The black sleeve is literally what makes it double insulated, lol.
I don’t like these double insulated lights tbh, because the double insulation is always fairly lacklustre.
One option is to put a screw where it says “GND” and wrap the bare copper of the earth around it. Which will earth the light - which is similar to what I did on another light fitting recently.

Wiring in some double insulated wall lights, which means they don't need earthed.
They come with these wee boxes attached
But because the old light fixtures have the earth wire, I'll be keeping those and wiring the new light into them, like so
Obviously no earth wire from the light into the box
Just want to double check this is safe - I've little experience with this stuff. The black sleeve on the end of the supplied light box isn't vital right?
