Metal ceiling earth

[MickyP10]

I've some hall lights to fit, with live and neutral only. They don't indicate they're double insulated. Should I connect an eyelight on the existing earth (which is blanked off in the old plastic bayonet terminal block) and attach to the new metal bayonet's ceiling fitting screw? Or just blank it off as before?

TIA

Well - if they are NOT class 2 then they must be earthed.

A bit worrying that they don’t say if they are class 2

Nothing on the box or instructions?

What does the connection block look like? Is it in an enclosure?
Does the light fitting have single insulated unsheathed wires? Or are they insulated and sheathed?

Nothing. Quite surprised really. Wifey's bought three of them!

Just two core cable from the bulb fitting which can be cut to suit the 'drop' of the lamp.

Isn't Class I the 'default' - i.e. if an item does not bear Class II markings, it has to be assumed to be Class I ?

I don't expect to see items bearing a marking which means "not Class II", do you ?

Can we have a picture?

Do I take it that it came with that 2-core cable connected to it?

Are there no markings (symbols or words)anywhere on the fitting? If they are,could we see a photo of them?

Yes, cable's wired to light fitting and no markings anywhere.

Hmmm. The fitted 2-core cable implies (should mean !) that it is Class II - but if it were, it would/should bear a Class II symbol.

Where did it come from?

Amazon. I understand that they must be a bit naff, which you don't find out until you get them (and have disposed of the packaging the day before on the tip run!), so I'm just trying to make the best job of it. They're not replying to messages either...

I imagine that most of us have been there

Is the Amazon listing still there for you to look at and, if so, does it say anything useful? Could you share a link to it for us?
