Hi all

Looking to replace ceiling light.
Have three twin and earth cables descending from ceiling.
Three lives grouped and terminated.
Two neutrals grouped and terminated.
Three earths grouped and terminated.
One switch live (neutral) terminated

.

From the attached image where would the switch live be connected on the light fitting? There is no separate connector shown .

Appreciate any advice please.

Many thanks Murdochcat.
So group all lives and switch live together? Prior to connecting to light fitting?

No. The three lives join together in a wago ,or insulated terminal block,and do not connect to the light fitting in any way. Just sit inside the base housing of the new light fitting.
 
You could use something like a Greenbrook lighting connector...

There's plenty of room to fit your 3 T&E cables in to the larger connector.
It also includes a fourth terminal for the loop wiring.
A length of flex can run from the smaller connector to the lamp.
It saves having to mess around, holding a heavy light fitting up to the ceiling and connecting fiddly wires into a terminal block - simply plug it in.
 
Or use something like the hager lighting jb, it reproduces the wiring in the old rose
