You may be interested in viewing this. It is more a safety issue than a "SCAM". But he make some good points that DIYers should be aware of.

He raises particular concerns about no earth connection, but does not reveal if the fitting is marked as double insulated.

John Ward makes some excellent videos. Not only are they un-biased and informative they are also, due to John's style of presentation, very entertaining.

I agree, but this is not one of John Ward's productions.
It is from a "BigClive"

I am having a bad day., cannot even read the name of the person who posted the video on Youtube......... Dropped a tea cup on stone floor, it broke annoying as it was still full of tea... at least the floor got a wash....

Not a day to take on any jobs......

'BigClive' is from my former world - The Entertainment Business.

He is a well respected contributor on the 'Blueroom forum' and an active gigging sparks in his native Scotland.

I'm happy to vouch for his credentials......

I was talking to a radio ham friend who was using some LED's and he also under drove the LED mainly so it would run cooler.

The unit seemed to be well made really it was only the earth wire questionable. As said if the driver is class II then not really required but then why use three core cable?
