Dimmer Switch Ceiling Wiring - Help!

[lilone3585]

I am trying to change two ceiling fixings in one room. They are both connected to a dimmer switch(with 2 knobs - 1 for each light). After removing both the fixings and rewiring them to the nex fixings, the lights do not work anymore. The first fixing is wired correctly as it was a simple 1 cable(3 wires) but the 2nd fixing has about 4 cables with numerous wires coming out of it and I do not know how to wire them correctly. Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou.

Keep the red and blue in that connector.

Connect all remaining reds to centre 'loop' terminal.

Connect all blacks to N terminal (with blue flex).

Connect yellow to (sw) L terminal (with brown).

All earth wires to earth terminal.

That dimmer wiring, is there a link from the red wire to another terminal?

Thank you for everyones replies.

@Taylortwocities - not as far as I know.

@sparkwright - What do you mean by with blue flex and brown?

I'm talking about the terminals where the wires from the lampholder go.

Put the ceiling wires in the empty holes, no need to put them in the same holes as the lampholder wires.

As Taylor says, at the switch the red wire should go into one terminal, with a short linking wire to another terminal.
It should already be done, perhaps you didn't see it as it's at the bottom out of sight.
