Class 2 metal fitting

[ThrownRazor25]

Bought 2 metal wall lights arrived today and just opened them.

They are completely metal in construction states on the fitting they are class 2 and have no earth connection.

The cables leaving the chocbox inside to the lampholder are single cores.

How can this be class 2?

How class 2 buzz?

 

[telectrix]

loks like class II. if it says beans on the tin, it's usually got beans inside the tin.

 

[ThrownRazor25]

But if its metal surely it wd need an earth connection?

That cable going up the hole at the top, looks sheathed to me.
What does the bottom hole lead to?

 

[ThrownRazor25]

The top hole leads to the lamp the bottom to one of those twisty spiral bedside lamps you get in hotel rooms.

Yeah it is sheathed at the top but not the bottom and neither are the brown and blue you can see.

I've seen fittings like this before. The wedge shaped spotlights for under kitchen units. Marked as Class II, but wholly metallic. One loose cable and you've got a live metal block, easily touchable.
Cannot be classII unless the connection is made within a plastic box, within the metal fitting.

Just the block connector renders that Class I.

 

[ThrownRazor25]

I totally agree littlespark

The wires in the flexi tube should be sheathed.

Connector block inside a plastic box is ok.
