    I've already tried that twice. I've even took one back to the wholesalers and replaced it with another, thinking it was a faulty light.

    Terminating 16mm earth

    Theres currently a 6mm earthing conductor coming from the MET at the head of the TN-C-S. I've upgraded the main earth in the CU to 16mm and both bonding conductors to 10mm. Therefore i would have to upgrade the earth conductor at the head of the TN-C-S to 16mm too. Correct me if i'm wrong. Thanks.

    Main bonding to water pipe.

    I am not sure whether there is any bonding to the pipe behind the wall but the other two water pipes have been cross bonded with 4mm. The nearest place i could put new 10mm would be on either of the two water pipes to the left of the stop cock. I can't see what else to do.
