    Hello guys,

    Forgive me if this has been asked before. My new light is double Insulated and instructions say DON'T add earth cable. What I want to know is what shall I do with the existing earth cable. I was considering just wrapping it in insulating cable and leave it in the light. Would that be OK?

    Or put some green / yellow sleeve over it and bend it double to stop the sleeve slipping off.
