Identifying wires on chandelier fitting

[mwatsonxx]

Andy, I'm pretty sure that's not the chandelier the op bought.

There is also an earth wire up inside of the fitting, which has also been cut

so it has been butchered then!

so I don't think the wire with the green stripe is earth.

It is not unusual to have a supplementary earth, so I think t could still be an earth

I do have a continuity meter but was hoping there might have been a wiring colour convention I wasn't aware of that would make it easier!

Does not matter about any wiring conventions, testing will identify what the conductors are functioning as.

The lampholders are the small screw-in type, 40W max.

So that makes it especially important that the conductors are correctly identified.

If you don't know that green (or green/yellow) is earth you should NOT be messing around with electrics.

BAN was quite right.
