What to do with the additional earthing wire

[Sassa]

Hi! I’ve bought new pendant lamps (see pic 1and 2) and was replacing them when I realised they don’t have an earth wire terminal (but the wiring in the ceiling does) - see pic 3.

The light doesn’t say it’s double insulated (it doesn’t have the symbol) - how can I tell otherwise?

If it is, do I just add a terminal block to the additional earthing wire?

Thoughts greatly appreciated!

If the earth isn't needed then it can be put into a separate terminal block.

However if the top part of that light fitting is metal, then the light fitting cannot possibly be double insulated / class II unless that terminal block is completely enclosed in something, such as a plastic box.

It's not a "vintage" Class Zero luminaire, is it?

Is the light fixed to the ceiling on a metal bracket and the fitting is fixed to the bracket with a couple of metal screws? If the base is metal I'd get some flex, strip it and get the earth from it. I would stick the earth at the pendant on a connector and the earth from the flex into the other end of the connector then wrap the other end of the single earth from the flex around the screw you've screwed the bracket to the ceiling with. Gives you an earth when the fitting is screwed up just to be on the safe side. You can use any earth cable but with flex being multi core it's easier to wrap around the screw

It’s a HK living pendant lamp. Thanks for the above! I’ll let you know how it goes.

What does the rest of the silver label on the side of the lamp holder say?
