Shows the level of my electrical knowledge etc but:
Bought a lamp. Took the plug off to fit wire through small hole. Seemingly a self destructable plug - no screws so had to break it open. Bought a replacement plug but noticed there is only a blue and brown wire in the lamp, no earth. There's a fuse in both but in the new plug there's a slot for earth and nothing going into it. I've turned on the lamp with the new plug because yolo etc and it seems to run fine but just checking what the earth situ is?
The lamp is this:

It's got a 50w LED in at the moment if that makes any difference. Says recommended bulb is 6w but I'm not a mole so... :/
Will I make it through the night? Will the whole city go up in flames ? Rolling brownout etc?
