I'd be grateful for advice before I call an electrician in, as I'm not sure I need to. I started replacing the floorboards in one of my bedrooms, giving me a birdseye view of the downlights in the kitchen below, which were in place when I moved win and probably around 2 years old.
I noticed the earths are just tucked up and unprotected on each lamp connector and there's no interconnection of earths between the lamps. There's earth back to the switch and that's it as far as I can see. I may well be wrong, but I thought you always needed continuity of earth and that would mean lamp-to-lamp-to-lamp....etc.
So, could someone please tell me:
1. Am i right?
2. What risk does this pose (out of interest)
3. What's the solution...is it merely to make the earth continuous by connecting them?
Thanks
