I need to put an inline 3-pole plug & socket on a pendant light to make it simple to remove. IEC types are much too bulky (especially for SWMBO). Any suggestions?
Inline 3-pole plug & socket?

PS. Doesn't need to lock, weight taken by chain.
You can get ceiling roses that plugin, leaving a safe fitting on the ceiling and are designed to take the weight etc.
For example:

Klik lighting 6 Amp plug-in ceiling roses

This might be suitable if the cable is long enough

Again sorry. I thought this would imply that I can't use a different rose, it's a special with a hook.
Ignore my last, this has a hook, looks ideal. Thanks.
Smallest are probably LNE types - similar to audio XLR connectors, but designed for mains. They latch so will also take the weight, using a suitable cable. Not cheap, though.
Ah. ;-)
ISTR that these aren't permitted for domestic use.
They are nice connectors though!
