Have an IKEA wall light shaped like a dressing room light with multiple bulbs. It's both attractive and effective but it does have some metal in the casing and there is no earth terminal.
I can't imangine its double insulated owing to the cost.
Should I drill the casing and create a terminal which I can connect to?

At the end of the day, just use it. If its brand new, from Ikea and didnt come with an earth it will be double insulated. Did you read the instructions??

Cost has little to do with it

Thanks everyone for all the responses - there is a square within a square printed on the end so I think that means double insulation doesn't it?
Just to cover the other points made it is mains voltage and I know I would have twigged if instructions had mentioned a missing earth connection.
Thanks again for constructive help.
 
The square within a square states the fitting is double insulated.

You absolutely must not
drill the casing and create a terminal which I can connect to
.

That action could well create a hazard.
