Thanks, but surely that would be part of the ceiling light I have bought. It is LED, but just has a connector for just neutral and live and nothing in the instructions about buying a separate driver. My issue is the instructions do not cover any of the situations I have with multiple wires!I'm no expert but I think you need a led light driver
have you got 2 light switches for the one light?Thanks, but surely that would be part of the ceiling light I have bought. It is LED, but just has a connector for just neutral and live and nothing in the instructions about buying a separate driver.

Thanks a million!! Is it OK for the earth to go on the metal bracket that fixes the light to the ceiling? The light I took down had a place to connect that but this new one doesn't.Is yours an older house? Looks like you have wiring passing along to other lights and running to switches etc. it’s not real;y done that way anymore but you have to keep it as is or something will stop working, I.e a the light switch, or another light. In both lights it looks like previously the wiring was joined together with little joining blocks. They aren’t part of the actual fitting. You should be able to keep those as is and just wire the one live and one neutral to your light. Eg in your first pic the one blue wire going down should go to your new neutral connection. You are correct, the led driver is in your light fitting.
Yes, a lot of lights don’t have the earth, but it can just go to the bracket.Thanks a million!! Is it OK for the earth to go on the metal bracket that fixes the light to the ceiling? The light I took down had a place to connect that but this new one doesn't.
Good luck with finding one to do a 30 min job like this.Definitely sounds like a job for a qualified electrician.
