    JIMIK
    SQUARE INSIDE A SQUARE. IS SYMBOL FOR CLASS 2 PRODUCT
    DOUBLE INSULATED PRODUCT
    CONNECT UP ALL YOUR EARTH WIRES AND PUT INTO A TERMINAL
    BLOCK, TAPE UP. NO EARTH CONNECTION REQUIRED TO FITTING.
    BEFORE DISMANTLEING CURRENT LIGHT YOUR RED WILL GO
    TO BROWN OF TERMINAL BLOCK IN NEW FITTING, AND BLACK
    WILL GO 2 BLUE TERMINAL OF NEW FITTING.
    KEEP TO RECOMMENDED LAMP WATTAGE OF FITTING , STATED
    ON IT.
