Hi everyone ok I am a bit confused here.
First of all I am far from a qualified sparky but I have changed many light fittings switches sockets etc in the past with no problem I feel confident doing it.
Recently I purchased some new light switches and sockets to go with the room I have just done but their metal.
In the instructions it says they have to be earthed which is obvious but it also says to run the earth wire from the casing in the wall to the switch then from the switch earth point use another wire to connect to the earth point on the casing.
After watching and reading a few things people say to leave the earth in the casing and run another earth from the switch to the casing.
Which is correct?
