Help need to change ceiling light

[Russ9411]

I'm trying to change a ceiling rose for a 3 plate light. I connect the 3L to L, E to E,then there is 3 black (n) I connect 2 N to N but the 3rd (Must be the switch live ) isn't anywhere to connect to.

Any advice

Maybe you would benefit from getting a spark to do this?

The single black is the switch return so goes to the brown terminal preferably with a red sleeve on it to identify , the two blacks go to the blue terminal and the three reds connected together with no connection at the fittings block connector. The earths go to the earth terminal but I cannot see an earth wire at the fitting?

Yeah I know but that block connector on the new fitting doesn't look right and I reckon the OP has fitted it.

 

[The Ghost]

yeh now you say I see it.

The earth is in the middle of the new fitting. (Label came off )And yes I put a bigger connector block on it because I couldn't fit all the L wires in the connector it came with. So I know the L to L, two of the N (black ) to N (BLUE ) E to E but that leaves me with the switch return, so my question is, where do wire it to.

 

[westward10]

The switch return which is the single black goes to brown and the three reds connect together only and not at that three way connector.

Can anyone advice me as to where I connect the wires from the single light into the new chrome light. On the chrome light there is a connector that has three openings but the old single has wires coming out of four different holes .On the chrome there is L E N.On the old one the 3 L get fed into one hole two black get fed into a hole and a single black gets fed into a hole. The E gets fed into a hole just above the rest of the wires (see photo )
