I followed the diy tips on how to install a new light and switch taking the cable from switch to light and the cable from junction box (not connected yet) to the light but instructions says light pendent should have 2 blocks one with 2 terminals and the other with 3 three terminals but the light i've got only has 1 block 3 terminals is it ok to connect them to the block or what is the correct step to take thanks

If the light doesn't have enough terminals in it, add some more:

If there isn't enough room in the light fitting for extra terminals, then first of all it is a piece of junk. Second, take the supply to the switch, and connect the neutrals and earth together in there using the same kind of terminal strip.
