new security light wiring

Just bought a PIR light from screwfix, and on taking the back off to wire it up, I find that there is a red, yellow/green, blue and a dark brown. I have a wire to plug into the mains with only 3 wires, so what do i do?
The red seems to go back into the light fitting on the other side of the block.

Yes, looking at it, the red one is on the right, away from the hole for the wire.0
