Sitting here looking at another expensive cheap fitting and wondering if it is ok. Piece of flex cable 2core with metal dome at the top to cover connections. Earth from metal dome to block connector where you connect in coming cable. Plastic lamp holder with plastic “sleeve nut” where cable passes to holder connections. But then there is a metal lamp shade over all of this that is not earthed. Is it exempted from having a earth because all the parts that can come in contact with the cables is plastic ? Reason for asking is that all of them has melted the holders inside due to 60w incandescent lamps being used and the fitting is only rated for 40w and I need to see if I can fix them for the customer as he cant get replacements. I have also installed led lamps in all the rest to stop them melting/burning.
