I recieved Culina track lighting today and don't feel it is safe to install. I have shown the manufacturers instructions with a detail from the page which seems to only refer to the track lighting. Not the light fittings that I ordered. As you can see from pics the bulb holder is floating around in the fitting. If you put the bulb in, the force required to push it down to get the ring in to secure it is such that I am worried about the cable supplying the light becoming damaged due to compression.
In the instructions (esp. detail) there does not appear to be provision for earth and this is a metallic fitting. I am worried that the person whom I am installing it for will not be able to change the bulb, and that a floating bulb holder will present hazards which are potentially dangerous. Although this is CE marked I am not confident it meets thoses standards or BS7671
Am I being unreasonable or duly diligent???
All observations and opinion welcome so long as they are nice and agree with me
Edit: I can accept that third screw may be an earth but it does not say that.
