I'm trying to install a new light fitting and my earth wire is not long enough to reach the terminal connector block attached to the light fitting - the live and neutral are fine.
A metal bracket is screwed into the ceiling which holds the light up (the light is a metal gu10 spotlight type)
I've looked at YouTube videos and some indicate that I might be able to earth the light by connecting the earth to the metal bracket - is that correct?
If so, how safe is it?!
If not does anyone know a solution to the short wire problem?!
Thanks
