Another 'new light fitting to old wiring' question.

Sorry about this but I can't see this having been covered already.

The old wiring from the ceiling is standard one each of Red (L) Black (N) andyellow/green (E) in a connector box, so 3 wires into a connnector box.

The new light fitting has 3 bulbs and 2 cables each of which has one Blue (N) and one Brown (L) wire (there is also an earth wire), so 5 wires in total

I would have just normally doubled up the 2 new Blue (N) wires and connected them to the old Black (N) on the connector box and the same with the 2 new brown wires to the old Red on the box and obviously the same with earths.

However! The wiring instructions on the light fitting states:

Neutral loop - (N)Black to Blue ...fine
Earth to earth...fine

here's the bit that puzzles me:

Switch wires - blue with brown sheathing or black with red sheathing (S)....Brown (nope lost me!)
Live loop - Brown or red (L)....No connection to light fitting (eh?? What do I do with the Red live from the household supply??)

Any help as always gratefully received

You do not have a Live Loop.

Just Switched Live Red, Neutral Black and Earth G/Y.

So does that mean I just proceed with the original plan of doubling up the 2 blues and 2 browns from the new fitting and connecting them to the respective neutral and live wires from the household supply?

Pictures would help immensely.

Yes. Plus the earth.

Surprised they aren't terminated in a connector block.
