How to wire my two switch light into my new led light. (DIY electrician)

[Michael19987]

How do i wire those cables into my new led light? Any help is much appreciated. I tried various ways but couldnt get the switch to work. Light was on but could not switch off.

If the cable on the left of that block is indeed the neutral (i see some blue) this is where the two black ones from the first pic go. And then the red cable that goes with the brown one is what goes with the far right on the block the one in the middle is going to be your cpc.
Are there any instructions or diagrams?

Thanks for the reply, so what happens with the other 3 spare reds?
No instructions or diagrams

They're your permanent lives put these in a wago connector block together

Obviously make sure power is off to do this. And use a tester to confirm the circuit is dead

the 3 reds that are in the centre block should be connected together, i/e 3 into 1 block, but not connected to anything else. the single red is your light "live", and the 2 blacks are into a block and supply your light Neutral.

so looking at your 2nd pic. the single red goes in the right. the 2 blacks in the left, earth in the middle, and the 3 reds connected togeher in a separate block, but not to the light.

before disconnecting the original, put a mark on the single red so you know what's what.

classic case of 1,2,3,4.
1. it works
2. it don't work.
3. light on permanent.
4 BANG.

Brilliant ill give it a go thanks very much

 

[Michael19987]

Ok that worked perfect, now what about the following one, i have an extra red, black and earth

 

[magnoliafan89]

Again those 4 reds are your permanent lives and these need to go together just like the last lot. Same with the cpc

 

[Michael19987]

There is also a 3rd neutral which cannot be seen, im assuming that goes with the rest of the neutrals?

Yes

All three neutrals (blacks) connected together. These connect to the blue conductor from the light.
