Hi All,

Just looking for a bit of guidance for installing a new ceiling light fitting. I'm usually pretty confident installing new lighting/sockets etc but this one has me stumped.

The ceiling wiring has a lot more wires than the wiring block on the new fitting accommodates. I've attached photos. Any ideas on how I could wire this up? Any and all advice would be very much appreciated.

Neutral (N) goes to the blues, live (L) goes to the outer brown where the flex is connected. You then need a link from the centre terminal of the new fitting to the earths (green/yellows). Your biggest issue is connecting all those wires behind the new fitting as the rose needs removing and MARK THE SINGLE BROWN WHERE THE BROWN FLEX IS CONNECTED. Your best bet is some Wago connectors.
