    When installing LED light fittings the LED wires are very thin and fragile. Even with very light handling I found one situation that caused the crimped LED power terminations to fray and fall apart. So there is no way that this wire will tolerate weight hanging from the terminal.

    TIP
    Loop a small amount of cable from the LED side and tape that to the transformer so that if in the future someone comes to service the lamp and allows it to hang from its cables, it will not destroy the connection to the transformer. This can often happen when a ceiling is being repainted.
