What type are you looking for..? The type I use most often are these, but I know they're not common your side of the water.

I have found these on the UK eBay that should do the job.   We'll be ordering a load as soon as the finances recover from buying lots of lovely SOX lamps

I've looked at the WAGO connectors, and I can't see any way of fastening them to a lamp board permanently which is what we need.  So we will stick with traditional choc blocs.
