[QUOTE="martd77, post: 73346, member: 5458"] hi my first post on here,im not an electrician in any way just after some tips or advice if all possible Im wanting to change the ceiling lights in the kitchen and the front room,having taken the fuse out of the main box removed the 2 lights,a 3bar spotlight and a 3 light uplighter,then checked with electrical screwdriver to ensure the wires not live,i proceeded to do the new fit. However my wiring is twin with no earth and both new light fittings have a place for an earth? Lived here near 10yr and not had any lighting problems but is this dangerous not to have an earth wire connected? Other than rewiring is there another solution? thanks help much appreciated [/QUOTE]
