Hi

Seconded

Looks complex and IMHO, get a decent sparky. Tell them what it is, what you want and a few pics and should not cost more than the call out of about 40 quid. However, do try to get a firm quote over the phone if you can as tradespeople can at times looks a fair price then more than double/treble the original estimate/guesstimate/etc.  Possibly seek a free quote and the guy that comes to look at it may do it for around the price I mentioned.

Good luck.

I would hope they have got it sorted by now as the last post by the OP was in August 2020.

Hello MSE,
I've recently bought four light fittings (to replace the existing simple ceiling light pendants) that look like the following to wire up:

I've already changed two of the four pendants since they are just a single wire coming in (from the other hallway/landing light) so they were simple.
But my other hallway light looks like:

And my other landing light looks like:

So I was wondering how these should be wired up for the new lights? I understand that the 4 wires are: supply for light, supply for next light in circuit, switch line and loop to other light, but I'm a bit confused where the live and neutral cables should go because currently they go into 3 terminal blocks but the new light will only have one 2 terminal blocks for these?
Many thanks for any help you can provide!
