Ciao, mi sono recentemente trasferito in un nuovo posto dove devo installare anche le luci (nel mio appartamento precedente erano già installate dal proprietario). Ho già un kattovalaisin che ha solo 2 fili per il collegamento mentre la presa sul soffitto ne ha 3. Capisco che uno di questi è per la terra. Ma non c’è nessun segno chiaro che lo indichi. Qualcuno ha idea di cosa sia cosa? Allego l’immagine sia della presa sul soffitto che del connettore della luce. Grazie in anticipo gente.

This looks more like the outlet has wires for two separate lights. Could it be that there is also a double-switch for these lights?
This is now where a multimeter would come handy… just sayin’.
It picks up the phone and it calls the professional.
If you are renting call the huolto that manages your building to install it, when I moved into my apt previous tenants left the entire socket unscrewed from the ceiling and the huolto came to fix it within the same day. Its better to be safe than sorry when it comes to electricals.
You have old wiring colours (early 70’s and before) in the ceiling, if they’ve been correctly wired the gray wire is *supposed* to be neutral and the two greens are *supposed* to be live wires from the switch, which I assume is a double switch. But as others have noted, if you have no way of making sure that the wires are not live when handling them etc. you should call your maintenance company or an electrician just to be sure, even if the Wago connectors aren’t as hazardous to handle as screw terminals.
It seems to me that there is
– two live wires 230V (green)
– one zero 0V (gray)
You should be aware, though, that if the previous electrician has been lazy or not a professional, the colors may not be coherently selected. Also, the coloring system of these wires has changed nearly every decade during the last 100 years, so the only sure method is to check it with a multimeter or voltage tester.
There is no protective earth connection (yellow-green wire) in your outlet and thus you should be very conscious when connecting your lamp. By connecting the wrong wires, the lamp will work, but you may risk your life.
This is a job for an electrician, get them to install you a standard light socket.
