Hello I bought 2 new wooden wall lights to replace previously fitted brass versions. They are mainly made of wood with a small metal cup where the bulb sits. The wall is wired with an earth wire but the product doesnt have an earth to connect it to. Should it have an earth wire as the metal...

OK. Will try to do that. I'm assuming that'll be in the cupboard where the combi boiler is? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys

Thanks for your views. How do I check if it's still connected at the FCU? What's an FCU please? I want to stay safe
