MR16 Halogen spotlight to GU10 LED conversion

[lhalferty]

Hello, I have a quick question about converting MR16 Halogen to GU10 LED. I bought the gU10 lampholders and have removed the MR16 bulbs and transformer. Then I wired the GU10 directly to the mains. Mt question is, is this safe? There appears to be an earth wire in the mains Junction box. Is this enough. Many Thanks in advance. Liam.

if the downlight fitting has an earth terminal, then connect the cpc (earth wire) to that. if not, just leave it terminated in the junction box.

Just to add to the advice above, assuming the lights are connected to each other, you need to make sure the earth (cpc) is continuous..  I see so many where the earths are not connected together.
