I have a strip light in the kitchen operated from a single switch. I want to replace it with a straight bar 4 spot array. There are three supply cables to the strip light, two of these are 3 core, red, black and earth. The third cable is 4 core, red, yellow, blue and earth. The new fitting has one terminal block with four spaces L, N, earth and spare way. How do I wire the new fitting? What wires go where in the new fitting terminal block

copy the original wiring
wire from old live terminal goes to new live terminal
old earth terminal to new earth terminal
all cables from old N terminal to new N terminal
you can leave the reds in the original terminal block if it will fit in the new fitting.
 
Looks like the new terminal block has a spare way for those three reds.
