Having painfully spent a number of hours finally getting my new spot light into the ceiling (see //www.diynot.com/forums/electrics/new-ceiling-spot-not-enuf-wire-holes.323701/#2397859), although the light works (and so does thankfully everything else in the house), I am a little concerned because I was unable to wire it all up fully.
This was so finicky i nearly threw the towel in a number of times. How the hell this was supposed to be possible with a ceiling rose i dont know, this is the product from B&Q http://www.diy.com/nav/decor/lighti...otlights/Dizzo-2-Light-Bar-Spotlight-11027606. You need child's fingers and the patience of a saint. 4 earths into one hole, with 3 wires in the next door hole and 2 in the other, + 3 loops...all in the working space of a square inch!?!?
Anyway, i had to free the plastic wire fitting from the light itself - this was attached to a small metal rod going into the earth hole on the lamp side.
I havent been able to get that rod back into the hole when screwing the main unit in, which means it isnt earthed right? Does this pose a risk, can we live with it?
