dear all,
I need to wire in a replacement switched metal BC lamp holder for a table lamp. The lamp stand is metal and needs to be earthed. The lamp holder has a small hole inside with a screw and this is for the earth wire presumably. The other wires screw into terminals on the plastic part of the fitting, which also has a terminal for an earth wire. So the question is, does the earth wire screw into the metal part of the fitting only, the plastic terminal only or somehow screws into both the metal holder and the plastic part of the fitting. I attach pictures to help.
Thank you in advance for your help.
