps (see photo attached) Do you think this will suffice? Or should I use an alternative method? I've run conduit through the metal pipe so the flex won't be in contact with the metal. Also all the parts are CE marked and the lamp(bulb) holder is earthed. I'm obviously keen for it to be safe.
Any advice gratefully received.
Cheers, Rick
