Hi, just wondering how I would wire this light please. Ceiling has 3 wires all with a red, black, yellow/green. The new light has one one blue, one brown, and one yellow/green

Did you get a pic before removing the existing fitting?
One set of Red, Black and Earth is from the fusebox
One is to the next light
One is to the wall switch

You need to identify which cable is the switch wire,do you have a continuity tester or multimeter?

Three cables - nine wires.

I have just bought a multimeter. Do you know what I test and when I test it can I just turn the power back on and not touch the other wires while I test them or do I need to have them covered with something??
Thank you for helping!!

Turn all the power off and test between each red and black, the one that makes your multimeter beep when the switch is switched on is the switch wire, then connect as this..

Post a pic of your multimeter.

Do you know how to do a continuity test with your multimeter? You must turn off the power before doing this.
