I have the new three cores (Brown, black and blue) and earth cable feeding two lights in living room controlled by one switch.

Could some one point me to the circuitry for both the lights at the ceiling-rose side. I have trolled the net a million times but could not find a circuit that can solve my problem.

Every one speaks about two cores and earth connections but no-one about the three core and earth.

The problem is i have removed the wires and dont know how to connect them back.

The new harmonised colours are black, brown, grey, CPC(earth) for three core and earth.

Would be impossible to say, without a proper look and some testing, there are varying methods of installing and there is also the possibility that the installer used a method all of there own and made do with what ever cable they had.

What you have does not sound like a standard set up, what cables do you have at the switch point and at both light fittings?

As above does not sound standard, but you may be missing something and again what was the installers methods and materials they decided to use?

That is the main problem, always note down connections prior to disconnecting and mark up the cables to identify them!
You will need to attain some approved test equipment that can test for continuity and voltage, multi-meters are inexpensive.
