I have just bought a new 3 bulb ceiling light, and removed the old (one bulb) ceiling rose to get it fixed up. It is connected to a dimmer switch, but the leads I am left with are - 1 x Brown, 1 x Blue and 1 x Green/Yellow. My new light has 3 lots of Blue & Brown leads (for each bulb). The terminal block on the old ceiling rose is made up of one 2 terminal block, and two 3 terminal blocks, but I haven't got any black/red connectors (as suggested in the lights' very unhelpful "instructions").
I can't fathom out how to connect it all!!! :cry: Can anyone please help!!!! I can take digital pictures of what I've got + e-mail them if that'll help.

connect them colour to colour 3 blue -one blue

3 brown - one brown

Ideally you should take out the flex and connect your light to the twin and earth cable that is already there, but do make a note of which goes where first (but since you have pictures you will not need to)

and dont forget the earth
