Class 2 metal fitting

[Deleted member 26818]

That page lists them as Class 1.

You need to know the construction of the conductor, the insulation may be reinforced.

It's double insulated the sign says so, so end of controversy.

You can see the sheathing at the top hole, even looks like a bit of heat shrink on the end.

Might be designed as double insulated, but it hasn’t been constructed as such.
I would expect a sheath for the wires in the bottom hole even if it wasn’t double insulated.
That spiral tube stuff always falls apart.

It is odd one pair is sleeved but the other is not but it may not be relevant if the conductors have reinforced insulation. Needless to say the claim for double insulation is somewhat tenuous.

Class II by design.... but how many of those little plastic boxes have been discarded and choc block replaced with Wago's.

That page lists them as Class 1.

And yet the manufacturers Tech information lists them as class 2;
96479 / PASTERI / Interior Lighting / Main Collections / Products - EGLO Lights International - https://www.eglo.com/international/Products/Main-Collections/Interior-Lighting/PASTERI/96479

But on the same site the Downloads /Data sheet info, second page, says class 1;

I am going to put a crimp on the earth, and screw it to the mounting plate that gets attached to the wall. At the very least then it has a connection to earth allbe it a small one.

 

[buzzlightyear]

Just the block connector renders that Class I.

all the op could do is earth the back plating that is on with ring crimp ,but if he takes it off at some time the front light fitting will not be earthed .

Sometimes the individual brown and blue have a clear (not always obvious) sheath making them double insulated and therefore Class 2 (As long as the connector is within its own insulated enclosure).
