As far as i Can remember, you just need the two outer conections on the tree pin conector
Hope this helps

EEK just re-read your post, 1 conector goes to earth, the other goes to bulb !!!!!!!
It's an earth switch, not a live switch

The power runs through the bulb and then the switch. Rather than the other way round.
