I'm replacing a fluroescent tube with an LED strip light.
Photo shows the wires which connected to the old tube light (single one way switch).
The new LED light has a short pre wired cable with live and neutral wires only.
How do I connect the new LED light to the old wiring, retaining the same switch?
Thanks

You either need to fit a suitable box or ceiling rose to those cables.
 
The blue with the brown sleeve to live, the other blue to neutral.
Leave the two browns as they are just connected with each other, the earths need a connector fitting to them.
