My lighting circuits are run in red/black cabling - i.e. no earth wire.
All the ceiling roses and bulb holders are in plastic/bakelite so presumably meet the regulations in force at the time of installation.
My daughter has brought home a mini-chandelier light unit which she wants me to install in her bedroom but is of all-metal construction including the ceiling rose, which item has a three way terminal block coded brown blue and earth.
Could anyone advise me if it is possible to use this light fitting by running an earth wire to a convenient earthing point in the building and what that point is likely to be? (for example there is a rising cold main pipe to the storage tank just above the room.
Thank you,
