It has a blue wire, a brown wire and a green striped wire.
I'm assuming the green striped is ground. Brown hot and blue neutral?
Exactly.
(I think this is a standard, but I shy away from voltages above 48vdc :-)
It's certainly a standard used in England and the rest of Europe. All our

walls [1]) use this colour code.
Erm, it's standard in Scotland, Wales and Ireland too...
