Hi,
I'm Rich I'm 39 and currently unemployed. I am a good ish DIYer and have basic knowledge of wiring. Love building things out of wood.
I have been tasked with making a simple 4 bulb plug in lamp for my wife's 'art' project. I need wiring and safety help.
It will basically be 4 23w bulbs in batten lamp holders, in a row, attached to a board, wired in parallel with a 3A plug attached.
Was planning to use lamp holders like this. Loop-In Batten Lamp Holder - https://goo.gl/SVwkki.
My question(s) are..
1. I was confident these would not need to be earthed as they are plastic fittings. Is this correct?
2. Can I just wire each lamp holder to the next by twisting and connecting the wires? Will be wiring in parallel.
I'm sure I have got some wording wrong and I apologise. Please help.
