I need help wiring my 3 prong plug

[LIP]

The diagrams are for an English 3 point plug.

As a general rule the blue is the LIVE wire and will go to the left hand contact.
The green Yellow is Nuetral and would normaly go to the contact for the hole.
The Brown is EARTH and would then be connected to the right hand contact.

Easy way to remember is the second letters of brown and blue
r = right
l = left

Brown is earth? In England green/yellow is ALWAYS earth, not brown. I dont know about France though.

Brown is positive, blue negative and yellow/green earth.

I'm in France, and I bought a fluorescent lamp by OSRAM that came with wordless instructions for connecting the wires to the lamp (I had to buy the wires at a different store) so I bought the cable with blue, yellow/green and brown wires inside, and I bought a 3 prong plug, (well, here in france it's 2 prongs and one hole). I can't figure out what goes where and what's not supposed to be touching what in the plug. If I could find a pdf with pictures, I think I could figure it out. Rating: 5
