Would it be handy if just changed ho a socket outlet

you sure grey is the earth, convention these days is black earth and grey neutral however in the early days either way was often used edit just see pics and some are different

Looks like it may be an Ansell self test, he may wake up one day and find its a red led

Sometimes a fault on the wiring does not trip an rcd till something with a high load is used like a washing machine, so do not assume the washing machines the issue

if there srorage heaers a 20a double pole switch is more likely

Try in a different socket, sometimes if the earths poor they wont reset

Led rope is another option

I always thought the 2 wire units were called magnetic chokes as they only limited the current to the lamp, ie choked the current. Anything with more wires were ballasts

The common size for lghting is 10mm x 1mm pitch, google that and add hollow lighting rod, not many sellers sell longer than 1 metre lengths

It was more to show the style, I personally think battens look to commercial. Have you considered dali dimmable, and set it to your requirements

The 6ft twins have two long led strips within hence the high wattage and brightness , the single version is likely 30 watt, though as you say still considerably higher wattage than your existing

Rather than 5fts that look like old style fittings consider wider thinner led panels, with the drivers tucked behind them

Looks like metal kopex (brand name), googling that brings up cheaper alternatives

Is there a reason for not wanting black cores
