whats classes as the correct method of terminating an earth cable when you have double insulated fittings?

You can see on the picture I can’t get a wage inside nor a normal connector block it’s just too tight.

I have seen in the past the cpc being bent over and also snipped off which isn’t recommend just wanted to know the correct way of termination.

that's disgraceful.the Wago logo should be facing the camera. :D:D:D.
 
it's difficult,personally snip it off.
Can't really see a problem,it's connected at other end.
May seem a bit rough,but manufacture should have an earth terminal .

If it’s one of many, the CPC needs to continue to the next fitting.
Snipping off would not be an option.
Easiest solution, is to trim back the cable sheath so the CPC can be connected outside of the enclosure.
 
Could have found some bigger green/yellow sleeving :D.
Red crimp would fit down the side of the terminal block?

Like people did at the old circular junction boxes, just leave them not suitably enclosed.
 
Click Flow connectors.
Over sleeve it, bend back and tape to the sheath.

This way the CPC is there should anyone need in the future.

Some things can be overthought if allowed to.
And how would it be connected to the Earthing arrangement if there is more than one luminaire?

Are you being serious, leave it unenclosed and taped to the sheath. There is a difference between over thought and no thought.
