Hi, im new to this forum but need help. I have (or my partner has) decided to change the lights in the living room. We have 2. I have taken off the ceiling rose and there a are 4 wires. 1 brown 1 earth 2 blue however in my new light fittings there is only room for 3 wires. Can i put the blues together? In the other light in the living room there was only 3 wires so that was simple
Thanks for any help in advance
 
They are seperate wires. The earth and live come out of 1 pipe. The 2 blues are individual with no markings on them to show its a different neutral or anything? Dont wanna blow my house up lol.

Whats the worst that could happen? It trips the fuse? Its been connectes like that with power on to the other light fitted and working and nothing has happened.
 
The new one has 4 terminals mate, I think you forgot about the Earth terminal.
