Lamp wiring help please

[Romily]

Hi,
I have been asked to make some of these marquee lights for a friends bar- I've put up a picture.


The frames are made of mdf, some of them will have aluminium edges like the H pictured
They take e14 240v incandescent bulbs at the moment
They are wired with 2 core wire push in plastic lamp holders that the fairground industry use to wire their fairground sign lights
They Have a ce approved 3amp 2 core plug with a rotary switch


My question is how do I make these safe and fit with regulation at 240v?


If I double insulate the wiring between the lamp holders will they be safe?
For the ones with aluminium edges do I have to use 3 core and earth the edges?


Or do I have to use a transformer to take the voltage down to 24vand buy some lower voltage bulbs?


I am planning to get them pat tested before they go in the bar but want to make sure I'm building them right first.


Thanks for your help,
Alice

lamps like these were often placed above everyones reach so they may have been wired differently.
draw out your wiring plan including the core colors and have a spark look them over before wiring it.
although i would probably use lower voltage lamps and transformers myself

Watts = Heat. Lots of lamps in an enclosed space could cause problems. Gnuuser's suggestion is a good one or even LED's.
