Bathroom downlights without earth, replacements?

robodelfy · 29 Oct 2020

I have these GU10 downlights in my bathroom, but they have no earth, also there appears to be nothing sealing them around the bezel or above to stop moisture going up. They seem very old, I'm guessing not even rated for a bathroom.

Can I still get replacements that don't need an earth? And anything that seals against the sealing? What rating do you need for a bathroom

Any advice would be great

They are also not wired safely. The earth wires in the cables have been snipped off, they should be joined together. Also connectors like that are not permitted in the ceiling void. You must use junction boxes.
