The lights are all on one circuit so both are still an option unfortunately, I'd ask what methods can be used to determine which is correct but I'd likely just get shouted at.

The 2 nearest are the lounge and the upstairs light, how do I know which is the previous light?

Using a multimeter I am getting no reading from either of the tests Echo the Husky has suggested.

The big main one, right at the right hand side

Power cut affected the street, after the power returned the main breaker cut off

I can't get a multimeter at the minute, as soon as I can, likely Monday I will do the tests Echo said, is the lighting in the rose correct as far as can be seen?

If I do I do not have it to hand, however there will be one as this property is rented through an estate agents and the board is what was in there when I moved in, as far as I can tell only that single breaker is mislabelled.

I am unsure as to what exactly the breaker connects to as this is what was here when I moved in, it appears to not be connected to anything in the kitchen or indeed to any sockets at all that I can find, turning it off does not affect anything inside the house,

I can guarantee there is no separate fuse for this light, the fuse box is pictured and all switches are up, therefore it appears likely that the previous light holds the key to the problem, is this likely to be the lounge light?

I agree about the corrosion, I shall replace the fitting once I figure out the issues I am having with the light, other than that, any advice? Also any idea as to where I could find/easily access a junction box? And there is only one breaker in the fuse box for the lights, both upstairs and down.

Updated photo of the light fitting, 2 reds, 2 blacks and one earth, both reds go to one terminal, the blacks go to the other 2, one to each, connected to the light. Looking at the fitting, the terminal where the green goes is marked as loop in, the terminal with the reds is marked with an E, and...

Looking at the picture the reds appear to be in separate sides of the same terminal.

Meaning what exactly?

There is only one switch, definitely, for the bottom light, however looking at the fitting there appears to be a standard grey 3 core cable, consisting of a red, a black and an earth wire, and one more red wire in a grey sleeve, I would agree to the break in the circuit theory.

Here is a photo of the light fitting.

The bulb was checked by placing it in the upstairs light fitting, when I get chance I will check the light fitting, I completely forgot that after the power cut the bottom switch had some browning so I replaced it before using it again, placing all the wires in the same places led to the light...

And the light worked until a power cut about 2 months ago

Putting both wires into the same terminal has no effect, using a borrowed mains tester screwdriver there appears to be no power going to the red wire for the downstairs light

Yes I moved the red wire down from L1 to common, the piece remaining in the L2 belonged to the black wire which I moved into L1, all the other lights work

Here is a picture of my downstairs and upstairs switches after making the changes suggested by spark123, the upstairs light works correctly but the downstairs does not at all,
