Default Question about lighting
So would you intall a luminaire in a domestic circuit with a 6a breaker if it was enclosed in a brass or bronze outer casing and there was no earth conection to the metal. Or would it be better to relace the wire with a wire that has an earth in it and make your own earth termination?

I would say if it is not classed as double insulated on manufacturers label. Fit an earth, secondly guidance on lighting circuits without cpc states no metal fittings.
