    When wiring Spots, why have some stayed permanently on?

    I've wired up my spots however the main light [the one that was once a ceiling rose] works as intended with the light switch, but the rest are permanently on? What have I done wrong? The spots do not have In and Out terminals as part of the fitting, only a blue and brown connector block.

This sounds very straight forward I know but I was only thinking, do they need to be fire rated in the sense the room above is habitable (but obviously this isn’t a ceiling space)?? I know in the ceiling they’d have to be but...
