Discuss What to do with two additional red wires when using newer light fitting? in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

I am changing a light fitting and have excess wires. I’ve matched up the three core wires for the feeds I have but have two additional red wires left (pic included).

What do I do with these? Just tape them off separately? Or should they be inserted somewhere?

Thanks in advance for any help! (I think the complexity comes from old wiring being used for a new light fitting)
