Are you able to tell us what sort of light it is, what lamp is in it. Most lights are not polarity conscious and in a sealed type lamp as no terminals, (metal bits) exposed then it will not matter wich, live or neutral is connected. Does the fitting have a symbol of a square within a square as this would indicated that it is double insulated and does not require an earth.
