[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 508700, member: 6969"] I would say the 3 PLAIN reds join together in the LOOP terminal. the 2 plain blacks into N and to the N of the light fitting. The Black with the red sleeving is switched L to the L terminal to the light. That will get the original wiring working and the light working. THEN you need to determine what is the brown and blue that has been added? Is it a feed to another light? Is it a feed to a bathroom fan? Depending what it is, it might want permanent L, switched L or something else. you may have to get up in the loft and physically follow it to see what it goes to. Which brings the often repeated point PHOTOGRAPH and DOCUMENT everything BEFORE you remove the old light fitting. [/QUOTE]
