Copper Pipe Lamp Earthing

Do you mean the thread that is secured by the bolt? see video in my original post.

No the threaded part fits to a small bridge section, this then attaches the lamp holder. There is a hole in one side of the bridge and this is almost certainly where the earth goes.

ah yes I have seen this. So would i solder the earth to that and then would i need to solder earth to the copper too to ensure that is grounded?

No you won't be able to solder to that bridge section. If it is threaded it needs a screw and no earth is required to the pipework as the lamp holder will earth it. The earth connection to the bridge section should not be a screw and nut it needs a thread.

Thanks. Food for thought. I'll try and get a good understanding of that and reply if i'm stuck cheers.
