the red in the single connector block is the switched live so that goes to the live connection on the light fitting the two blues are the neutrals and they should both be connected to the neutral connection in the ligt fitting, the green/yellow are the earths and they should be connected to the earth connection on the light fitting(assuming it has an earth connection of course) if not just connect them together and finally the two browns and the red should be connected together and seperate from the light fitting connections

So you saying the 2 browns and the red cable I should connect them all together ? In one connector block?
 
And the neutrals put them all in same connector block too.

so your left with 1 red is the switch live. That’s goes to the live on the light fitting

The 3 cables red and 2 brown join them all together in a single block

and the neutrals do I put both cables together in a connection block and join the neutral from the light so 3 neutrals in a single block
 
Yes, that would be ok.

You can do what you propose with the neutrals.

Or just wire the two neutrals directly to light if long enough.

Either will do.
 
Remembering, of course, that the junctions must be enclosed in a suitable enclosure. Not just pushed up into the ceiling void without any protection.

one of THESE would do the job.
 
I followed what people explained how to wire it up it still won’t work
 
Show us a picture of the wiring connections you have made.
Have you blown any fuses ,or tripped any MCB whilst attempting to wire up the light ?
