    UK Why is there no ground connection in the ceiling light I bought?

    I haven't installed it, don't worry. I bougt this ceiling light that came with a metal housing and no ceiling rose. The only thing in there was this plastic junction box for the L/N wires. Means I'll have to use some Wago connectors to make up for the ceiling rose. But what about ground?
