replacing celing light, new light has different connectors

jinx_uk_98

hi guys,

Wonder if anyone can help.

I've want to replace our upstairs and downstairs hall lights, the problem is that the new lights have completely different wiring connectors.

This is my current setup, which has a live, Neutral and a loop



and here is the new fitting, which is completely different, there doesn't appear to be a loop connection.


anyone have any idea how to connect them up??

I the light switches control both upstairs and downstairs lights, if that makes an difference.

Cheers
Kev

3 reds into the unmarked terminal.
2 blacks that are with blue into N
black that is with brown into L
3 green / yellows into earth

Yep, 3 reds (loop) into the unmarked terminal - problem is it can be difficult twisting the 3 together and getting them to fit the small terminal hole securely, try two in one side, one in the other. Wrap any exposed wire with insulating tape.

Or you could get a slightly larger terminal block provided it fits in the light fitting.
