The live terminal on the light fitting is for your switched live, any other live in there will make the light lit permanently.
If your lights are 3 plate (fed to the fitting, not the switch) then you'll need to add a terminal for the 'loop feed'

Newer installations the core colour will be different:
Red=Brown (live/line)
Black=Blue (neutral)
Black sleeved Red=Blue sleeved Red (switch live)
Green/Yellow=Ditto (CPC/Earth)
Some fittings supply a spare terminal for the looped in line/live, unfortunately some don't. So in that case the line/live will require a connector to terminate the cable together.
