Question:

Can you install an outdoor light without a ground wire?

Answer:

Dylan Thornfield, Specialist in Outdoor Lighting

Yes, it is technically possible to install an outdoor light without a ground wire. However, it’s important to note that this is not recommended for safety reasons. The ground wire serves as a safe path for electrical current to follow in the event of a short circuit or other electrical fault. Without it, the risk of electrical shock or fire significantly increases. Therefore, it’s always best to include a ground wire in your outdoor lighting installation.
