how to attach ground wire - turkish wall lamp

[Salik]

Wife bought a few of these turkish wall lamps. Been looking at how to mount them

Going to use screws with a washer to hold the lamp to the wall. As typical with turkish stuff, no ground wire.
There really is no place to put in a screw anywhere so I was thinking of using a loop with crimp (see pics)
but am having a hard time finding these things.

The bolt there is about 10mm outside diameter and wire is ~1.5-2mm. Anyone know where I can get such things.

Drill small hole and fit nut and bolt and crimp a spade connector or similar, then fix. Use a second nut to prevent it loosening over time

I know Turkey has a lot of overhead cables, and they do have problems with the supply, but am sure when I went there they had earths, it was even more important than here to have a good earth.

Seems to be a class II fitting, and that nut and spring washer looks rotten, so I would be looking to see if a three core cable can be threaded to the lamp holder and use a lamp holder with an earth connection.

You get proper lighting ones designed for that.
Google
"ebay 10mm earth tag"
you can get ones with a screw terminal or ones with a soldered flylead which is sometimes better.
They clamp iunder the nut holding the arm on.

This sort of thing available everywhere, all electrical whole salers, DIY stores, Ebay, car accessory shops sell them in packs of a few.

Can you change the lamp holder and put in 3 core? Lampspares.co.uk do a good range.

Thanks. I found those. Look very good.
Should be able to make the wife smile now.

Definitely looks like it was designed to be class 2 to me.
