I'm putting in a light fitting and on the fitting there is no earth wire connected from the connector block to the actual fitting. The sticker on the fitting shows an earth symbol. Do I simply attach a short earth wire from the connector block to the fitting itself? The wire coming out of the...

I got round to putting the lights into insulated enclosures and have hit a few problems. Out of the 8 lights 5 were okay to go into the enclosures... On two of them they were wired the wrong way around and both have red tape wrapped around the wire (on the left one you can see a symbol/letter...

Thanks. I put a tube in and it worked (both lights came on). But then changed over the neutral/live wires on the fitting to how it should be.

Thanks everyone for your help. I'll run an earth from the fuse to the switch :) Also in the loft I have 2 light fittings, one is a lamp (working) and the other is a fluorescent tube fitting (currently no light in it so don't know if it works - but the 2 outgoing wires are live as tested it with...

Currently the kitchen has 8 spot lights with bulbs varying from 28/40w (2700k - 140lms) and gives off a very yellow/dull light. Easiest thing to do is to replace the bulbs with 5w LED's (cool white) and go from consuming 270w+ to 40w and at the same time making it much brighter.

Would an earth connection at the FCU be needed from the 8 x Kitchen Lights which are all Class 11? One thing I'm unsure of is that the 2nd switch going to the ceiling lights in the rear extension, connects up to a light fitting which is NOT Class 11 and has an earth connection (from the fitting...

Would this also be okay to use instead of the Deboxes? I'd imagine these would be easier to install.

Do the same rules apply, in regards to having the wires/terminal block in an enclosure, for flush wall/ceiling mounted light fittings? And if so, what kind of enclosure would I need? As it would have to be about 1/4 of the size of the Deboxes in-order to fit between the light fitting and...

Thank you for that. I'm going to stick with Option A and keep the current Class 11 light fittings. I'll just change the 28w/40w bulbs to 5w LED bulbs and ensure that all wires are enclosed in an enclosure. Would the following enclosure be sufficent...

There is nothing printed on the actual light fitting but there is a symbol showing a box inside a box. 1.) Does this confirm that this is a Class 11 Double Insulated fitting which does not require an earth? 2.) OPTION A: If I leave the current light fittings as they are (currently have...

Hope someone knowledgeable can help. I recently purchased a property and am in the process of changing the ceiling lights throughout the house. However I found that the kitchen downlight fitting (8 in total) are not connected to an earth (just live and neutral) and the earth wire has been cut...
