If polarity of the line and neutral isn't an issue as long as the earth is good, am I good to go as long as I make sure the earth is connwcted correctly....which I'm confident in doing
I think you have not quite followed that the three cores that are clear are probably (not definitely) line, neutral and earth.If polarity of the line and neutral isn't an issue as long as the earth is good, am I good to go as long as I make sure the earth is connwcted correctly....which I'm confident in doing
The green wire is earth as well; there would be two wires going to the earth terminal on the ceiling.
For the three clear wires there are six options as pictured below, the ones connected via blue arrows will be, in this case, equivalent.
However if your identification is wrong then the light fitting could be deadly as the metal body could become live.
It is important to know which wire is which to avoid connecting a live cable to the body of the fitting.
