New bathroom fitting

[jabberwocki]

Purchased a new light fitting for small en suite containing shower toilet and handbasin. New fitting suitable for zone 2 although it is out of zone 2 on the ceiling. As you can see in the picture current fitting is a downhanger and shade with live and neutral attached and no earth. I assume this is totally against regulations.

Am I ok attaching the earth on the new fitting to the earth in the rose and am I allowed under part P. Do not want to break any rules although I am a compotent diyer I usually leave the electric to a pro. As a matter of interest would the existing downhanger have beeen a major hazard as I cannot understand why it was done this way. The en suite was only put in a couple of years ago and the previous owner was a bulder !

Any advice greatfully received.
THANKS

You can replace electrical fittings, can't see a picture so can not refer to that, but I suggest connecting the earths up.

Picture available if you click my usernam I think. Assume I just connect to the earth connection at the top of the picture. Thanks PrenticeBoyofDerry

Yep that looks okay, just connect an earth across the fitting's earth terminal to the ceiling rose's earth terminal.
The reason why there is not one there now, is that fitting is allowed not to have one.
Most plastic and double insulated fitting don't require an earth connection.
