My Mrs recently bought a modern chandelier from Amazon. It turns out to be
German (I think). The problem is that when I shortened the supply lead all three wires are encased in a clear plastic. The original terminated in properly identified blocks but it's impossible to tell which was which now the wire us shortened. I might be imagining it but I think one of the wires has a greenish hue. Is there any safe way to tell if I'm connecting earth to earth? My existing ceiling rose is part if a standard ring, i.e has a loop through etc. What's the worse thing that can happen?
