Hi all
DIY-er here I have this lamp. It's old. Early 20th century I think... I need to rewire it and put in a new bulb socket if I want to use it AND keep my house safe!
Obviously currently there's no earth. But it being metal and me being in the UK I need advice on how to rewire this. Does it need earthing, does it need shielding of some kind between the socket and body? Is this a DIY project or should I pay a professional!?
Thanks in advance!

- TL;DR
- Should I do this myself or get a pro?
