Other Quick light question

IKEA light fittings are coming and, as is quite normal for them, they only have live and neutral connections.

Now, the spare earth. I don't fancy just whacking electrical tape on it and tucking it away so am I right in thinking I can just wire it into a small 5A terminal (such as https://www.toolstation.com/connector-strip/p88321 ) and hide that in the mounting?

Certainly not going to cut it off.

Ta muchly.

 

You sure there isn't an earth post or terminal somewhere in the light fitting? Is it made of plastic or metal?

 

Double insulated. IKEA often make them like it with only live & neutral.

Plastic housing afaik, perhaps I should ask after I have them in hand this week

E: Plus if just wiring into a single terminal block 5A or 6A? I've seen both recommended. Ta.

 

Stick a wago 221 (or push wire) on it and tuck it out the way. Sorted.

 

Any old termial will do that's insulated really.

 

Cool, thanks all

 

Yeah a wago connector will do fine. I've got a couple lying around i can send you if you don't have any.

 

That's very kind.

I may just PM you in the near future. I think they're coming this week but I'm also dealing with a very poorly cat at the moment so I'm not sure when anything's happening.

 

Just tuck the earth out of the way, zero harm

 

I mean I know I could but knowing it's not locked off will bug me more than it should

 

Just a quick thanks to @Nealieboyee who kindly sent some wagos my way that will do the job just fine.

This site continually uplifts me in many ways.
