That seems right 4 wires plus the earth I joined the red togeter put them opposite the red in the connector the same with the nautral but must have got it wrong as I said now the light won't switch off
also I have 2 on/off switches on the wall either end of the room does this make a difference with your answer
this is so annoying simple job to the expert which I am not thanks for yor reply

I have two grey cables coming from ceiling so I have 2 red 2 blue 2 earth wires
the light already wired up with plastic connector

I put the 2 reds together to the light and same with the blue but this is wrong
( phoned shop but he said he is unable to tell me how to wire up it.s the new law )

do you have just four wires plus earth in rose?blue blue,brown brown or red red ?if so then your switch is faulty.it short circuit,or you may have a loop in loop out system and you have put flexicable from the light fitting in wrong place,
