Hi! I’ve bought new pendant lamps (see pic 1and 2) and was replacing them when I realised they don’t have an earth wire terminal (but the wiring in the ceiling does) - see pic 3.

The light doesn’t say it’s double insulated (it doesn’t have the symbol) - how can I tell otherwise?

If it is, do I just add a terminal block to the additional earthing wire?

Thoughts greatly appreciated!

I wonder how many of these lights have been installed in a less than satisfactory way because the person fitting it didn't have an understanding of earthing/double insulation.
My cruet set is these light bulb ones :)
