Hi
I've just bought a new ceiling light for the bathroom which does not need an earth connection. Unhelpfully, the light fitting makes no provision to safely terminate the earth wire coming from the electrics; see pic:

This leaves me with the dilemma of what to do with the earth wire coming out of the ceiling.
I do have a terminator from another old light fitting here:

However, I'm not sure if this should be used. It's clearly meant to be screwed into the light fitting to keep it safe and secure but I can't screw this into my new plastic light fitting.
Any advice - could I use this terminator or should I buy something else? And what should I do to make the terminator secure - can I just leave it sitting next to the live and neutral connection?
Thanks
