'Varilight' LV transformer
 

I've just re-sited one of these Varilight 12v lighting SMPS transformers
(bought from TLC) and noticed the cover/cord grip on the mains end had
actually pierced the insulation of the feed TW&E. Its fixing screws
weren't done up particularly tight, either.

The design of the grip is a square section bar which fits tightly between
two others if tightened fully.

These designs annoy me. It is presumably designed for ordinary TW&E input
- the instructions say no different - but there is no provision to make
off the earth and therefore to extend it onwards if needed - although
there are two sets of mains terminals for just this purpose.
