ceiling rose to halogen light with LNE block

[tris75]

Hi this is my 1st post here.

I have just aquired 2 new halogen lamps for my lounge and they have a LNE block on them for the wiring and when I lookk at the ceiling rose that is fitted there are a good 6/8 wires up there.

I am a fairly competent diy'er and have done some electrics before but lights are new to me and I am stumped as to what wire goes where and I am hoping someone on here could guide me of possible please.

1/2 is the switched live, 3/4/5 is the permanent live, 6/7/8 is the neutral

switched live to L on new
neutral to N on new
earths to earth on new
permanent lives into a seperate terminal block, all together..

Have a look at that black strip, and imagine its broken into three sections, then look at which wires go to the existing light

many thanks indeed for the replys it all makes sense now.

Just so I have it clear i just take the permenant lives and wire them together into a connector block inside a choc box and just leave them at that they dont connect to anything on the new light

Thats right. I just rewired my bathroom light, it was like this, but with two black and two red. Connected two red together not the light, and both blacks to the light's L and N.
