Discuss Bought ceiling light online which wire is which? in the Lighting Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

What we don't see is any provision for connecting a CPC (earth), or any indication that an earth is not required (class 2 symbol).
Connecting this fitting without an earth could be potentially dangerous.
I would suggest you get an electrician to test it and, if it is suitable, to fit it while he is there.
 
The Class 2 symbol is printed on the driver. The cables "may" be double insulated, but it's not possible to tell from the pic
True but i bet the connection won’t be double insulated.

surely the fitting can’t be classed as double insulated unless there is provision for a double insulated joint.

in my opinion this light is not fit for purpose.

Like so many fashion lights, all fur coat and no knickers.
 
The double insulated symbol is for the driver only the fitting should have a plate stating its construction and other info.
