Hi,
I might have been a bit too thorough when stripping the cables. In any case, now I probably have about 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) of cable sticking out of the thermal insulation. How can I extend them or have an electrician extend them?

Remove the thermal insulation around the cable to a depth of about 10cm (4 inches), then strip the cable, connect Wago connectors, attach a new cable section (50cm (20 inches)), and replace or foam the thermal insulation.
If done properly, everything will be hidden behind the lamp bracket and won’t be visible.

If you do it well, everything will be hidden behind the lamp fixture and won’t be visible. I would then put it inside a small waterproof junction box. That should keep you on the safe side.
