Fitting metal pendant light advice needed

[StevieJames01]

Hi. I'm putting a new ceiling light in and wanted some advice.

I've got a single core with 3 wires. Red, Black and a bare copper earth. I've purchased some sleeving to cover the earth wire after reading somewhere that I should



The lighting rose has an earth wire running from the core

My questions -

1 - does the earth wire in the rose attach to the ceiling fixture? There is a screw so I assume it's just screwed underneath?

2 - the screw to attach the earth on the terminal block was broken so I've attached the earth to a separate terminal block (see pics) - is that okay?

3 - I've noticed when I turned off the ceiling lights circuit on the trip board, it's also turned off my cooker. Should they both be attached to the same circuit? Is it something I should get an electrician in for?

I've attached pics

The job is mostly done, just waiting on some reassurance before i finish. It's the first time I've done a ceiling light.

Many thanks!

Single cable with three cores or wires.

No, no need. It will be attached when you screw on the rose (not that you will then be able to touch it).

2 - the screw to attach the earth on the terminal block was broken so I've attached the earth to a separate terminal block (see pics) - is that okay?

Yes.
Or you could have put both wires in the same end with the good screw.

3 - I've noticed when I turned off the ceiling lights circuit on the trip board, it's also turned off my cooker. Should they both be attached to the same circuit? Is it something I should get an electrician in for?

They wouldn't normally be on the same circuit. Are you sure?

Perhaps you tripped an RCD when working - touching neutral to earth wire will do this.

Had anything else switched off?

I checked and you were right, looks like the cooker had tripped.

Everything is working! Thank you
