Default Loop-in wiring and Ikea lights (safe?)

OK shape ...


I forgot to add at this point, "provided that all three conductors
carry on to the end and are all clamped together under the screw in
your fitting": it's *not* remotely safe practice for them to be just
twisted together and to have just one extending into the fitting.
