[QUOTE="TC-Electric, post: 401775, member: 26760"] hi guys than you for your replies I appreciate it I had a reply from the Vendor of the lamp holder and he said: [COLOR=rgb(0,0,0)]1. The holder itself is plastic, this is the reason the earth wire option is not added to it, if it was made from full metal it would then be earthed.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0,0,0)]2. The wire just clips on each side through the metal hole[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(0,0,0)]I replied to him again with the photos as he may have missed the fact my cable has an earth cable. and point 2 in his reply doesn't specify with side meal hole[/COLOR] [SIZE=12px]Thank you Steptoe, yes I was aware the Live wire has to connect [/SIZE][COLOR=rgb(40,40,40)]into the orifice that corresponds to the middle contact on the lamp, but thank you anyway.[/COLOR] NozSpark: This photo shows all the markings I can see on the inner plastic holder (the metal outer part has no markings) [IMG]http://twirlnet.com/images/LampHolder_Markings.jpg[/IMG] These next two photos show what it looks like built, I hope it is double insulated so I can simply put electric tape on the Earth and leave it hanging in there somewhere? [IMG]http://twirlnet.com/images/LH_Assembly_1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://twirlnet.com/images/LH_Assembly_2.jpg[/IMG] The 3Core wire from the actual statue-lamp is inside a metal tube which connects to the lamp holder (First photo in my initial thread). Maybe I need a lamp holder with Earth connection because this Metal Tube on the Statue? Thank you guys for your help [/QUOTE]
