one of the blacks should be red sleeved. post a pic.of the existing wiring before you disconnect anything. arggh, just seen it.

1. those cpc's (earths) need redoing. bare copper showing.
2. the 3 reds go in the 3 loop terminals.
3. 2 of the blacks are N's. 1 is switched L.

get them wrongand you will have:

a) a burnt out switch
b) a maybe damaged MCB, or a blown fuse.

20 minute job or a sparks. call one.
 
One of the blacks shpuld have had a bit of red sleeving or tape on as its the return from the switch... Also is there an earth fly lead to the cobduit box? Not evident on pics

take murdoch's mid point as a guide. if it's more you'll need to dig deeper. if less then you can have a couple of beers.
