So, if I don't connect the earth, any bad effect? |

If it is not a necessary and don't have any bad effects, I hope to ignore them.. haiz.... This post has been edited by tiensong: Oct 26 2011, 10:39 PM |

I saw the downlights only have two wires so I ignore the earth wire mah... Suddenly I scared I have made a mistake....so, I ask here for advices... I really hope I can ignore the earth wire without any bad effects...because I afraid to re-do all again...... |
