[QUOTE="kme, post: 3399, member: 113"] Ivory: No offence intended m8, but you need a sparx in. The fitting has an earth connection for a good reason. If you haven`t got an earth, chances are your house wiring won`t be up to scratch. I would STRONGLY suggest having a periodic inspection of the wiring done. The other thing which concerns me here is that you "flipped" the fuse. This suggests a fairly new consumer unit; yet your wiring to your lights appears unearthed. With a class 1 fitting (exposed metal), the installer should have picked that up when the CU was installed. I`m sorry this isn`t more helpful, but IMHO you NEED to get your wiring checked professionally. KME [/QUOTE]
