    I have one in my kitchen, next to the "cordless kettle" I'll have a poke later.


    More interestingly I have identical downlights in my ceiling, some are Class I with an earth and some are class II, when I enquired why the manufacturer told me that they make them up to customers specifications, so the Class depends on what the customer asked for; they could all be Class II, but some customers prefer to see them earthed, so they add an earth fly lead and terminal if requested and I had ended up with a mixed batch.
