How to fit this light batten

[ipf]

Connect the earth
Connect the 3 reds to loop
Connect the 2 black wires into to N
Connect the 1 black to L
I spose whether the reds are connected by a terminal outside the fitting or within the fitting doesn't matter in terms of it working because they are connected?

Dat's de way to do it.
Well worked out. Photo us the result.

Thanks. I may just leave the red and earth cables out of the new one as it may cause more issues to disturb them. the space above is the loft and there is no insulation - so no interference. I'll have a proper look at it tomorrow.

I No unsheathed cable is permitted outside of the lampholder. The grey and the white outer sheaths of the cables must pass through the slot in the base, with all exposed red and black plastic inside the assembled holder.

No, use the terminals provided in the rose,. As previously stated all cables should be terminated correctly inside it, with no internal (black or red) insulation showing externally. Insulation tape isn't suitable to replace the external pvc.
