Hi,
Quick, and hopefully very simple question.
Have recently had house rewired and electricion put white plastic lights sockets and light swithes on.
Have just bought metal ones to replace and wanted to check my understanding before going ahaend.
Currently, the light switch has a live and neutral wire, and the back box is earthed. Do i need to get a new earth cable from the back box in to the metal light switch as it states it has to be earthed. Will the screwed connection on the back box be sufficients?
With regards to the sockets, current set up has the earthe from one of the cables going to the back box. The other cable is going to the plastic socket, with a piece of cable going from the back box into the same earth terminal on the socket.
The new metal sockets i have, actually have two earth places rather than the existing one. With the existing set up (described above) be sufficient or will both need to be earthed (and would that be by another piece of cable from the back box to the spare eather terminal of the socket ?
Thanks
