    Hi


    Just enquiring about an outdoor sensor light i bought, i removed old sensor light, and went to reinstall the new one, but noticed there is no ground connection in the new one, just the electric strip with red brown and blue wires.

    So just wondering, the cable coming from the house has a brown blue and ground wire, so where do i actually connect the ground wire to? It says on the leaflet that must be grounded, but i cant find any ground connection inside the new light or green screw etc


    The light itself is a plastic 20w poly bulkhead, so maybe doesnt need grounded seeing its plastic?
