Wiring a new ceiling light

[Interplay]

I am trying to wire a new light in a bedroom. The new light fitting has 1 cable with three wires (brown, blue and yellow/green), the old light fitting has 1 cable with two wires (brown and blue) and there are 3 cables coming out of the ceiling each with 2 wires (red and black). At present all 3 red wires go to 1 connector that doesn't go anywhere else, 2 of the black wires connect to the brown and the other connects to the blue. How do I connect the new light with its 3 wires?

Many thanks

would you believe the same way as the light is now, except you must also connect the earth (gn/y) the earth you are looking for should be there some where (he said hopefully)

Remember the earth connection is essential. If you can't find one at the ceiling rose then you must not use your new light.

i will add to that if you do find earth wires that are not connected together you really need to test/inspect the whole cuircuit before connecting any class 1 equipment to it

when you find one fault like that you have to assume there are likely to be more.
