I've just bought some lovely new spotlights, but they require an earth. When I removed the existing cover on the ceiling rose, I only have a red and black wire, but no earth. The house was built in 1955 and the wiring looks to me to be in good condition.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what I could do? I was thinking of taking up the floorboards above and running an earth cable from a radiator pipe?
What would be the simplest option? (apart from taking the lights back to the shop I guess!)
Thanks in advance.
