Ok. The light is on the same 'ring' as another light I think (when

Yes, really not a good idea.

You have 2 options:

1. Run a new earth.

2. Replace the light with a double insulated plastic one that does
not require earthing.

Ok Grunff, thanks for your replies. I think I'm going to try and find

Don't forget that you'll have to inform the building control officer
with a view to inspection....
