I’m trying to replace my ceiling pendant and the wiring is confusing me. I have two neutral (black) wires and two live (red) wires, however the two live wires are looped and there’s no way to attach them to the new fitting without slicing and stripping the wires which I don’t want to do unless I...

Bought a new light fitting from amazon to replace an old hanging single bulb from a ceiling rose, but I cant get my head around how to wire it for the switch.

All fittings are fed from Klik roses...

Wonder if anyone can help. Hoping it's a simple one!

Connect the 3 neutral wires in the...
I hope someone can help. I should have taken a picture of the old fitting but as it was 3 wires I thought it'd be okay. In the picture you can see I have the black and blue together, the connections marked 'loop' are empty, red and brown are together and earth goes to the rose.
My problem is...
