Right i recently fitted a new bedroom light for my brother inside which it says it must be earthed and there is a small earth wire inside connected to the casing of the light and an empty conduit for an earth wire from the house to connect to it. Unfortunately my house still has the same wiring it was built with in the 60's and has no earth cabling.
I read a thread from here saying that an earth cable can be run from a socket on the room to the light but would like to clarify i understand it properly.
I buy an earth wire from somewhere and connect it to the metal casing on a socket or switch and then run that to the light and put that in the conduit?
Help appreciated thanks,
Sean
