[QUOTE="Steve4939, post: 449303, member: 29237"] I've just about to replace a standard light pendant with a new (fancier and metal one) and noticed that the new fitting has no earth connector. I [I]think [/I]it doesn't need one as the Live and Neutral wires are double insulated (within rubber sleeves and in a plastic connector box). If that's the case do I just tape up the earth wire and leave it in the ceiling ? This is probably a daft question but I want to make sure I do the right thing ! [/QUOTE]
