The loft is dry and clean at the moment. I meant moisture by any reason in the future. I find Chocboxes a bit flimsy. Also the spotlights are in between beams so there is nowhere to screw the junction boxes apart from the ceiling plaster board which I don’t really want to do. I will redo these...

Can I use wago connectors without the wago box if I’m connecting downlighters with them? Can’t I  use insulating black tape to wrap up and insulate  the connectors agains moisture in the loft? Or is that a suicidal solution? I find the wago box a bit loose anyway. 

Thank you Dave. I really appreciate your help. I’ve fitted the new junction box this morning. It should be all right. The cooker circuit has an RCD 80A protection plus an MCB B32. The fuse box is Wylex. The cocker cable is 6mm and my spur is 2mm towards the TV. Now I used the IP54/64 junction...

What do you mean Evans?
