    hi,

    I have a bathroom cabinet with integral light assy to connect. The cabinet has 3 core cable, the previous light with shaver socket only used twin core and that’s what’s coming out of the wall for my new one ( live & neutral, with an uninsulated copper wire in the conduit)

    How do I get the cabinets earth wire connected?


    thanks

    The uninsulated copper wire is probably the earth, PVC coated live/neutral and uninsulated earth was the norm in the past.

    However, it is also pretty common to have no earth on lighting circuits in older houses anyway.
