I am a novice with electrics. I thought this job would be easy as it is replacing one fitted ceiling light with another, however there is an extra earth wire. Do I need to connect this?
The first pic show the ceiling wires with the existing light fitting.
The second pic shows me holding the new light fitting.
The new light has a seperate earth wire which goes into the single earth box like the original shown in picture 1.
It also has a brown live wire which I can see would go where the existing brown goes into the second multiple junction box.
It has a blue neutral wire which will go where the existing blue goes into the multiple junction box.
There is an earth wire which the original DOES NOT have. What do I do with this wire?
Do I just leave this UNCONNECTED? Please help!
Many thanks
