I installed a couple of pendant fixtures in a bedroom today for a customer. There was no ground wire in the cord. It was a rubber cord covered with cloth. The fixture bracket had a ground screw. The directions said wrap the fixture ground wire around the green screw and connect to the house ground. It also said if there was no fixture ground wire to wrap the house ground around the screw. These were line voltage fixtures and at the end of the cord it was a metal cage. You also had the metal lamp socket connected to the cage with large metal locknuts. So the only part grounded was the canopy. Is that OK? Both fixtures were the same and there was a UL sticker on them.
