I would run an earth ( CPC ) wire in case you ever decide to change the lamps for something that doe need an earth. Also an effective CPC in the cable will provide some protection in the event of cable damage.
So, yoiu do not need to earth teh fitting itself. But the cable has a bare wire in the middle. This is called the Circuit Protective Conductor (CPC)
This must be earthed at the source end and be continued thorugh all of the interlink cables so you also have an earth at the final light.
This is a safety facility and is there so that any fault will cause the circuit protection device to operate. You will, of course, need an earth at the far end when you do your post installation testing. How would you determine the EFLI unless there were an earth present?
