Default Re: Earthing vintage brass bankers desk light

If all metal parts of the lamp are in good electrical contact one earthing point suffices. (This can occasionally be a problem where different metals are involved and corrosion sets in)

Finding the smaller diameters of 3 core cable IS a problem these days- as is avoiding getting the ends twisted on final assembly.

Needless to say there are extra considerations if you are selling the lamp rather than keeping it.
