    I want to connect a high-power lamp, but the lampshade has two wires. So what to do with the ground wire? Attach it to any metal element of the lampshade? I'd be grateful for a layman's answer.

    Regards!

    If the lamp has a cube for only two wires, and does not have a terminal for connecting the ground, then it is apparently not required [e.g. plastic housing, no accessible conductive elements].
    A 2-wire cable should be used to connect such a lamp [if a 3-wire connection is used, the 3rd wire should not be "hanging in the air", connect to the ground).
    I suggest you carefully analyze what your colleague wrote. [kkas12]

    What IP is the luminaire?

    Moderated By retrofood:

    And what does this have to do with it? I advise you to think before such advice. Section 3.1.11.

    If the lamp does not have a terminal for connecting the protective conductor, you protect the end of the PE conductor (e.g. with insulating tape) against accidental contact with the other ones and hide it.
    You do not cut it, because in the future you may use a luminaire that will require a protective conductor to be connected.

    Not true. [retro food]

    Can someone finally tell the truth?
    Different people read the forum and there are certainly interesting solutions.
    And do not delete the post one by one.

    Thank you for your response.

    A three-segment connecting block is used. If the luminaire is in the second class and has two wires, the PE is terminated in a cube.
    And the insulation tape is an insulating material temporary and has no right to play any permanent role in the installation!!!

    ooh. ;-) My friend Stanisław, there are many insulating tapes for permanent insulation in the offer of various companies.
    The first example from the edge link

    Buddy, if someone is stingy with the connector, they will definitely not buy a professional tape.
    Of that you can be sure.

    That's true. But you can't categorically prohibit the use of tape either.

    Oops, just noticed I'm posting in a thread started by a layman. This is why you should contact a professional. This, in turn, should have We have several different connectors at hand, as well as professional tapes. ;-)

    Even in legal regulations there are cases when some adopted solutions are different when the installation is, for example, under constant, professional supervision.

    So the issue is resolved, I close the issue.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the proper handling of a ground wire when connecting a high-power lamp that has only two wires. It is noted that if the lamp's design does not include a terminal for a ground connection, it is likely unnecessary, especially if the lamp has a plastic housing and no accessible conductive parts. Users suggest protecting the end of the ground wire with insulating tape to prevent accidental contact, while emphasizing that this should not serve as a permanent solution. The importance of consulting a professional for proper installation and safety is also highlighted, as well as the potential need for different connectors in future installations.
