True, but they also have no cord grip, so I suppose one shouldn't really be dropping a flex out of one to a luminaire on chain, and should use an adjacent box with a ceiling rose or a luminaire coupler for the electrickery.

I've never seen a ceiling rose that didn't have terminals (usually only 2 though) in my Box Of Useful Bits No Longer Compliant (along wiht my coveted genuine ceramic Scruit(TM) wire nuts).
