They should really go in an enclosure, its like using plastic connectors
rather than a proper joint box, the  inner sheath of the cables should not
be exposed outside of an enclosure.
And don't just chuck it up there, take pride in your work boy, screw the
enclosure to a timber and keep it above the insulation or it will overheat,
try and put it near the trap or so you can get at it when the fuse blows,
you don't want to be grovelling around up there in your PJs when the bulb
goes on the way to bed.
