I have bought a metal indoor lantern pendant light, with three core flex, supplied with an extra piece of earth flex with a ring connector. The pendant light I am replacing is plastic. No problem connecting the live and neutral wires to the ceiling rose (they go where the old ones were). But I am not sure where the earth goes, either from the new lamp flex, or the extra piece of flex supplied.
The existing plastic ceiling rose has a bare earth wire neatly connected up to the earth terminal in the rose. Does this help?
I intended to leave the transparent plastic rose fitting in place as it is fixed to the ceiling with two screws that will line up nicely with holes in my new metal rose, if I use longer screws, from which I can suspend the hook for the new light fitting.
Can someone explain to me how to earth this light fitting?
